The following business story was created by the Coastside BNI chapter. It was part of a 10 minute presentation on the power of storytelling as a tool for aligning the energy of thought with desire. I have posted it at the group's request.

The words in blue were contributed by the members, using the criteria of the best feeling word they could find to fill in the sentence. These may or may not be powerful positive words for the reader. If not, simply substitute the words in blue for your own. Again, the only criteria is substitute the best feeling word to you.

MY BUSINESS

I am appreciative to understand the role thought and emotion play in the success of my business.

I feel excited that with a little practice I can deliberately focus my thoughts.

I enjoy the freedom that being in business for myself offers.

I am pleased to be part of a group that is committed to helping each other succeed

I love working with clients who are enthusiastic, loyal, responsive and grateful.

I feel hopeful when I think that focusing my thoughts on the kinds of clients I like draw them to me.

I see myself moving through the many different tasks I do each day feeling excited, terrific.

When challenges come up, I see myself handling them with confidence, ease, flexibility and optimism

I can feel how terrific, how wonderful it will be to experience the financial success of my business.

It's going to be exciting watching my business begin to match my new story.

If you would like more background information on the power of storytelling, please refer to my previous posting.
