HOW TO BECOME ATTRACTIVE
How attractive are you to your clients and customers? Are you attracting all the people you want
to your business? How do you attract abundance in your life – in work, in friendships, in
relationships? One of the best ways to attract others is to become attractive yourself.
The late Thomas Leonard developed 28 Principles of Attraction that will help attract clients and
customers to you. Here are the 28 Principles, from Thomas Leonard’s book, The Portable Coach,
© 1998. How can you apply these in your life?
1.

Become Incredibly Selfish. Without You, there is nothing and attraction isn’t possible.

2.

Unhook Yourself from the Future. Attraction works in the present, not in the future.

3.

Over respond to Every Event. By over responding rather than overreacting, you evolve,
which is very attractive.

4.

Build a Super reserve in Every Area. Having enough is not nearly enough for You to
be irresistibly attractive.

5.

Add Value Just for the Joy of It. When you add value because you enjoy it, people are
naturally attracted to You.

6.

Affect Others Profoundly. The more you touch others, the more attractive you’ll
become.

7.

Market Your Talents Shamelessly. If you’re embarrassed about what you do, you
won’t be very attractive.

8.

Become Irresistibly Attractive to Yourself. How can you attract others if you don’t feel
irresistibly attracted to yourself?

9.

Get a Fulfilling Life, not just an Impressive Lifestyle. A great life is attractive; a
lifestyle is usually seductive.

10. Promise Little, Deliver Everything. When you consistently deliver more than was
expected, new customers are drawn to you.
11. Create a Vacuum that Pulls You Forward. Being pulled forward is attractive; pushing
yourself forward isn’t.
12. Eliminate Delay. Time is expensive; using too much is very unattractive.
13. Get Your Personal Needs Met, Once and for All. If you have unmet needs, you’ll
attract others in the same position.
14. Thrive on the Details. Subtleties, details, and nuances are more attractive than the
obvious.
15. Tolerate Nothing. When you put up with something, it costs you; unnecessary costs are
unattractive.
16. Show Others How to Please You. Don’t make them guess.
17. Endorse Your Worst Weakness. When you can accept and honour the worst part of
yourself, you’re more accepting of others.
18. Sensitize Yourself. The more you feel, the more you’ll notice and respond to the many
opportunities in the present.
