Intention is a word we hear a lot, but what does it actually look like in action? In “The Power of Intention”, Wayne Dyer teaches us that intention is a powerful force we all have access to, and reveals how to use the concept to actively participate in the act of creating the lives. For Liz Wendling, this book resonates because it made her change the way she looks at everything, and the decisions she makes minute-by-minute.
How do we make intention something that’s a part of our daily rituals and interactions? In this episode, we talk about how to use intention to make a positive impact on the world around us.
Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode
The true definition of intention Intention is a powerful force with a lot of momentum behind it if we know how to implement it in our daily lives. It allows us to actively get involved in the way we want to create something for ourselves through discipline, wisdom, love and surrender.
Fire your brain, hire your heart Even for the most disciplined individual, white-knuckling alone won’t get us to where we’re trying to go. Wisdom is the GPS that steers us in the right direction, and the more we honor and surrender to it, the more intentionally we can lead our lives.
Setting an intention for all our interactions One thing we need to be aware of as introverts moving through the world, is that we need to set the intention to leave a positive impression on people. It’s easy to come off as closed off and guarded even though we don’t intend to be that way. Leaving everyone we talk to with a positive impression is easily doable if we’re intentional about it.

"Psycho-Cybernetics" is one of my personal favorite books, and when I first read it, the underlying idea hit me like a ton of bricks and made a huge impact on my mindset. What if we thought of our subconscious as our own success mechanism?

From an author’s perspective, there’s no greater achievement than having your ideas become so deeply ingrained and absorbed that people unconsciously implement them. If there are two books that have rightfully earned that status, it would be “The 22 Immutable Laws of Marketing” by Ries and Trout and “Crossing the Chasm” by Geoffrey Moore. These books have made a life changing impact on a marketer I really respect, Christopher Lochhead, so much so that he believes any card-carrying marketer can’t consider themselves one without reading them.
Daniel Mangena stumbled upon his own success code while trying not to fail at ending his own life, and he has Eckhart Tolle’s "The Power of Now" to thank for it. Dark, but within it, we can learn just how naturally powerful human beings are at changing our own internal programming. It doesn’t matter what we say we want, what matters is what we desire at our deepest unconscious level. What happens when what we want to achieve isn’t in alignment with that internal programming? How do we get our unconscious minds on the side of our desires?
We don’t get a lot of people on this show who come across a new book that massively impacted them right away, and changed how they’ll do business for the rest of their life.
