The Fine Line Between 'Chasing Your Dream' and 'Letting it Happen'

This is something I have been thinking about for a while...
Looking at this from the aspect of promoting your business. Is it best to to put adverts out everywhere, everyday, to attract people to your business, or is it best to rely on the Laws of Attraction and just put the thought & feeling out to the Universe and just wait for it to happen.
It a very hard line to draw, because on one hand we are advised to take action and persevere with our desires full on, and never let our focus on what we want slip. Then on the other hand, we are advised to 'Just Be'  and 'Let It Happen' by putting our intent and desire out to the Universe, then forgetting about it and it will 'just happen'.
It intersting to look back over your life and see the things that have 'just happened' after just thinking (& feeling) about them. For instance, a long time ago, in fact so long ago it seems almost like it was in a different lifetime! I was on the waiting list for a council house and me and my mum where driving around some semi rural area's looking at the houses, and we stopped out side one particular house that had gardens front & back and was blessed with an amazing view. I can remember saying to my mum, "can you imagine if we got offered that house" and then I thought no more of it, as I was not at the top of the council waiting list, so I had no chance. A week later I got a phone call from the housing department saying " We have made a mistake on the housing list, you have been given and extra six points which puts you at the top of the list, and we would like to offer you ** Fer****a Road, would you be interested?" OMG... That was THE house that I had sat outside the week before, saying Just imagine.....    So in this instance, although I knew nothing of about the law of attraction then, but by putting out the thought, and then not adding any resistance to that thought, the Universe brought it to me. When I say 'not adding any resistance, I mean that I didnt try and work out a way to get the house, I didnt do ANYTHING, and I got my desire.   Now I can think of lots of instances where this has happend.
But when it comes to promoting our businesses, and we are wanting recruiting new people to it, we find ourselves working really hard to pursue those people, spending lots of money on advertising, leaflet dropping, blasting people with zillions of promotional emails, putting adverts here there and everywhere.  Sometimes to the point where people may avoid us because that is all we talk about. I dont mean that goes for all of us of course, but its definitely the case for some.  I am wondering, when does it change from 'promotion of your business' to 'Chasing it so hard you chase it away'  ~ Just like the butterfly story, if you chase it you will never catch it, it will continually fly away from you, but if you wait patiently the butterfly is likely to come and land on you. But if you are running a business, you can't just sit back and wait for it to happen, you gotta make it happen.
So taking all this consideration, somewhere in between Action, Determination, Persistence, Cosmic Ordering & Just BEing there must be a very very fine line.
Do you have a a view point on this subject?
Have an amazing day peeps
