Create Your Own Future With Visualization

The mind is amazingly powerful. We can attract anything we desire by using creative visualization. This is a mental technique that we can use to make our dreams come true. By using this power in the right way, we can change our circumstances for the better. We can attract certain events, love, money, people, a house or indeed anything else we may want. Even though it appears to be magic, it is in fact just a natural law of attraction due to the power of thoughts.

This is how it works. If a thought is powerful enough and repeated often, it is accepted by our sub-conscious mind. This in turn changes our mindset as well as our beliefs and actions. We then attract the situations, people and circumstances that we have visualized. We actually visualize all the time. The trouble is, we do not always use this amazing technique for our benefit. Instead of focusing on what we want, we tend to see our problems, failures and frustrations. We have negative pictures in our mind and therefore attract the very things we don’t want. Bad things and events are attracted as well as the good. But, successful people use it to attract all the things they want in their life. They do this by repeatedly visualizing their goals as though they have already been accomplished.

Six Degrees Away From a Job Referral

Do you know you are possibly, “six degrees” away from your next interview? “Six degrees of separation,” also known simply as networking, was tested on a news program. A man from overseas got in contact with a total stranger in the U.S. He accomplished this by contacting six people, who set up a meeting with this person he never met. He contacted the first person, who then new someone, who then new another….you get the point.

Lucky for you, your task is a little easier since you have more data to provide your new contacts. For example:

1. You know the company you are looking to join and the job title you can reference.
2. You know the city it is located in.
3. You probably know at least 250 people you can contact as your “first degree.”
4. You can contact folks via email, in-person or over the phone.
5. You can join local organizations to network business owners.
6. You can use social networking sites like LinkedIn.

Mind Storm Your Way to a New Career

By Ben Rivera

I first heard about Mind Storming from Brian Tracy. It is kind of like brainstorming, but without a small team of people. With Mind Storming, it’s all about you working toward your goals. Most people use this technique to set and attain their personal goals. But you can also apply it to your job search or use it in your current career move ahead in your position, get promoted or get a better job. It’s a simple, yet powerful, tool that can put you in “the zone” and help you gain momentum in your job search. Here’s how it works. First, you must make a clear goal. Brian Tracy says goals should be “clear, specific, time bound and measurable.” Once you have your goal, write it in the form of a question. For example, “I want to get hired in the security field in the next three months.” Would then be, “How can I get hired in the security field in the next three months?” Now you have 20 very important answers to complete. Your job is to write 20 answers to your new goal question. Usually, most goal setters come up with the first 5-10 ideas pretty quick. From that point the final 11-20 gets more and more difficult. But you must finish. Mind Storming gets you thinking, keeps you moving toward your goal and helps you stay positive in your job search.

5 Top Tips on How to Set Goals

Setting Goals for yourself and your business are important for any entrepreneur wanting massive success. Here are my top five tips for effective goals setting that have assisted me in my business.

1. Get clear on what you truly desire.

The most important aspect of goal setting is to have goals that you truly want to achieve. Your goals must be something really motivates you. It is not just enough to simply want something; you have to truly desire it. When you truly desire something, it makes it much easier to achieve the goal as you are more likely to stay motivated and focused on achieving the goal.

If you are new to goal setting, it may take time to get clear on what it is exactly that you desire in your life. For example, you may set a goal and after a week or two realise that you are not as passionate about it as you once thought. So the key is to find out what you are truly passionate about and go after it.

2. Have a plan of how you are going to achieve your goals

Once you are clear on your goals, it is essential to create a plan of how you are going to actually achieve your goals and by when you want your goals to be achieved. This will help to create a sense of urgency for you.

For each goal, you should create a number of actions that you need to complete. They could be daily, weekly or monthly actions that you need to undertake. This creates momentum and focus to achieve your goals.

To Achieve Your Dream, You Must ACT!

Discomfort comes from resisting the growth needed to become the person you need to be, to get the results you want. In addition, you will not be able to get better results in your practice-or your life-by being the same old person. To reach new levels of success, you will have to grow. That is and will always be the biggest challenge to moving forward. I believe to achieve your dream you must ACT. Any day we wish; we can discipline ourselves to be successful. Any day we wish, we can open the book that will open our mind to new knowledge. Any day we wish, we can discover an effective approach on making conscious decisions, those that will lead us toward getting what we want out of life. Any day we wish, we can start the process of life change.

We can do it immediately, or next week, or next month, or next year. We can also do nothing because we feel that we cannot afford to take the steps necessary to shift limiting beliefs and create abundance. We can pretend rather than perform. Moreover, if the idea of having to change ourselves through our core values makes us uncomfortable, we can remain as we are. We can choose disbelieve over trust. We can choose rest over labor, delusion over truth, and doubt over confidence. The choices are ours to make. However, while we curse the effect, we continue to nourish the cause. As Shakespeare uniquely observed, “The fault is not in the stars, but in ourselves.” We have the ability to act and the responsibility to make better choices to achieve our dream beginning today. Do you have a different perspective?
