How to Attract Your Target Audience

Twitter is a wonderful place for wit and wisdom and often when I take a “Twitter break” (I have designated times which I spend there – no open checkbooks here!) I first reply to anyone whose directly contacted me and than catch up on the tweets I missed from some of my favorites.

@rickbutts recently posted this short but profound message that sums up how to attract your target audience  “Stop worrying about your target market and focus instead on being in alignment with yourself – that is the best way to attract your target.”

So what can you do to get in alignment with yourself so that you can attract your target audience?

Here are a couple of things that I’m working on to do just that:

1. Clear off your mental and physical desk top

Clutter = chaos. If you “lose” things on your desk just moments after you put them down, or forget information just moments after you’ve put it into your brain than it’s a good chance that you could stand to clear off your mental and physical desk top.

The best way to “clear the decks” is by setting a timer for 15 minutes and writing down all of the things that are currently causing you to worry, fret or regret. Once you have gotten them all out then review the list honestly and put a * beside everything on the list that is in your control – meaning YOU have the power to do something about it.

Than put a X beside everything that is out of your control. If you honestly acknowledge that thinking about it won’t change it, and that there is nothing that you can actively do to alter the outcome than it’s time to let it go.

Once you’ve got a * or X beside each item on your list you need to choose no more than 10 things that you will move to a priority list and work on addressing them.

Make the commitment that if its not on the list, you won’t give it your time or attention. You’ll notice fairly quickly how any things will actually take care of themselves when you focus only on the things that you can alter or control.

2. Complete your incompletes

One of the quickest ways to become out of alignment is having too many tasks, projects and things left undone. Each time you walk by the picture that needs to be hung on the wall, or you open the document with the article that needs to be written – you chip away at your energy. Incompletes drain you, and soon you go out of your way to avoid them rather than just take care of them.

Here’s a quick way to complete or delete the things that are sucking your time, draining your energy, and keeping you being in alignment so you can attract more of what and who you want.

Again it starts with making a list (there’s just something powerful about writing things down) this time categorize the list into the 4 major areas of your life (you could have more but beware of overwhelm):

• Business/career
• Family/friends
• Finances
• Home

Identify at least  3 things (but no more than 5) that you have not finished and need to either complete or do away with.

Once you have your list choose which of the things you must/need to bring to completion and get clear about which of the things you can actually do away with.

If you started a project that you were super excited about a month ago but just aren’t that into now. Don’t keep torturing yourself over it – get rid of it.

Now that you have the list of the things you need to bring closure to, get to work. Schedule at least one of the items to be addressed each day until it’s complete. You will notice a few things when you do this:

a. It really didn’t take that long to complete the project – you made it a bigger task than it really was

b. You actually like starting something and knowing that you will see it through

c. You feel good about yourself all day long

The payoff for being in alignment isn’t just attracting your target audience, it’s reconnect with the part of you that you love, like, and admire.

When you can get those good vibrations going about yourself, imagine how much more others will come to know, like, and trust you.

Thanks Rick for your simple and profound remider.
