Planning Ahead of Everyone Else to Win! Part 3
What does it take to plan like a champion? Read Part 2 for answers to Q’s 3 and 4
So, let’s take a look at why all these questions help you to determine what it is in life and how it will affect you forever…
Part 3
5) Do you visualize your plan being achieved?
Visualization is the fruit of success.
Do you ever find yourself visualizing yourself in that car you always wanted? Who visualizes you and your family on some beach in Mexico somewhere? Who visualizes you winning the “entrepreneur of the year award”? …. YOU DO!
In order to be happier and more successful, you need to get better, you need to get better. I repeat, you need to get better.
Visualization should be a daily event. Take a moment every day, even for 30 seconds and visualize all the sights, sounds, smells, and feelings of everything involved with your daily plans.
For example, let’s pretend that you have a presentation to do and like most people who have done a presentation, you are extremely nervous.
Take a moment about an hour before the presentation. Visualize yourself walking into the meeting feeling great, confident, and relaxed. Hear the people having a good time, see them smiling and paying attention to you. Try to smell a nice cologne within the room that makes you smile when taken in. Last but not least, see all the people around you congratulating you on a job well done after the presentation. See yourself having a nice, warm, rich tasting coffee while discussing your successful presentation with your boss, employees or even your potential clients.
I guarantee you that if you make it a habit to prepare yourself with visualization in that fashion before any presentation, you will have better, more vibrant feelings afterwards.
This very same technique applies for your goals. You must see yourself driving that car, the way the air feels in your hair, maybe the way the engine sounds. Whatever you can think of that will let your mind wander into your goals and dreams, use it!
6) How far ahead do you actually plan???
This is by far the most important. The most important only because it takes a little from all the above questions I’ve talked about.
What is the furthest you’ve ever planned ahead? I’ll put money on the fact that it’s not far enough. Dare to be bold, be strong in your convictions. Don’t be afraid to think outside the box.
So how far do I allow myself to plan ahead??? 200 Years!
No joke, my goals have included a timeline of around 231 years ahead in the future. See I don’t only think about how I want to improve my life; I concentrate on something higher than life. I concentrate on my family history that is yet to be written. We all would like to leave a family dynasty to our future family members. Well, why aren’t you planning ahead for it???
Don’t be shy, afraid, uncertain or embarrassed, just do it. Keep doing it within your note pad that you write in. Keep thinking about your children, their children, your great, great, great grandchildren to be.
Think about them. Wouldn’t it be nice if they could look back and say wow, my great, great, great grandfather had the vision, the dedication and the will to think of me? Think of the impact you could have on those to be. Even go as far as writing a letter to the individuals who will be in your family’s future. Tell them what you have planned and why.
What if what you do now, affects someone 4 generations down the line in such a positive way that they feel the need to pick up where you left off? If it wasn’t for your vision, it would have never happened.
Better yet, it hasn’t happened yet, so how about you pick up that pen and start your future right now, this very moment.
On that note, I won’t keep you from writing your future.
Good luck & remember to see everything happen the way you want it to happen!
