Management gurus have taught us the power of visualization - seeing yourself in your mind as having accomplished your dreams. If you want to be a successful writer, envision yourself signing books for a throng of people who have lined up to have your autograph. If you want to be rich, picture yourself in luxurious surroundings holding a fat bank account. And the process of envisioning success for you should be a constant activity! You need to think that you are successful (or will be one) every single waking hour. A personal development coach shared me her secret to help her continuously visualize her goals for the moment: when climbing stairs, recite your goal with every step you take. So if you want more money, say "I will have money" in every step of the stairs. This technique will reinforce your goal and keep it fresh in your consciousness.

I am still on that curve btw... Also, one thing is what potential clients say they need or will do (in case your solution is offered to them) while you are in the consulting stage of pre-opening your org/company/initiative and another thing is what they will do once you deliver as you said... i know it sounds somewhat not realistic but this is what I am facing currently as well.. Thanks again for the great post! cheers, Hayk Hi Neil,

I am doing the first suggestion right now (or I wouldn't be here). I read your post and read it again trying to come up with something that I'm currently not doing. I couldn't. All are top notch suggestions and the only additional one I could suggest would be to never quit; always keep your eyen on the prize and stay focused (which would probably be #5). I personally think #5 and #6 are the most important of them all. Thanks again and I'll be back! :) Thanks Neil. I am doing the first suggestion right now (or I wouldn’t be here).

This is a factual and post. I can relate on what you say that "stop deviating". You are right, aside from troubles that we face everyday, there are also many opportunities that come in our way. Some of them are thought to be positive, but the fact is that they are really distractions that we must resist. Hi Neil. This is a factual and post.
