Imagine Your Ideal Entrepreneurial Success

pix car Imagine Your Ideal Entrepreneurial Success

Success starts in my mind.  Until you see yourself as successful, you may have a temporary flash but you will never achieve long term results.

Compare your entrepreneurial success to weight loss.  Most of us can relate to that yo-yo battle.  If you see yourself with double or triple chins, excess hanging over your belt, or having to shop in the “plus size” section, you will have an uphill battle to lose weight.  You may go on a great diet and lose a few pounds, but unless you change your mental image of yourself, you will gain it all back and more.

Form a mental image of yourself as successful.  Know exactly how success will look to you.  Does it mean a specific car, a certain size home in a specific neighborhood, a minimum amount of money in your retirement account, the ability for your children to attend any university they choose, travel or the freedom to give generously to your church or charity?  Know exactly how success will look to you.  Unless your target is crystal clear in my mind, how can you possibly know when you achieve it?

Write a detailed description of your ideal day, ideal week and ideal month.  When you clarify in your mind the long term activities of entrepreneurial success and the ideal results of those activities, your target gains focus.

Would you go for a walk alone in unfamiliar woods without a trail to follow, a map, a compass or a specific destination?  That is a clear recipe for getting lost.  Even if your cell phone might work in the forest, which it probably will not capture a signal; you would not have any idea how to tell the rescue party where to locate you.  Expecting entrepreneurial success without a clear image in your mind of exactly what the desired outcome looks like is a train wreck waiting to happen.

The principles are universal.  Decide exactly what success looks like to you.  Picture it clearly in your mind in living color.  Invoke all 5 senses in your image.  Repeat the image frequently, especially the first thing in the morning and the last thing before going to sleep at night.  Your subconscious mind is most easily programmed just emerging from an alpha state (sleep) or entering an alpha state.

Just as the directions on the shampoo bottle, perform and repeat.  Repeating your image of entrepreneurial success over and over in my mind reinforces the goal and keeps you focused.
