Business Quotes by inspirational author Jack Canfield

One of the things that may get in the way of people being lifelong learners is that they're not in touch with their passion. If you're passionate about what it is you do, then you're going to be looking for everything you can to get better at it.
Jack Canfield - Learning - Passionate - Improvement

People who ask confidently get more than those who are hesitant and uncertain. When you've figured out what you want to ask for, do it with certainty, boldness and confidence.
Jack Canfield - Confident - Questions - People

Some people fold after making one timid request. They quit too soon. Keep asking until you find the answers. In sales there are usually four or five "no's" before you get a "yes."
Jack Canfield - Questions - Quitting - Selling

There are only two words that will always lead you to success. Those words are yes and no. Undoubtedly, you've mastered saying yes. So start practicing saying no. Your goals depend on it!
Jack Canfield - Goals - Success - Decisions

Success depends on getting good at saying no without feeling guilty. You cannot get ahead with your own goals if you are always saying yes to someone else's projects. You can only get ahead with your desired lifestyle if you are focused on the things that will produce that lifestyle.
Jack Canfield - Success - Goals - Feelings - Decisions - Focus

As you begin to take action toward the fulfillment of your goals and dreams, you must realize that not every action will be perfect. Not every action will produce the desired result. Not every action will work. Making mistakes, getting it almost right, and experimenting to see what happens are all part of the process of eventually getting it right.
Jack Canfield - Improvement - Action - Dreams - Mistakes

The problem is the average person isn't tuned in to lifelong learning, or going to seminars and so forth. If the information is not on television, and it's not in the movies they watch, and it's not in the few books that they buy, they don't get it.
Jack Canfield - Learning - Improvement - Problems - Media - Books

If you are not moving closer to what you want in sales (or in life), you probably aren't doing enough asking.
Jack Canfield - Questions - Goals - Selling

Self-esteem is a huge piece of my work. You have to believe it's possible and believe in yourself. Because after you've decided what you want, you have to believe it's possible, and possible for you, not just for other people. Then you need to seek out models, mentors, and coaches.
Jack Canfield - Self Esteem - Belief - People

I'm a big believer in growth. Life is not about achievement, it's about learning and growth, and developing qualities like compassion, patience, perseverance, love, and joy, and so forth. And so if that is the case, then I think our goals should include something which stretches us.
Jack Canfield - Learning - Goals - Belief - Growth - Achievement - Compassion - Persistence - Patience - Love

I teach something called The Law of Probabilities, which says the more things you try, the more likely one of them will work. The more books you read, the more likely one of them will have an answer to a question that could solve the major problems of your life.. make you wealthier, solve a health problem, whatever it might be.
Jack Canfield - Questions - Wealth - Goals - Problems - Books - Teaching - Solutions

I think there's too much emphasis placed on learning things by rote that you don't really care about. So what happens to students in school is that they eventually lose interest in learning, because they've been forced to learn the required courses, rather than pursing their passion.

The Law of Polarity

Law of Polarity.
This law states that "Unity is plural at a minimum of two." In the duality that exists there are two poles, or opposites, of everything. Polarity represents the two extremes of one "thing" which is the same thing. For example, temperature has polarity evidenced by hot at one extreme and cold at the other extreme. The temperature "thing" is the same "thing" and it is evidenced by two poles, or opposites, or extremes - hot and cold. Along this same "thing" degrees measure the perception of the attitude of the individual to what is considered hot and what is considered cold. Hot and cold mean different things to different people - so does rich and poor, love and hate, good and bad, etc.

What is important in understanding the Law of Polarity is the ability to understand the power of transformation. By choosing to change your perception and your resulting attitude you can shift your perception of someone or something from, say, "bad" to "good". This becomes your new reality now. By seeking a higher frequency vibration of energy in this transformation process the previous lower frequency of vibration of energy gets replaced. "Bad" can become "Good", as an example. The choice made, the decision implemented automatically involves the Law of Cause and Effect - reaping what you sow - depending on the choice made in your responses. You can raise your vibrations and positively change others.

It is up to you to make a choice to change your perception and your attitude towards something or someone. Just as it is up to you to create the life you desire.

Another example of the Law of Polarity is the physical and the metaphysical. The physical is what is visible and which we can see, hear, touch, smell and taste. The metaphysical is that which we feel, such as emotions, feelings and energy. In order for you to create what you desire you have to have both the physical and metaphysical. The physical part of us needs to take action to make things happen in the Universe, while the metaphysical part of us needs to do the energy work. It is when we combine both the polar opposites that we create what we truly desire.

This is why most people are frustrated with The Secret and there is so much doubt in the teachings. Action in the physical world, as well as the energy work in the metaphysical world need to take place in order for things to manifest.

The Law of Detachment

The Law of Detachment says "in order to acquire anything in the physical Universe, you have to relinquish your attachment to it."

This does not mean that you have to create by default or that you should not desire or intend for what you want to create. Remember, "meant-to-be" and "luck" do not exist. We need to work with the Law of Attraction to create what we desire. This again means that the Law of Detachment works in harmony with the other laws, including the Law of Attraction.

It is all about trust. When we are in a state of detachment, we trust. To be detached from the outcome of a result means that you have learned to trust.

What is trust? TRUST - To Rely Unto Spirit Totally

When you know that Spirit will give you what you need - not necessarily what you want (that's Ego's job) - then you will learn to do the work that is required to be done and move on. The results will take care of themselves. The timing of how things manifest will come at the perfect time. When we trust the Universe knows what that perfect timing is, it happens even faster, because we get out of the way. If you stand in the way of the energy creating the outcome, or result, through your lack of trust, insecurity and fearfulness, you put a barrier in the way of blocking the efficiency of that flow of energy (resistance). By learning to trust, you live in the wisdom of insecurity and uncertainty where there are unlimited opportunities being created in the present moment of now. Remember the Law of Pure Potentiality?

Again . . . see how all the laws work together?

Detachment is another way of saying allowing. It is when you combine your intentions and detach from the outcomes that your desires will manifest.

This is not to say that you should not make goals and take the action steps in achieving those goals. The Law of Deliberate Creation, the power of intention, and the Law of Detachment all work together to create your desires. Applying the Law of Detachment to your goals and desires allows you to be flexible and trust when the Universe delivers you something for which you are a vibrational match to, but you didn't expect. Detachment allows you to stay open to allow the Universe to bring you something even better than you thought possible.

The Law of Pure Potentiality

Law of Pure Potentiality.
This law is based on the fact that the true essence of who we are is pure consciousness. The Source of all creation is pure consciousness, or pure potentiality, seeking to express itself into form. When we realize that our inner being, the Spirit that animates our minds and bodies, is one of pure potentiality, we are then in alignment with the power that manifests everything in the Universe. Anything is possible and there is unlimited creativity.

As we learned in the Law of Sufficiency and Abundance, the Universe knows no limits. The potential of the Universe and everything in it is unlimited. The only limits are the ones we impose through our fears, doubts, uncertainty, lack of faith, lack of confidence, or any other lower level emotion.

If you feel limits in your life, your Ego will feel fear and desire things that will make you feel "free", such as money, prestige, and power.

What happens to you when the objects disappear?
What if you have all the money you want, and then suddenly it is gone?

Your freedom was conditional. If in your love, in your faith, you know that you are part of the Universe, that The Universe will provide all your needs when you require them, then you are unlimited in your potential. When you are in alignment with pure potentiality, there is no fear. You are then truly free.

If you know and develop a relationship with Source, then act "As If" you were part of Source, you will be in touch with pure potentiality. That is why the practice of meditation is so powerful. When you allow yourself to be silent to just be, you develop the connection with Source, with your pure potentiality.

When we commune with nature and witness the intelligence within every living thing, we are connecting to pure potentiality.

How do you feel when you sit and watch a sunset, or listen to the waves of the ocean crash up against the shore, or smell the beautiful scent of a flower? Pure potentiality created all those things, and so much more.

You are unlimited, know only love, there is no need to fear, know that you are part of Pure Potentiality. Anything is possible, because nothing is impossible. When you are in alignment with the Law of Pure Potentiality, you feel centered and at peace.

Did I lose you on that one? I hope not. If you need to, reread that law again before we continue.

Alright, let's move on.

The Law of Sufficiency and Abundance

The Law of Sufficiency and Abundance: You have everything within you right now to make your life a living dream.

We live in a Universe of abundance, although the majority of us have learned to view it as a Universe of scarcity.

"Our sufficiency is from God" 11 Corinthians 3:5

There is an unlimited supply of every good and wonderful thing, and experience. There is enough for everyone! There is always enough. We have bought into a lie that there is not enough. This lie is the lie of scarcity and limitation.

The truth is we are completely abundant and are able to create whatever we desire. The truth is that we live in a world where, spiritually and energetically speaking, there is an unlimited supply of goods. You were given life, and have access to the power that you need in order to create the life in the way that you choose. And you are not hindered or cheated out of your "portion" of prosperity if someone else achieves or acquires success. We are eternal beings in physical form; well-being and abundance are the basis of our Universe.

Beliefs based in lack affect our ability to manifest our hearts desires, from a space of ease and effortlessness. This lack mentality controls us by keeping us longing for what others have, or fighting to be better than others.

Most of us feel that who we are, what we have, and what we are doing is not enough. That is a big lie. You learned about the Law of Attraction. If you feel that nothing is ever enough, that is what you will be attracting into your life. If you feel you are not enough, you are right. If you feel what you have is not enough, you will continue to receive not enough.

It is time that we learned to tap into the truth of our being. This truth is that we are enough. In this moment, we are perfect, whole and complete just as we are. Because we are growing and expanding beings, we will always desire to have more in our lives, but if we are coming from a place of "not enough" we never will truly feel that whatever we manifest or bring into our lives is enough.

So when is it going to be enough?
When are you going to feel satisfied?
Is it when you lose the 10 pounds?
When you finally have a million dollars in the bank?
When you finally have your ideal relationship?

How do you know what will be enough?

If you are always looking outside of you, at circumstances and situations to become more than they are, you are not in the now and appreciating what you have. If you continue to chase things outside of you in order for you to feel that you are enough, you will never feel truly satisfied. There is always more to achieve, acquire, and do.

When you come from a place of feeling that everything in your life right now is sufficient, you will know great peace. When you can feel gratitude for what you currently have in your life, while at the same time feeling excited for all the things you desire to manifest, you will know complete joy.

What if you aligned your thoughts and emotions right now with abundance? What if you felt that you are enough? You are worthy. You have everything that you need right now inside of you to build a fortune and to reach your goals. You have all you need inside of you to create your ideal job. You have everything inside of you to attract your ideal mate. You always have enough.

So how can you start applying this law right now?

Be satisfied now. Don't wait to be satisfied.

Put your hand over your heart and say to yourself, "I am satisfied with what I have. My love, happiness, and security is coming to me from within, from the creator, as my source, and supply."

Start with where you are and what you have right now. Set your goals, see yourself already there, and be resolved to succeed in attaining your goals, no matter what it takes.

Manifestation happens when we can be in a place of feeling at peace with where we are, while being excited about the possibilities ahead. That is why it's so important to learn about all the Laws, not just the Law of Attraction.

The Law of Allowing.

The Law of Allowing: This is the principle of least action, of no resistance.

The application of the Law of Allowing will bring absolute freedom in your life. You will feel free in your relationships to be who you are. You will feel free in your career to do what you want. And you will feel free in your life to create whatever you desire.

There are two ways to apply this law. First is the way to allow others to be as they are, and second, is the way we allow (receive) from the Universe to deliver all that we desire. Let's first look at allowing others to be as they are.

"I am that which I am. While I am that which I am, I allow others to be that which they are."

Let's say that again, only this time, say it out loud:

"I am that which I am.
While I am that which I am,
I allow others to be that which they are."

There are no two people that are the same, even though we can share many similar traits. We all are very different and unique.

If you can accept, and not just tolerate another person's difference and similarities, then you understand the Law of Allowing.

If you are out of alignment with the Law of Allowing you believe that another person needs to think, feel, believe, and act according to how you think they "should". I call this having Perfect Pictures and this can cause great suffering in your life and your relationships. This is the opposite of accepting another as they are. If you have a deep rooted fear that unless everyone thinks, feels, believes, and acts in a certain way, "your way" then they are somehow "wrong", you then judge.

Judgment is a lower level emotion and based on the Law of Attraction, you will attract more negative people, circumstances, and situations to you. If you need to make everyone conform in order to feel good about yourself and your world, you will never experience freedom. This is the exact opposite of freedom. This is bondage. We can never get the rest of the entire world to behave the way we think they "should". This is why wars start.

Let's look at a possible example. If you are observing someone that talks with their mouth full of food, and instead of allowing them to eat the way they are, you find yourself getting disgusted and upset with that person. You really want that person to change, or stop doing the certain behavior (talking with their mouth full of food). You are afraid that you will look badly as well. Instead of just allowing that person to be as they are, you take it personally and let it affect your mood, and ultimately robbing you of your freedom.

The Law of Allowing is one of the laws that govern our Universe. These laws are eternal, they are forever. These laws are universal, which means they are everywhere. They are absolute, whether you know they are or not. They exist whether you accept they exist or not. They influence your life, whether you know that they do, or not.

When we desire something to manifest from the Universe, and we are feeling negative emotions, we are blocking that creation from coming into manifestation. It is our negative emotions that holds us a part from it. When we release our resistance, we are back in the state of allowing and all the abundance, freedom, joy, success, prosperity, wealth, happiness (you name it) can flow to us.

Can you see how all the Essential Universal Laws work together? It is designed that way. To learn only one law is a good start, but it is knowing and applying all of them that will give you the life of your dreams, if you allow it.

This is getting exciting, isn't it?

We're not even half way there yet, so if you need to, take a second and rest your eyes, stretch, grab a glass of water (or wine) :).

Don't worry, I'll wait for you.

The Law of Deliberate Creation

The Law of Deliberate Creation: That which I give thought to, I begin to attract. What I give thought to with emotion, I attract more quickly.

That which you think about, you get. When you give thought to something you desire with an expectation or believe in it, you are then in the place to receive it.

So, how is this different from the Law of Attraction?

The difference between the Law of Attraction and the Law of Deliberate Creation is that, the Law of Attraction is like a boomerang. Whatever we give out with our energy vibrations (thoughts, feelings, etc) we will receive back to us. The Law of Deliberate Creation is offering a vibration knowingly, so that you don't create by default. Most of the time, unless you are aware of these laws, you are offering a vibration unknowingly.

For example, if you are witnessing something that makes you happy, you are raising your vibration and you will then vibrate happiness. On the other hand, if you witness something that makes you angry, you will offer that same negative vibration. The Law of Attraction responds to whatever you are vibrating by giving you more of the same.

When you don't apply the Law of Deliberate Creation you are an observer. You focus on your current reality and you have a vibration (either positive or negative). The Law of Attraction then responds to that vibration and you receive more of the same.

Let's say that you are in debt. You observe this "reality" and while observing that you don't have enough money to pay your bills, you unconsciously offer a vibration that is negative (fear, worry, doubt, etc). The Law of Attraction responds to that negative, "I am in debt" vibration and as a result, the Law of Attraction brings you more of what you are vibrating (I am in debt) and feeds the cycle.

See, the Law of Attraction can work for you and against you. It is imperative that you fully understand the Law Of Deliberate Creation and you are aware of how all of these laws work together and affect each other.

Let's move on.

The Law of Attraction

The 'Law of Attraction' states that whatever is broadcast out into the universe is joined by (or attracted to) energies that are of an equal frequency, resonance, or vibration.

There are many ways to express the 'Law of Attraction':

* Where your attention goes, your energy flows.
* That which you think about expands.
* Like attracts like.
* That which is like unto itself is drawn.

There are also a number of words that people, who don't know about or understand this law, use to describe it. Like:

* Out-of-the-blue
* Synchronicity
* Serendipity
* Luck
* Meant to be
* Fell into place
* Fate
* Karma
* Coincidence

Again, the 'Law of Attraction' states that whatever is broadcast out into the universe is joined by (or attracted to) energies that are of an equal frequency, resonance, or vibration.

The Law of Attraction delivers both what is wanted and what is unwanted depending on the signal we send out to the Universe.

You attract what you are and that which you concentrate upon. If you are feeling negative emotions, you draw in and experience negativity. If you are feeling positive emotions, you draw in and experience positive life experiences. You can attract to you only those qualities you possess. So, if you want freedom and joy in your life, you must feel what it already feels like to feel freedom and joy in your life right now.

Seriously, take a second right now and see what that feels like. It may be hard to do if you have a lot of distractions going on around you. Take a second and close the door, turn off the TV or radio, or put on some headphones so that you have some peace and quite.

Now, close your eyes and truly imagine...

What does FREEDOM feel like?

Does it mean changing your job, or moving and living somewhere else?

What does JOY feel like?

What does ABUNDANCE feel like?

Okay, now that you've imagined it, now close your eyes again and pretend that you already have it. Imagine that outside of the darkness of your eyelids is your dream home, your dream car, a safe full of money, a partner who loves and adores you, a healthy body, etc.

You can not just imagine having it. You have to truly feel that you already have it, and that you deserve it.

Now let me ask you this, "How many times throughout the day do you focus and live in the space that you are in right now, after imagining all these wonderful things? And how many times a day do you focus on the negative things like; I don't have enough money, enough time, a good partner, I'm fat, people don't like me…

trust me, you and I both know the list goes on and on."

How can we ever expect to attract a 'good life' when we're constantly focusing on the bad?


The Law of Attraction
is Not a New Concept.


This is not a new concept or a newly discovered Law. The Law of Attraction has been communicated through the writing and teachings of some of the greatest teachers in history such as Jesus and Buddha. Although it has been fairly recently that The Law of Attraction was given a name, it has existed since the beginning of time!

Here are just a couple quotes from their teachings.

"Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering."

Who said this? Jesus. Jesus showed that to stop suffering, you need to change your limiting thoughts and beliefs. It was her belief, which began as a thought that stopped her suffering. He didn't say, "I have healed you", he said "Your Faith has healed you."

Having faith is an empowering belief. What are your beliefs that limit you from having what you desire? It is those beliefs that will keep you from attracting everything you want in your life. You need to believe in the Universe and yourself!

"As a man thinketh, so is he"

Who said this? Buddha. Whatever thoughts you focus upon will manifest into form and ultimately create your reality.

"We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make our world."

"All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him."

Let me also clarify again that the 'Law of Attraction' works in both directions, negative and positive. Meaning, if you are focusing your energy on not having enough money to pay the bills, guess what? You won't have enough money to pay the bills. Now, let's say that you are in the same predicament and you 'know' that you will have enough money for bills, even if you don't right then, you will attract a way to have enough money for the bills. It may manifest in money itself, or in an idea on how to create the money.

The hardest part about the Law of Attraction, is knowing how to put yourself in the frame of mind that you need to be in, in order to attract the positive results into your life. It's hard to not think or put energy into the 'bad' or negative things in life. Especially when they're all around you. That's where the other Essential Universal Laws come into play.

So again, I can not express enough that doing only what the Law of Attraction suggests, is not enough. It is necessary, but it is not enough. That's where The Secret and many other Law of Attraction coaches and teachers fall short.

Let's move on to the other Essential Universal Laws so that you can start creating your dream life, Right Now!

The Power of Focus: How to Hit Your Business, Personal and Financial Targets

Whether they are corporate professionals, budding entrepreneurs, or they own a home business, most people are looking to achieve more in less time, while earning enough money to live comfortably. This book reveals the proven techniques thousands of people have used to attain all of the money they wanted while living healthy, happy and balanced lives. "The Power of Focus," the new blockbuster from the coauthors of the bestselling "Chicken Soup for the Soul," is a practical no-nonsense guide that shows readers how to reach their business, personal and financial goals without getting burned out in the process. Canfield, Hansen, and Hewitt have taken the best ideas from their own successful careers (seventy-nine years of combined business expertise), and distilled them into ten powerful focusing principles. The result is a treasury of insights that is enjoyable to read and easy to understand. At the outset, the book identifies the three most important fundamentals for consistent success: developing unusual clarity; understanding that habits determine your future; and using a "no exceptions policy" approach to focus on what you want. Numerous anecdotes and inspiring stories help to reinforce each principle. This is a must-read for business people, sales managers, entrepreneurs, and anyone who is serious about improving their personal awareness.
