Hustle! That’s what we like to do. Hustle hard. Everywhere you turn people are telling you to push and hustle harder to get what you want in business and while I agree that you have to work smart and strategically to grow your business, do you know what you are hustling hard to become?
I always was a spiritual being. I believe and still do believe that whatever I pray for will be mine and it usually is. Maybe not in the time I want it but that is another story. But I knew that once I closed my eyes and asked for what I wanted and could picture it I felt a renewed energy to go out and get it. Years ago I never knew what visualization was until I came across old episodes of Oprah interviewing Jim Carrey and Steve Harvey. Both men spoke about visualization and the use of a vision board.
I realised then that that was what set them (uber rich movie stars) apart from us (struggling to grow our business). Not that they had a better skill or knowledge than any of us but that they had a clear vision of what they wanted. Many entrepreneurs not so much.
IT IS AN ART
The art of visualization means clearing your head of clutter and really honing in on what you want your future to look and feel like. It means having a mental picture of who you will become, how much you will make and who you are going to help. It even means knowing when you want this to happen and how you want it to happen. Creating realistic, picture perfect images in your mind is a key component to tour success.
After you have created the vision, you have to believe in the vision and then get into massive action to make it happen. Along the way you may fail. In fact you will fail. The sooner you accept that the better. Failure is part of your journey. But your goal remains the same while your strategy may change.
Create a vision for your life, career, family or business. Decide when you want this vision to become a reality and then get into massive action to make it happen.
This is one of the exercises I conduct with my own clients and this simple exercise wakes up something inside them that they never knew was asleep. What you can see is what you believe and can achieve.
Have you ever done visualization for your life. If not, why not?
It is time to create a clear vision for your business and then see it come to life.
