Delicious Colors
“It’s a very nice cook book,” Mr. Masterson flipped through the clear plastic display book holding the cookbook manuscript. “And ‘Delicious Colors’ is quite an interesting title.”Mike nodded, hoping there wasn’t another ‘shoe to drop’. Tape-?-L'oeil was the last publisher who’d agreed to see him. “Well, as an anosmic, I only care about the scent or aroma of...”“Anosmic?” Masterson dropped the manuscript. “Is that a Christian sect, Mike, or something Middle Eastern?”“It isn’t a Christian…” Mike’s voice trailed off. He felt a weird falling sensation as he realized the mental gulf between them. How could this man not know the cookbook was for people without a sense of smell?

How You FEEL Dictates How Many Clients You'll Attract
As entrepreneurs looking to grow our businesses, we mostly tend to focus on the marketing of our businesses (and I applaud this, of course). I’m known to get on my soap box and say, “If you don’t market today, you won’t have clients in 6 months. And if you don’t market consistently, you won’t have clients consistently.” Obviously, marketing is crucial to staying in business.One thing that’s become clearer and clearer to me over the years is that there’s also an INNER game to Client Attraction. Our mindset, our thoughts, our beliefs and how we FEEL, have a lot to do with what shows up in our lives and our business. What we think about, and how good or bad we feel, literally dictates the number of clients and the level of revenues we pull in.Client Attraction is just that, PULLING in what we want.I
