Paying Attention, The Law of Attraction, Being Successful and how it Relates to Bloggers
Alternative Title: Paul Potts and My Celebrity Blog
In a previous post I mentioned: The Secret and The Not So Secret Law of Attraction
This is a sort of Follow Up post to that. [and a longer than average post - but I do get to the MAIN POINT eventually 
]
For a long time now - indeed, for as long as I can remember, I would say that I have felt “guided”, that somehow, I do end up in the right place at the right time, with the right idea. In recent years, especially as I have got more into personal development I have come to express this as “What you focus on, is what you get”
You see, I have never been strongly motivated by GOAL SETTING for example but I have always been pretty focused on the things I wanted in life. As a very young boy (around 8yrs old) I can clearly remember wanting to be dept free and financially independent and it is that focus which I’m sure assisted me in making some very good business decisions - decisions that have led to financial independence.
Any way, to get back on track, I mentioned in my original Law Of Attraction post that I was some what frustrated at all the publicity that the DVD “The Secret” was getting. Not because it was a bad DVD (I enjoyed it) but because it for me, overly simplified the strategy for getting what you wanted in life. (and in my opinion, could be misleading for some)
I mentioned that THINKING alone, rarely if ever makes anything happen. I mentioned that great book THINK AND GROW RICH and how it may have been more accurately Titled Think, Take Action and Grow Rich
Today, I would like to revise that further and say:
Think, Pay Attention, Take Action and Grow Rich
Now please bear with me….. (this is a longer than average post)
As some of you may know, one of my business ventures Midascode Ltd is involved in the Buying and Selling of Websites
One of the websites we bought last October was VipGlamour.net which is a Celebrity Blog
At the time of buying the site, it was averaging around 2464 visitors per week and I mentally set myself a target that it would be good to get weekly visitors up to in excess of 75000 visitors and then perhaps consider selling the website (flipping the website)
By April of this year, we were averaging 59985 visitors per week but in May it had come down to an average of 48682 visitors per week. Now I was not worried, but I was a little frustrated.
You see, I do not normally post on VipGlamour.net. To be frank, Brittany and Paris and all their late night activities didn’t interest me that much - so I left most of the posts in the hands of a very useful team of Volunteer Bloggers that we have. (Up until what I am just about to tell you, I had only done two posts before)
Anyway, last Monday Morning, (11th June) I was on YouTube, just briefly looking at what was “hot” when I spotted a Video of a brilliant young Welshman called Paul Potts. Paul is an Amateur Opera Singer and a Mobile Phone Salesman and he had just appeared on the UK TV Show: Britain’s Got Talent
I will never be able to explain why, but Paul Potts caught my attention big time and for some reason I just “thought” this is a FUTURE CELEBRITY and perhaps this video would be worthy of a post at VIPGlamour.net
Now if I had thought about this much longer, I may have thought making a post about Paul Potts really did not make sense, after all, where would he fit in with an audience that normally wants info on Kate Moss, Paris Hilton and Brittany Spears?
I will admit, I did think twice about making the post, but something TOLD me GO AHEAD and make that post, which I did. You can see it at:
Paul Potts, Future Celebrity Opera Star Found in Britains Got Talent TV Show
and another follow-up post at: Paul Potts Interview
Now if you have not heard of Paul Potts yet, then I think there is a very good chance you will soon. To say Paul Potts was HOT online last week, would be an understatement.
In the end, featuring Paul Potts last week at VIP Glamour gave us our best week for visitors ever, with 90616 UNIQUE visitors in the week and currently 202 comments made in response to my original post. Any of you Professional Bloggers out there will appreciate just how big a response 202 comments is - something that usually only the very TOP BLOGGERS can expect to get.
To further add to this remarkable story. Last night, Paul Potts won the Final of Britain’s Got Talent.
Now, my question for you and for MYSELF is “What is I had not been paying attention to that Inner Voice” and perhaps more importantly what if I had decided to not listen to it and take action?
For sure, we would not have had that RECORD BREAKING week at VIPGLAMOUR.net last week.
So to repeat - for me the Law of Attraction is not just about “Thinking and Attracting” - it is about:
Thinking, Paying Attention, Taking Action and Growing Rich
Another remarkable thing is that I heard Paul Potts (the subject of my original post) say in an interview that he was not even sure he wanted to enter Britain’s Got Talent - as he had more or less gave up on his music career. Now that is almost Scary - because Paul has the most amazing talent and ability to connect with the general public with his singing and I can only think how much poorer the lives on many people would be today if Paul had not “PAID ATTENTION” to his inner voice and entered Britain’s Got Talent.
So I have a question for all of us;
What great TALENT has laid un-discovered just because we did not PAY ATTENTION to our inner voice.
I am Amazed that we came so close to not discovering Paul Potts Talent and I am somewhat embarrassed (in a good way) that as knowledgeable as I am about the LAW OF ATTRACTION I could just so easily not be relating this story today.
