Default Does LOA have its limitations

Hi,
I´ve posted on this forum before about wanting to increase the turnover in our internet cafe to 1700€ a week from about 1350 - 1400€ a week. One nagging doubt that keeps cropping up in my mind is, what if the actual business just cannot supply us with 1700€ a week turnover.
So my question is does the LOA have any limitations to what it can achieve or can you simply wish for the moon?
Regards
Nigel

One of the fundamentals of any LoA process is based on one's view of reality. Is the world one of abundance or limitation?

It's not an easy mind-set to counter if one was brought up with the world being a place of limited resources, money, business and so forth. I was brought up like that and struggle with it pretty much every day.

In my view, LoA is the starting point, a means to a desired end. Visualization, expectation, belief and desire are all part of it, but they are only part. One will have to put the work and effort into achieving your desired state, whether that state is one of increased business, a more fulfilling relationship, material goods or anything else.

From what I understand and have read and gleaned from these forums (fora?), success is achievable without LoA, but it's easier with it because it tends to keep one focused on the goal.

Theoretically? It depends, there's two theories about this.

1. The subjective reality version. You can do ANYTHING. Even fly and stuff that's in the bible.
2. Law of Attraction is just ONE of the laws of the universe and the law of gravity holds as well. Doesn't mean you can't fly, but you do need aids and have to work within the framework of the universe as it is.

But, I think your question can be more readily answered here:
Believing is Seeing | Inspired Money Maker - How To Make Money Doing What You Love

I love Paul's blog, he's very insightful in the processes of thinking. I also suggest reading "The Mental VIrus that is keeping you broke" Super good article that one.

Now here's the thing, does the 1700 HAVE to come from the actual business of cafe-ness? My point is that you could possibly do other stuff (like sell software, or repair computers or create a real cafe, with a kitchen and people can order food and stuff) ot make the 1700 or more? Do you have at least one high margin (above 50%) item in your cafe? Whether your margin is over 50% for computer rentals or something else, you prolly want at least one high margin thing. But then we're getting into business strategy.

Hi, Nigel!

A simple answer to your question would be that, technically, the LoA does not have limitations to it.

However, from the way you phrased your question, it seems to me that you are building limitations into your manifesting. (This is very common and something I work all the time to overcome myself.) For instance, from your post why limit yourself to 1700? What if the LoA wanted to provide you with 2500? Or 25 million? Or maybe the LoA might want to fulfill your intention for success (or abundance or whatever it is you're manifesting) by providing you with someone who wants to buy your cafe? Or a great opportunity to relocte your cafe so that it can provide for you? Can you see that there are different ways to get to a similar feeling of success/abundance/whathaveyou that are suggested by your original post?

Focusing on your turnover figure also has some side-effects built into. For instance, do you want to achieve your turnover goal by working twice as hard (or more) as you do now? Or what if, by achieving your 1700 figure, the cafe incurs such expenses (marketing, for example) that the cafe goes from making money to unprofitable?

May I suggest you focus on how you see your business running when it's successful? Visualize making those daily deposits and watch your bank accounts grow. See yourself easily paying your suppliers on time and in full (if that's what you want). Imagine the cafe full of happy customers and/or the happy, well-paid, competent staff you're able to pay and/or the vacation you're able to take....

It's tempting to pick a specific euro figure when I-Ming prosperity, because it helps us measure but sometimes that desire for measurement gets in our way of our real goals.

I hope this helps.

Hi Wellbeing,
Thanks for that, that makes a lot of sense to me. I have spent a lifetime being negative and even now when I am trying to be the most positive I can, I can see that I am still giving myself limitations.
Thanks for the advice, and to RT Wolfe and cdn2Wheeler too.
Many thanks
