Abraham Hicks on Business!!

For fans of Abraham, here is Abraham on Network Marketing

GUEST: I have a question that has to do with business. I have two businesses that I'm working on right now. And one of them, it's real easy for me to flow my Energy to. And I work alone. And I'm very, very good at what I do - and I like it! The other business depends on other people, to attract the right people to be able to make a business work for them. And what's happening is I'm not attracting people that are capable and willing to do it without me. I mean, in other words...I'm trying to create a business where, once I give them the idea and teach them how to do it, that they should just do it. And what I'm wanting to know is -- and when they talk to me, they talk like they want to do it and they're going to do it. They never seem to get around to do or it, or they have all these obstacles that stop them from doing it.So...

ABRAHAM: And so, as you notice they're not doing it, what happens to your valve?

GUEST: It shuts down, I guess.

ABRAHAM: Are all of them not doing it, or just most of themnot doing it?

GUEST: Most of them. I have some that are.

ABRAHAM: Alright. So what you're wanting to do, if you could spend a hundred percent of your time focusing upon the one that's doing it, and none of your time focusing upon the rest of them that aren't, your valve will be open more of the time, and then you will attract more like the one you are focusing upon. In other words, as you focus upon the people you are gathering to you, as you focus upon those that aren't quite getting it, or that have lost the dream, or that aren't willing to do the work, or whatever, what is your vibrational state of being? Remember the statement that, "Whatever you are giving your attention to, you are achieving vibrational harmony with." So the question you are wanting to ask yourself at the end of the day is, "Relative to this subject, if I thought about it today, did I feel good, mostly, when I thought about it, or bad?" See what we're getting at?

GUEST: Yes. Ah, what do you do when people always have their own obstacle? I call them like the weeds of life. They come up with different obstacles: "Well I couldn't do this because this one happened and that one happened. I had to do this and I had to do..."

ABRAHAM: Well, here's a question for you...

GUEST: I get sucked into it.

ABRAHAM: And that's the thing we're wanting to say to you. How are you different from that, as you say, "I'm not having success because they're not doing their part?"

GUEST: The promise is to be able to build an income that will continually come in, called a passive income, that if I getup, or if I don't get up, I still have an income coming in.

ABRAHAM: And so, what we want to point out to you is that there is something inherently wrong with that. And what is inherently wrong with it is that you are, from your place of not wanting to work so hard, saying, "I don't want to work so hard. I want to find something that doesn't require so much hard work." So from this place of not wanting to work so hard, from that feeling place, you've involved yourself in a business that promises that you won't have to work so hard,but the *vibration* is lackful! And so, here is the bridge for that: We don't think that you are not wanting to offer effort or Energy. In fact, we think that if any of you did not have to go to work tomorrow, that you'd fill your day with something else! - You'd be golfing.- You'd be shopping. - You'd be getting together with friends. In other words, you like the deliciousness of spending your time in purposeful ways. So it's not that you don't want to do something; it's that you want more choice about what you do. So what you're wanting to begin saying is, not "I want a business that will provide me the luxury of income even if I don't do anything." The bridge that you're wanting to say is,"I am wanting this business because I get to choose every part of my involvement in it. And, as I choose every part of my involvement in it, the money will flow to me, abundantly. "Can you feel sort of the difference in that? You see, all of your... Do you remember when we were talking about that vibrational baggage that you get with the word "money"? Well part of that vibrational baggage says, "There's no something for nothing." So when you start a business that says, "Well I can do a little bit. But eventually, there will be a lot of money for my little effort," there's a vibrational disconnect there. In other words, there's a vibrational part of you that says, "Well, even if it's possible, it's not right." In other words, there's a vibrational belief that's just in your way about that, you see. So as you put a different twist on this -- in other words, what comes to you is not about earning. It's about opening the valve and allowing. What comes to you is not about justifying, or excusing, or explaining. Most of you work so hard to justify the money that comes to you. And if you'd just chill out, the money would come much more easily, yousee! But you've got yourselves vibrationally convinced that you have to pay a price, that there has to be strain and struggle for there to be any payoff. And we say to you, that is utterly backwards. That only works in a world that is pounding on action. And action won't bring you, in Esther's terms: 'diddly squat'! Action will only provide for you a miniscule, mediocre experience. It is not your action that brings it to you. It's your vibrational Energy flow! So if, once and for all, you can give up this feeling that you must justify what comes to you, and say, "I get it because I flow." And when you are showing your business presentation to others, you say to them, "At first this looked like something for nothing, or something for not very much. And I've got to tell you, at first it appealed to me,because I like the idea of putting in a lot less time and reaping the same money or even more! I like the idea of getting together with friends and having a fun time, and all of us expanding together."But the more I'm in this thing, and the more I understand how the Laws of the Universe work, the more I realize that what makes this business work is that we have fun while we do it, we open our valve, and we use it as our excuse to let the natural abundance of the Universe flow to us. And I have found it easier to do it in this than in my other work,because my other work I've spent too many years working too hard."This is a new concept. You see what we're getting at?

GUEST: So, would it pay for me to spend some time with the people that I'm involved in business with, then, talking about how we're flowing our Energy? Or should I do it myself?

ABRAHAM: Yes. Do it yourself, first. Get your valve open! Because if your valve's not open, anything you say to them will be empty, hollow words, anyway. But here's what we would do: We would get together with those that are part of the business. We would talk about where it's going. We would talk about the personal satisfaction that is coming. We would talk about what is becoming, not what is. And, what happens to most of you is you think you have to validate for the newcomers what is coming for them by proving to them that it already came for you. And since it hasn't already come for you, in the way you want it to, then you send out missed signals. In other words, you're pretending that it's bigger than it is. You see what we're getting at? And so, in other words, you're talking a way that you don't feel, so you're sending out vibrations that don't ring true. Well, the way you're wanting to talk to those that you're gathering, you're wanting to say, "This is going to work for all of us. It's small now, but imagine where it can lead! The structure of it is solid," you say. "The product line is solid. We can feel the benefit of it as we are inter acting within it. And now, let's visualize, together, where this thing is going. What would it be like if each one of us had a hundred people like us that was actively involved? Let's run the numbers on that and see what that would be. If there were a hundred of us doing what I just did, what kind of numbers would that register, and what kind of profit would I have this month? And, more importantly, what would that profit do to me? How would that profit make me feel?" If I had an extra ten thousand dollars this month, what would I do with it? Well, I'd pay off some bills, and take some trips, and I'd lease a new car, and I'd..."In other words, get them flowing some Energy! Get them to talk about what this business enterprise will mean. Get them to talk about where it is going. Get them to blast open some doors! And as you help them blast open some doors, the abundance will come to them, sometimes through your business. Sometimes not. In other words, you might turn them in, tap them in, turn them on to the Energy, and they might go offand do something entirely different! Some of their heart felt dreams might come true for them. They might become abundant in a lot of ways other than through the vortex that you have assigned. But that's alright for you. Because what they do does not affect you. Only what you do, and the vortex that you open, affects you, you see. Mostly what goes wrong is that most of you, in the nature of business that you are offering, spend too much time belittling the other ways of life. In other words, "That old job?" you say. "That job [where] we're all working too hard? We're going to leave behind that job and we're going to do something else." So your valves are closed, and you're causing them to close their valves, while you're saying,"We'll do this, instead!"But you're all doing this, instead, with a closed valve -- a valve of blame, or a valve of discouragement, or a valve of disappointment, you see. Where if, instead, you say, "Hey,we're all doing alright! We're doing pretty good. We've managed to attract money to us. We've all opened some avenues to let our abundance flow.And this is just another avenue, that won't require very muchtime. But if we flow together and we're happy together, it's an avenue where money will flow without us having to give up the other things that we're doing. And so we can keep doing what we're doing, while we open these other avenues. And, in time, we may choose not to do that anymore. At least we'll have the option. We can go to what feels best, you see." You see what we're getting at?

GUEST: As what should be coming along the way, then?

ABRAHAM: What you're wanting to teach them, and what you're wanting to remember, yourself, is -- you're wanting to keep your valve open. And if you can keep your valve open, while you worry about what somebody's doing or not doing, you're a miracle. In other words, we've never met one who could do it.If you can keep your valve open while you're talking about getting rid of this job, you're an anomaly to the Law of Attraction as we know it to be. We've never met one, you see! So when, instead of following the techniques that others have tried -- and we tell you, millions have tried and millions have failed. Instead of trying these techniques that have been bantered about for centuries, if, instead, you will say,"I'm going to keep my valve open relative to this subject. Now what is it about this business that rings my bells?" And you just concentrate on keeping your valve open, you see...You may have heard it said, "It's not the words you speak. It's the music you're playing." When you're tuned in, tapped in, turned on, when you're feeling great, they gravitate to you. That's why your business grew faster in the beginning, before you knew so much. When you thought they'd all get in and go, your valve was open, and more of them got in and went. But when you started noticing not all of them wanted and not all of them went, and you started noticing that good numbers of them didn't go, and you started concentrating on that, your music stopped. You see what we're getting at? Most of all, lighten up and have fun!
