The Two Most Important Intentions You Can Set In Your Life and Business

The Two Most Important Intentions You Can Set In Your Life and Business by Sheri McConnell

Setting intentions is a conscious way of keeping yourself from going through life on autopilot. You can set an intention each morning, before a meeting or appointment, or even before you go to bed to guide your dreams. Marcia Weider defines intention this way: “to have in mind a purpose or plan, to direct the mind, to aim.” By practicing intention setting you can change your behaviors and eventually accomplish all of your goals. Some changes can happen in a moment, like a changed mindset for an instance and other growth requires the continuous practice of intention setting.

I believe that there are two primary intentions you can set that will dramatically affect your life and your business. These intentions can literally create A New Way of Being in your life.

Your relationship with money and how your feel about it determines your success. Period. If you feel shame when you have debt or if you are paralyzed when making a certain investment because of a relative number, then your money mindsets are affecting your results. To be successful, it is crucial that you begin a lifelong study of healthy mindsets and behaviors you should have where your money is concerned. Mindsets are energy just as money is energy. And you can literally attract money by learning how to experience money in a healthy way. Here are three money mindsets that you can learn that will help you grow your business.

1) Customers Want To See You Invest In Your Business Before They Are Willing To Invest In You

Have you ever visited a website and subconsciously decided this website wasn’t worth your time or money? Of course you have! Internet visitors do it everyday. Yet, many business owners think that they can convert visitors to members without putting there best foot forward on their website. They expect visitors to invest in them when they aren’t willing to find a way to even invest in themselves (their website) first. Trust me, I get cash flow issues. But if you can understand just the basic rule of “invest in your website and your customers will invest in you faster” then you are ahead of at least 75% of the businesses that exist on the Internet today. And it doesn’t cost as much as you would think at all. The costs have come down substantially over the last five years as innovative new companies have popped up to serve online businesses. There are three core areas I have my clients invest in to have the highest ROI (return on investment) on their websites. They are:

- Invest in the latest technologies such as Wordpress.org that allow you to integrate multiple innovative plugins and blogging software.
- Invest in professional copywriting or invest in learning the skill yourself
- Invest in a good designer that understands how to convert visitors to paid customers or members

One-Use a Powerful Business Model

Before you choose your target market, before you build your website, before you learn the latest online marketing strategies; you must choose an equitable and passive business model that allows your customers to see you as a leader in your industry. Not as a player, but as a leader. Most entrepreneurs start businesses without ever considering their business model and then they spin their wheels for years working a service-based business where they start over each day and have nothing to show for their previous work. Some examples of powerful business models are:
