Why even set an intention?
The trick with setting powerful intentions is to start with a clear picture of the final outcome making up a story of what you want to have happen. As an example an intention for 2009 could be to start your own business. In setting this intention imagine yourself in your own offices, speaking to clients on the phone or out having lunch with your 3 big clients that you have been working with for the last few months. Get a clear mental image and sense of what you want.
