Before I read this book I was concerned I wouldn't get anything new from it as I am familiar with the subject matter. However, my concerns disappeared as I began to read. I felt an inner shift when I understood at an even deeper level that my ideal clients are looking for me and I don't have to worry about the rest, they will find their ideal spiritual empowerment coach as well. I surrendered a little bit more in trusting the universe and being fully authentic in my business while creating the business of my dreams. Thanks Jan and Alan.

Alan and Jan, thank you for this wonderful book! Many years ago I was introduced to your work as a vehicle to attract the perfect job for myself to stay in my beloved city, Austin. I remember the process of struggling through the steps of describing what I wanted in my employer, my work, and for myself. I remember writing the word, 'AUSTIN' repeatedly around the edges of the first page as a beacon of promise to find what turned out to be the PERFECT job for me that lasted seven years. Thank you. Reading BEE-ing Attraction 9 years later as the person I am today highlighted for me an elevated sense of purpose to your work. It was fresh, revitalized and sourced a whole new opening for business and relationship. Bravo! *****

What an amazing book, I just loved the way it approaches the whole idea about business and marketing. Starting for the concept of finding "What makes you tick" and "Developing a heart -Centered business" it takes you through the process of finding who you really are and the process of identifying what are the gifts that we all have and that make us unique and different to anyone else and therefore our businesses. Just changing this idea in your mind that you don't have any competitors because there is no one like you, that there are people waiting for you to share your gifts in a way that only you know how and that they are willing to pay you for it, opens your mind to a whole world of possibilities that will make a change at every level of your life that you want. It personally helped me to start my business in "Human coaching in Relationships and abundance" and this great concept has allowed me to support others in their own processes all around the world.

Thank you Jan and Allan for this great Work!!

This book is truly a guide for the new reality of business - one that is more creative, more in tune with our heart's desires, more balanced in bringing a more feminine energy into the business arena -- all of this and more is found on the pages of BEE-ing Attraction: What Love Has to Do with Business and marketing. I've been a student of the BEE-ing Attraction work since 2000 and have used the process for my work in the corporate arena (Fortune 100) as well as my own business since 2004. As a Master Strategic Attraction Coach, I have been amazed at how using the plan, both for my life and business, as well as my clients, has provided a framework to gain clarity quickly and susinctly, understand how what I truly want is vital to the power of the plan, and when I truly focus on what's perfect for me, the Universe lines up and so do the clients! A must have! Thanks Jan and Alan for the work that you do and for including my stories in this guidebook for the new business reality!

"Excellent gem of a book! I was a little skeptical with the title but this book has given me some excellent insights to the kind of customers our firm really wants to attract. Most of the time I skip exercises in books but this time I did them and recommend you do also for some very positive results. " We did the exercises with our management team of the firm to get clarity on who we want to attract in the future. It proved very powerful for our management team.

This book is so very special, so 'right on', so timely. It is so well written, interesting and I especially enjoy the layout with personal stories/experiences. I read a chapter every day and every chapter awakens more self knowledge. Full of 'nudges' that remind me of my own power and lessons on how to maximize the love for life. The chapter "The Art of Mastering Space" lead me to move my computer 3 feet and wow, the shift was there! And the chapter on "Why are you Attracting what you are Attracting" has been so important to me as I shifted through the events, associates and things I have attracted in the past and clearly see why I attracted "less than best" and how I will attract the events, associates and things I have desired and deserved. Thank you for your thoughtfulness, your insights and your wonderful Strategic Plan. This work is simply a true GIFT. Jeannine LaFontaine

What Does Love Have to Do With It -- Business, that is?
BEE-ing Attraction: What Love Has to Do With Business and Marketing

When my coaches, Jan Stringer and Alan Hickman of Perfect Customers, invited me to write a review of their book, BEE-ing Attraction: What Love Has to Do with Business and Marketing, I was thrilled to do it. I'm a professional, published reviewer after all. (My reviews regularly appear in ForeWord Magazine's review section, a trade journal serving book publishing and libraries.)

Putting the information from this "Guidebook for Developing a Heart-Centered Business and Life" into action places you into the heart of a process that works (like magic) for all manner of relationships. For those ready to step into, as client Doug Upchurch shares, "a different passion...[operating] from a different sense of ownership and power..." Bee-ing Attraction: What Love Has to Do with Business and Marketing is the perfect accompaniment.

With its success stories and practical guidance, plus detailed explanations of putting the plan to work, templates, samples, and inspiration for creating your own 4-part plan, this is a visionary and refreshing (woo-woo-free) approach to creating a heart-centered business that really fits.

Applying their 4-part plan, called a "BEE-ing Attraction Plan," I've taken a planning process that had been a traveling companion, and it has become an intimate friend. The varied stories in this book, shared through the voices of clients, create a level of specificity, spaciousness, and hope for all manner of sizes, shapes, and intents of plans -- whether around growing a business, renting a dream house, or connecting with a soul mate.


What Makes YOU Tick?

At the heart of their process, and Part 2 of the 4-part plan, is a deep-inner-connection process called, "What Makes You Tick?" The "tick" as it's called for short, is the ultimate foundation on which your relationships stand. It's what you bring to every encounter in your life, whether you know it or not. Its power grows from the idea that "like attracts like," so what makes you tick is also what makes your most perfect client tick.

Say the authors, "The Bee-ing Attraction Planning Process is about shifting paradigms. You must first become what you want to attract." This whole new paradigm is unfolding under the nose of the crumbling infrastructure of the old way of business as usual. In this all-new business model, collaboration and cooperation take the lead over competition. It's about bringing your heart to work and knowing that what Tim Sanders said is really true: Love really is the killer Ap. It's about Being, Presence, Attraction, and Manifestation in their highest and best incarnations.

For me, one of the most memorable take-aways, among many, "The qualities that impressed me in others were in reality resonating within me," reports one client. This is a ray of hope for me and so many people like me who have second guessed ourselves for ages!

For recovering perfectionists, you may wonder why your results don't look like the ones in the book. Yes, I did too. "What am I doing wrong?" you may, like me, be asking. When you are sitting on the aisle of a 737 jet at 35,000 feet, you don't realize you're moving at several hundred miles per hour. So too, in delving deeply into playing with this Strategic Attraction Plan, it helps to surround yourself with what Julia Cameron calls "believing mirrors." Only then will you realize the progress you are making. Far from sitting still, you may suddenly discover you are getting off the plane in another country, far from where you started.

That is the power of putting the 4-part Strategic Attraction plan to work for you. Simple. But not easy. The plan calls on its users to go deep and bring forth the answers to the questions with radical honesty. And in so doing, miracles and magic do happen.

What jumped out from the book was that attracting what I want is an inside joy.

My joy was stuck, stuffed and left behind somewhere.

The next step after reading the entire book and highlighting most of the great ideas, was to sign up for the 10 week Authorized Wizard Training.

Now I realize the book was an introductory peek at the golden nuggets within the training. I have found that the personalized walk through the BEE-ing Attraction Plan and the precious resources to key Attractive Action steps catapulted me from resigned and retired into my passion and resurrection of joy within.

Next, I use the 4 step plan and action steps to attract my perfect relationships in business and personal interactions daily.

That is the beginning of my review. I will return to add more later!
