if you met them somewhere co-incidentally?
Especially if they were on your Vision Board?
Would you say “Hello”, smile and move on?
Ask for an autograph?
A picture together to put on facebook?
Would you compliment them and tell them how
they have impacted your life?
Would you ask them to review your work?
What would you wish for?
Today I met Bob Proctor at LAX (Los Angeles Airport) whilst walking down a hallway at the Marriott Hotel OMG! How amazing… (I consider Bob Proctor the “father of the personal development movement” for our time… I think Napolean Hill with his book “Think and Grow Rich”
to be the pioneer of this movement.
This was totalIy unexpected, and I was not ready but I still
grabbed the opportunity to introduced myself and said
how much I enjoy his teachings, then I asked him why
he was at LAX, he answered me, we shook hands, smiled
and exchanged “nice to meet you’s” I thanked him for
stopping to say hello… and we moved on.
Then the mind started, with the “Why didn’t I…?”
ask for a picture together
tell him which of his products I have enjoyed...
let him know who I am.. etc..
What should I have said?
What could I have said in that one moment of time?
What did I learn from this brief encounter?
I remember a training I attended last October, where the presenter said:
“If you were to meet Oprah… what would you say?”
(especially if you wanted her to support your cause)
How do you approach these busy people, potential mentors
to make a positive impression and have them be open to
connecting with you and possibly endorsing
your business or cause?
How does the law of attraction factor in to potentially
bringing you the exact circumstance you wish for?
What I learnt at the October seminar…
(but didn’t think about till today)
is to create and rehearse a formula for success.
And like all Mind Power, law of attraction techniques,
the more you practice it and resonate at that frequency
the faster it is likely to occur.
Formula for “Celebrity” communication - keep it brief.
1. Know what you want and why you want to connect with this “Celebrity”
- Compliment the person on a specific part of their work
or a specific episode you enjoyed.
3. Briefly and concisely mention how it positively impacted you.
4. How it specifically supports/ blends with the work you do.
- Ask if it would be possible to meet with, or speak to them for a specific amount of time - 5, 10 or 15 minutes - to briefly present to them, an overview of what you do and if they could offer any advice/suggestions.
Whatever happens after that is unknown … hopefully
the celebrity will agree … and whichever way it goes,
it will be an opportunity for you to learn and grow.
Practicing this particular formula has a two fold purpose:
- You will be prepared and ready for the time you do meet your “celebrity.” There is a saying “luck is where opportunity meets preparation.”
- As you practice and rehearse your “script” you are putting your intention out into the Universe, you are focusing on what you want
and spending a few minutes regularly being in the”energy” of it.
This is considered an active rather than passive visualization.
Have fun, enjoy your visions and may you be blessed with wonderful opportunities that you will be ready for…
