You don’t have to be a real super hero to have super powers – we’re all born with them, we just have to learn how to access them.

I think we all had a Super Hero poster or Barbie doll that we admired and dreamed of being. They had something special that we didn’t see ourselves as having.

When I was a kid, I had a poster of Wonder Woman (rather, Linda Carter dressed as Wonder Woman) hanging in my bedroom. I so wanted to be her and have those magical powers to make wonderful things happen. 

Who was your Super Hero?

Now that I’m all grown up, I am business owner and it was that journey that led me to discover my hidden ‘super hero’ power and I’m happy to share it with you!

This super power is free and the great news is that you actually already own it. Now, I use the term “own it” loosely because many of you aren’t really “owning it” just yet.

This super hero power is called “intention setting.”

Intention setting – as I do it – is a 3-step process that I designed during the so-called failing economy to keep me positive, motivated and inspired to do better rather than accept the fate others were so quick to warn me about.

All 3 steps are crucial and must be implemented consistently to see the magic take place in your business. Here are the steps:

Super Powers Activate!

Step 1: Know exactly what you want.

If you don’t know where you are going any road can take you there ~Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

How do you suppose you’ll ever find your way if you don’t know where you want to be? Likewise, how will you know when you are successful if you haven’t yet defined what successful means to you?

How do you define it?

Stop and think for a minute (or as long as it takes) and ask yourself the following questions.

Where do I want to be six months from now? (think circumstances, income, relationships, etc) 

What do I want to see appear in my life over the next six months? (people, places, circumstances, etc)

What will becoming more successful look like? (use your view and the view you think others will see)

What will becoming more successful feel like to me?

Set an intention that will force you to step out of your comfort zone but is still realistic – if you feel it’s completely ridiculous, you won’t stay on track.

Step 2: Write it down.

Now write down every thought that just appeared in your mind.  Be specific and handwrite it out on paper. Something magical appears when you put pen to paper the good old fashioned way. 

Here’s the latest entry from my success journal:

“I am going to have a delightful day. I will make $2,000 in profits today and book 3 clients who I haven’t seen in 6 months. Time frame for the bookings is 14 days.  I love the universal law of attraction.”

The day I wrote this down I was not booked at the spa so it was a bit of a stretch to ask for this… but it did happen.  I did $2,100 that day and 2 of the 3 “come back to me” clients appeared on my book. Several more clients that I have not seen in quite some time have since reappeared. Oh yeah… super powers!

Step 3: Believe you deserve it.

What really activates this super hero power? It is YOUR MIND. You MUST believe you deserve whatever it is you want in your life.

How do you start to believe if you aren’t sure you do or are fairly certain that you don’t?

Well, ask your self this question, “Why not me?” Write down your answer and then dispute that.

The most splendid achievement of all is the constant striving to surpass yourself and to be worthy of your own approval. ~Denis Waitley

One important note on all this… You do have to take inspired action once you know what it is you want. Getting clear, writing it down and saying it out loud are all ways to move you faster toward the life you want but they can’t make things fall through your roof and into your lap. You have to get going and let the Intention Super Hero Power fuel you along the way. I will cover just how to incorporate “inspired action” in an upcoming blog so stay tuned.

I can’t wait to hear what happens for you when you ignite your Intention Super Hero Power… please share in the comments below.
