Michael Interview His Financial Planner, Uses Law of Attraction To Keep His Office the Busiest

Michael recently interviewed his Financial Planner, who is having a very positive experience in the industry. Ivor, a Financial Planner in Victoria, BC, Canada, has been using Law of Attraction successfully since being introduced to it when he met Michael in 2000. In an office of Financial Planners, is it Law of Attraction that keeps Ivor’s office the busiest?

Michael: Tell me about your introduction to Law of Attraction.

Ivor: I met you at an entrepreneurs’ meeting in 2000. You also came to my office to coach me and things developed from there. I then studied the book, repeatedly made contrast and clarity charts (and still do) and consequently developed myself to be a match vibrationally to things I want.

Michael: What is your career?

Ivor: I am in the financial business and work as a financial planner /investment advisor.

Michael: Tell me about how you use Law of Attraction in your business.

Ivor: I make contrast and clarity charts to identify the ideal type of client and business I want to run and use this as a template to guide myself towards my goals. By knowing my ideal client, I can identify who is a match or not a match. Obviously, I like to work only with matches. I practice to be positive at all times.

Michael: What are matches?

Ivor: They are like-minded people about finances and life, as the two are obviously integrated, and when our ideas and attitudes are similar it makes the relationship solid. Speaking of matches, of course they must have a positive vibe.

Michael: I heard that despite the turbulent financial conditions we constantly hear about, you are one of the busiest guys in your firm? What’s up?

Ivor: Just like the cliche about the lemons and lemonade… I look for positivity and opportunity in troubled situations, whether it is in my business or my life. Instead of harping about what is happening as it is out of our control, I position things in a positive view, as there is always something to recognize in this regard. I do different types of business that may be favorable in troubled financial times and I spend a lot of time in front of people to show them that we are focused on positive results.

Ivor’s 3 Tips to Turn a Negative Situation into a Positive one with Finances:

1. Tax loss selling. If you have a capital gain in any of the last three years, you can sell particular non-registered investments at a capital loss to offset the previous gains.
2. New purchases of investment: a deposit in almost anything right now is buying at a large discount as the marketplace is so depressed. The opportunity is that you are buying something on sale compared to what it would normally sell for.
3. Interest rates are quite low, so if you qualify to restructure your debt, you will be paying less interest on your debts and therefore saving your money.

Michael: Is the Law of Attraction the reason you are so busy with getting new clients?

Ivor: Absolutely! Clarity/ Contrast charts, defining ideal relationships, focusing on the results and willing/allowing things to happen is what I am doing daily. Putting out the vibe when I talk to people and perpetuation of my excitement through my experience has them reciprocate with their business or referral.

Michael: What do you do to protect your vibe when the media is full of negative information about the financial world?

Ivor: I focus on successful results and celebrate them. When someone is negative about the economy or their investments, I will immediately flip the conversation into a positive spin. I find little things to get excited about like how inexpensive gas is right now. The fact is that a lot of people really don’t pay attention to the economy or the news, so I realize that not everyone is so concerned. I love talking to these people! When there is a collective negative vibration, I will usually make a joke or change the conversation completely. I was talking to a colleague and he said he was frustrated about where the market is going and I immediately asked, ” Are you going to the Christmas party?!” I will acknowledge and use the information available to the degree it is useful to me and clients and nothing more.

Ivor’s 3 tips to settle your mind when it is racing about your finances:

1. Take solace in knowing that nobody wants to lose money or become unemployed. Governments, companies, and individuals will do what they can to be successful, even though it may take some time.
2. Talk to your advisors to mention concerns. Maybe things in your financial world need to be adjusted to consider your personal situation in relation to the current economic conditions.
3. Go for coffee, watch a game, take a walk… you get the idea!
