Live the Dream! How to Turn Your Visions into Wealth

First, build it in your mind. What are your dreams? What are your goals? What would you like to see in your life? If you visualize them, they will come. A good way to start visualizing your dreams is to put something together like a vision board.
Vision Boards are something you can create to give yourself something that will help you visualize your dreams. The most common types of vision boards are created on a poster board and look a bit like a collage. Usually people will tear out pictures from magazines or photographs, use personal memorabilia or inspirational quotes, and attach them with glue or tape to a poster. But Vision Boards are not limited to this, you can also create a painting, utilize different media, mediums, and all types of art and crafts. Vision boards come in all forms and you can design and create them however you like. They can also be put together with anything ranging from paper to a creation that fills a wall, or even mobile versions on an iPhone.

The theory behind a vision board is that your life will transform to align with those goals and desires you have envisioned and expressed on your board. You will find yourself making decisions or observations that are congruent with the situations and scenarios you create on your vision board.

A Vision Board generally includes visual images, affirmations, inspirational words and quotes that remind you or represent what you want to see and achieve in your life.

What can you create a vision board for? Anything! Here are some examples:

*Overall Life Vision Board
*2010 Vision Board
*New Year's Resolution Vision Board
*Health and Fitness Vision Board
*New Business Vision Board
*Career Vision Board
*Prosperity Vision Board
*Gratitude Board
*Relationship Vision Board
*Love Vision Board

*Travel Vision Board
*Vacation Board
*Birthday Vision Board
*Marriage Vision Board
*Wedding Vision Board
*Holiday Board

Luckily at any moment you can choose to start creating your circumstances instead of letting them create you. No, you can't change things like the kids you have or the color of your (natural) hair. What you can change is the way you think about those things. When you take your focus away from things you find displeasing, guess what, they go away. It's true.

Think about something like traffic or anything that consistently bothers you. You're in bumper to bumper traffic, you keep switching lanes right before the lane you were in starts moving. You're late, getting cut off, and stuck by every red light. It's frustrating because you want to get where you're going fast and you don't want anything or anybody in your way. Next time you're in this situation, or experiencing something displeasing, put your focus into finding ways to enjoy it. You may find it easier to start off trying to think of ways to simply to not hate it. Well what if you convinced yourself your journey is just as good as your destination? What if you decided that the red lights, the traffic, and the time were all in your favor? It gives you an opportunity to look around, to have time to take it slow and relax. Listen to music, talk radio, whatever feels good.

Once you start looking for ways to enjoy your circumstances, it becomes easier to find more and more things to enjoy. Positive perspectives are like a domino effect. When you look at one aspect of your life from a better angle, it's easier to look at another aspect from a better angle, and so on. Positive thoughts create more positive thoughts. When you remove negative thoughts, one by one, they become smaller and rarer.

A positive mindset is essential to your success. Make a commitment to yourself to find new perspectives in your daily life that make you feel good. You've got nothing to lose but limiting thoughts and frustration.

Whether you take an active or a passive role in the creation of your life, you're creating it. Setting goals for things that you want but do not yet see in your life is a great way to hold yourself accountable. When you set a goal, you must make it clear and precise. If you can't figure out what you want and the steps you need to take you get you there, who will?

It is a good idea to write down your goal on a piece of paper. Once you have written down the goal, list the steps you are going to take to make it happen. Once you have listed the steps, write down exactly how you are going to make those steps. Here's an example:

Goal: Increase personal profits by $100,000 in 90 days

Step 1: Get a Business Coach
a) Understand my needs and what I am looking for in a coach
b) Research business coaching firms online
c) Talk to friends or colleagues about their coach

Step 2: Obtain more capital funding to pursue new opportunities
a) Put together a business plan
b) Schedule meetings for a loan with banks
c) Talk to private lenders about my plan and how they can help

Step 3: Put together a dream team
a) Attend business networking events
b) Call friends or business partners
c) Schedule meetings with people I would like on my team

Step 4: Focus!
a) Spend an hour each morning before I start my day being quiet and open to inspiration
b) Stay away from negative thoughts and negative people that can prohibit the realization of my goal
c) Remain open and pursue opportunities that cross your path

Following this method to achieve your desires is a great start. Ultimately, however, your success depends on you. Set your goals high, hold yourself accountable, and make it happen! Remember: tough times don't last, tough people do.

Here is a story that illustrates how powerful your thoughts are. Whatever it is that you are pursuing, pursue with absolute focus on what you want, and you will get it. If you focus on fears and limitations, you will get those too.

The Story of the Wish-Fulfilling Tree
How to Guard the Self-Sabotaging Mind

In a small village far away from anywhere and with no access road to the nearest town lived a poor Farmer. He had nobody. No family to help him farm. He was all alone.

In the heat of a scorching summer's day he had to go to town to buy seeds for his next crop. He had to walk there while the sun beat down on the parched earth and on him. It was hot.

Half way to town the Farmer saw a beautiful Tree with long and strong branches, still filled with green luscious leaves. Under the Tree at the base of the trunk it was cool and the shade defiantly challenged the scorching Sun. He decided to rest there for awhile.

As he was dozing off in the cool of the shade resting under the Tree he thought if he would have a cold glass of water it would be great. He did not realize that he was sitting under a Wish-Fulfilling Tree. Before you know it, he saw a very cold and refreshing glass of water before him. He quenched his thirst and wished if only he could have some sweets and some food. Lo and behold he saw a banquet before him.

After having had the meal of his life he wished, if only he would have a bed to take a nap. He was lying on a most comfortable bed before he could even speak his thought out completely. He immediately thought if only he had a house to sleep in on this comfortable bed and the house was there before you know it.

The fulfillment of one wish led to larger and larger wishes. Before you know it, he had wanted the most beautiful woman for a wife and had plenty of children to help him with the farm, and there he was surrounded by family and wealth.

When he saw what he got just by wishing, he got a little worried. No as a matter of fact he got a lot worried. He thought, "What will happen if now a ferocious man-eating tiger comes out of the jungle and eats me up?"

A ferocious man-eating tiger appeared and ate him up. He was still sitting under the Wish-Fulfilling Tree.

-From Tulshi Sen, Ancient Secrets of Success for Today's World (Toronto: Omnilux Communications, 2006), 65-67

Your brain is unable to distinguish between an action performed and the same action visualized. Edmund Jacobson, M.D discovered this in the 1930's. Dr. Jacob conducted an experiment in which he asked his subjects to visualize a physical action, and he found very subtle muscle movements that where the same movements the muscle would make when actually performing the activity.

Scientists have also discovered that when measuring the electrical output of a person's brain using a CAT scan while that person is looking at a specific object, and then measuring the output again while they are imagining the same object, the areas of the brain that activated are identical. In both cases, closing your eyes and visualizing the object, as well as opening your eyes and looking at it, produces the same patterns in your brain. That means that as far as your brain can differentiate, there is no difference between visualization and the actualization of something. It is true however, that the fact that we have the ability to discuss that there is a concrete difference between what is "visualized" and what is "real" suggests that our brain does in fact know. However, it lacks the ability to represent this difference, which is extremely powerful as far as our emotions are concerned.

There is an old tale that back when Columbus sailed the ocean blue, the American Indians did not see his boat approaching. The current occupants of the island definitely noticed some unexplainable waves and ripples pushing onto shore, but could not process the image of the ship sailing in the distance. Our brain matches patterns and makes associates in order for us to process and make sense of things our eyes see. Even though the ship was at the horizon, in plain sight, the Indians had no knowledge of such structures, so their brains could not process the images that were right there in front of their eyes!

Imagine the successes you want and deserve! If you don't use your imagination and think outside the box, someone will beat you to it. Imagine, in the most intricate detail, what you want to be doing in your life. Whether you want to imagine yourself walking on to your private plane, and you want to imagine what it looks like and where you are going and who you are with, or you want to imagine the company of your dreams, running smoothly and successfully, by you, DO IT, NOW! This exercise should not only fill with excitement and joy, but it will bring you closer to the realization of your dreams as well. Aim high and you will succeed beyond your wildest expectations

Incentives- Presenting the visitors at your site incentives to make purchases on the homepage is the best way to make fast conversions. Discounts for first time buyers or complimentary shipping for certain order sizes is a good start. Visitors are typically fairly compliant with providing valuable information for your database in exchange for a purchasing discount.

Visual Appeal- Aesthetics plays a huge role in determining how successful an e-commerce site is at turning its visitors into customers. All the functionality and information in the world does not amount to much unless it comes in a pretty package. In today's market it's likely that customers will bring their business to the next guy if you're working with an outdated, unattractive website. To make sure you don't lose those visitors with short attention spans, use a less is more approach on the home page, but make sure there's more information available for those who want to dig a little deeper.

Technology- This includes tools online visitors can use, as well others a business deploys behind the scenes that can dramatically affect lead-conversion. Choose your tech features wisely, and don't overlook the power of video, it's where the internet is headed.

Getting Customer Information- Special incentive offers are designed not only to get visitors to buy, but also to obtain email and home addresses you can use to continue communicating with them online and offline. Don't lose any leads by failing to ask visitors to supply one or two pieces of information!

Follow up Fast- Send the prospect an email shortly after their visit- if you can include content tailored to the visitor's clicks and interests on your site, that's even better. This can be done with an automated system, and it sets the stage for a series of email communications to the prospect that can include marketing offers, product announcements, newsletters etc. It also helps to attach someone's name, like the president of the company, to the email.

Supplemental Value- An informative and regularly updated blog can give your company a credibility boost and hold visitors interest enough to keep them engaged in the shopping experience. Demos and testimonials can help too, as well as posting positive mentions of your company in the media.

Some data from Entrepreneur Magazine

Business opportunities are like buses, there's always another one coming."
-Richard Branson, founder of Virgin Enterprises.

The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) research program is an annual assessment of the national level of entrepreneurial activity. The research program, based on an assessment of the level of national entrepreneurial activity for all participating countries, involves exploration of the role of entrepreneurship in national economic growth. Systematic differences are evident, with few highly entrepreneurial countries reflecting low economic growth. There is also a wealth of national characteristics that are associated with high entrepreneurial activity.

GEMs research has concluded that:
* all nations with high levels of entrepreneurial activity have above-average rates of economic growth.
* economies with higher rates of entrepreneurial activity are stronger and more competitive.
* the correlation between the level of entrepreneurial activity and economic growth is greater than 70 percent.

Data shows that a high percentage of new businesses in the United States fail within the first few years. These statistics could instill fear in the mind of anyone thinking about launching an enterprise. In reality it's not as bad as you may think. In fact, your odds can really be quite good, especially if you have a coach!

Many people starting businesses fail before they even have a chance to begin by moving forward with a poor business plan. It's essential to the success of your business that you construct a fool-proof plan before you start moving forward. The construction of a building does not start until after a solid, detailed blueprint has been created by an architect, so don't start a business without a solid detailed blueprint plan.

Don't do it without a coach! Athletes don't expect to make it to the Olympics without one, so don't expect to make it to the big leagues in your business without one.

In life, it is inevitable that we encounter bumps in the road. Most of the crowning achievements known to man came to fruition through persistence and determination. It is always those who believe so strongly in their dreams and their visions that see the day they manifest into realities. And to believe in something that strongly means you believe in it in the best of times AND in the worst of times. It is vitally important that you always BELIEVE in yourself and your goals no matter what. Truly believing is key, and when you encounter challenges, keep these points in mind:

*failures can bring you closer to success.
*problems are learning tools.
*opportunity and creativity lies in everything you attempt.
*negative thoughts feelings only limit you.
*each and every one of us is on earth to win.
*prosperity will come if you believe it will happen.

Remember: "Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up. I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work" -Thomas Edison

1. Know the Goal
Tune your focus into where you want to be, not where you are. You reap what you sow, so if you are planting thoughts of failure, fear, or any situation/frame of mind you would like to rid yourself of, what you're going to reap is exactly what you're trying to get rid of!

2. Make it 'Here and Now'
Make sure that all you affirm is in the present tense. Use words like "I'm so grateful that I'm driving my dream car." If you use words like "I want my business to succeed" or "I wish I was wealthy" guess what you are affirming? The state of WANTING and WISHING, the place you are in before your goal is met! That will get you more of the same, more wanting and no receiving.

3. Always be on the Bright Side
ALWAYS use positive language in your affirmations. There is an enormous difference between an affirmation like "I am no longer fearful" and "I am filled with courage." It is important to stay far away from negative language, because no matter how you frame it, you are still having negative thoughts, which attract negative things.

4. Make it your way
There are tons of ways to word the same thing. There is one way to word it that's just right for you. Similar to Goldilocks looking for just the right porridge, you must formulate the affirmation that's just right for you. Try tons of different ways of saying the same thing until it feels like you've found the affirmation that fits you best.

5. Get it From Every Angle
Think, see, and feel the reality of what you are affirming. Imagine yourself in your new house if that's what you want. Imagine how it would smell, picture your pictures over the fire place, feel the countertops in the kitchen on your fingertips. The more we rehearse, the more prepared we are to make the right choices that carry us to the goal.

6. Have a Little Faith
Life energy, which is operating your bodily cells, tissues, organs, and systems, at any moment, has within it the power of healing. It heals our cuts, bruises, colds, and other ailments without our efforts. Put your trust in this. There is evidence that the more we trust it, the better it works. Affirmations are only effective when you combine them with your faith and belief. Doubt and insecurity undermine new positive thought.

7. And Repeat
Practice Practice Practice! No practice, no progress. Chances are you have negative thoughts, attitudes and beliefs so deeply embedded because they have been around for a long time in your subconscious mind. When the brain cells are loaded up with thought habits that have to do with disease and limitation, it takes time to form new thought circuits with health and possibility. And don't stop until you get there, the paths to some goals are longer than others, but if you stop moving in the right direction, you never get there.

Imagine that you are running for your life from a lion that's looking to feed you to its family. Chances are you are going to run faster and longer than you have ever run before thanks to a little hormone called adrenaline. Adrenaline releases itself in the blood stream to better prepare you for emergency situations by boosting your supply of oxygen and glucose to the brain and muscles, dilating your pupils, and raising your blood sugar.

Faith releases inspiration, trust, courage, and vision. The good news is you don't necessarily have to be in an emergency situation for faith to release its effects. To maintain a faithful perspective has amazing powers. If you are listening to the radio, you tune in to a certain station to pick up that station's frequency. If you tune in to fear, you are picking up fear's frequencies, and that station is not going to give you anything but more and more fear. Thoughts have unique frequencies themselves, so tune into a faith frequency and use these three tips when you find yourself confronted with fear:

1. Take a Second. In your past, you've been afraid of something, everyone has. Think back to when you were a kid if you have to, your first rollercoaster, your first day of school, your first date. If you are reading this right now, then you survived it, and learned along the way. When you feel crippled by fear, allow yourself to be empowered by things you have overcome, because if it hasn't killed you it's made you stronger. You must trust yourself, trust your gut, trust your faith, and believe in it. Henry Ford once said, "Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you're right." Self confidence is one of the secrets to success. Confirm with yourself everyday that you are faithful and confident. If you focus on fear it becomes bigger, if you focus on faith it becomes a whole new point of view.

2. Look fear dead in the eye. It is important that you stand up to your fear, don't let it bully you. Remember that fear is simply an emotion. Your brain controls your emotions, and you control your brain. "What you resist persists," if you are constantly avoiding your fear it will constantly be holding you back. It is important to accept and explore what exactly you are afraid of and why. If you are not aware of what fears are holding you back from achieving something, you are in no position to deal with them. Becoming aware and insightful about what is holding you down will help bring you to the solution for any obstacle that you may be facing. Fear can be very powerful, but faith is more powerful, so if you choose faith, it will always prevail.

3. Give life all you've got, and life will give all it has to you. If you approach everyday with open arms and a love for life, life will love you back. Have an open heart and mind. Give thanks and attention to simple pleasures in your life that you love, have faith in the utterly infinite possibilities of each day, and you will start to find that each day has the potential blow your mind and exceed expectations. For every second that you choose to waste in fear, you lose a second you can enjoy in faith. Faith and fear go hand in hand, and fear ends where faith begins. If you are fearful, you are lacking faith, but fear will dwindle away as you allow your belief in faith to grow.

Business Consulting and Success Coaching are the MOST EFFECTIVE ways to help you overcome fears in your professional life!

Develops Loyal Customers: When you build a brand that customers know and love, they become not only customers for life, but are likely to spread a good word of mouth.

Establishes Familiarity Among Customers: Exposure exposure exposure! The more you get your company's brand out there, the more familiar consumers are going to be with it, and the more likely they are to use your product or service when they are in need of what you offer.

Allows You To Charge Premium Prices: Why are consumers willing to pay $300,000 for a Bentley? They are paying this premium price because they want to be associated with the brand which has built such a prestigious reputation, not because their products do anything that amazing.

Lowers Your Marketing Costs: Once your brand is created and maintained, people already know about your company and marketing costs are greatly reduced.

Offers Consumers a Sense of Security: When consumers are investing a significant amount of money in something, they want to feel like they are making a safe investment. Building a good brand reputation allows your customers this comfort.

"All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think, we become" - Buddha

Imagine the flip of a coin, although there is a specific number of possible outcomes the coin can land on (heads or tails), what causes it to bounce one way instead of another? If you consciously intend for it to land on heads as appose to tails, does it matter? Scientists have found that the answer to this question is yes.

Random Number Generators and Random Event Generators are a type of devise designed to produce random outcomes. One type of Random Number Generator (RNG) is electronic hardware that generates only 0 and 1 bits at random. Scientific experiments have been conducted to see if intention was directed towards these RNGs, would it affect the outcome? Meaning, if you asked someone to focus their intentions on the generator generating more 1 bits instead of 0, does it have an effect? The answer they found is that intention does affect outcomes that we thought were completely random. In fact, the final conclusion from these experiments is that the odds of chance being the reason the generator's outcome went the way it did is fifty thousand to one! Fifty thousand to one! That means if you are simply wishing for more 1 bit outcomes, the "random" generator generates more 1 bits!

How does this affect you? Well, how doesn't it is the real question. What are you wishing for? What outcomes are you really expecting? Do you expect to get the financing you need for your business? If you truly don't expect, or intend for your new business or career to succeed, chances are it won't. Believe in what you are doing whole heartily, intend to be successful, and your wish will likely be granted.

Because it's not always so easy to keep your spirits up with your head in the right place and on the right track, you need help. These days, to have a successful career you need a coach! Business coaches are becoming more common than not and once you invest in one, you will see why. To have an expert coaching you from the sidelines is the most effective way to reduce stress and produce positive results.

The good news is, you can make a choice to believe in the scarcity or the abundance in any situation, and whatever you believe, you're right!

Try repeating these sentences until you believe them.

1. Making money in a business is easy
2. I am a money magnet
3. I always have more money then I need
4. I can afford to buy everything I want
5. The universe is abundant and prosperous

Start using this in your business realm. The mind is the most precious resource that you have. It is your business and your life's best tool in any market or economy. As long as you carefully choose your thoughts and visions, you can be, do, or have pretty much anything you want. But if your thinking is unfocused, you are probably missing out on potential opportunities.

Come up with your own personalized affirmations, affirm what you want specifically. You are already thinking every day, so become aware of what you are thinking about and you will become the best version yourself.

Remember that we attract whatever we give our attention, energy and focus to-whether negative or positive. Think about how much this affects your business!
There are infinite possibilities in each moment. Your hours and days are precious, and once they are lost you can never get them back so appreciate each one that comes by.

Make up your mind. Train yourself to become aware and in control of what you are focusing on daily. Work on controlling your thinking and becoming focused on what you want, instead of your fears or what you don't want. Ask yourself, "What kind of thoughts have I dwelled upon the most in my business?" You need to focus on the positive in order to attract the things that you want.

Make a commitment to yourself that you will start using these tools to improve your business and life. You deserve it.

Ask: First ask yourself what it is exactly that you want. Do you want to launch a new business? Do you want to see your net profit increase by a certain percentage this year? Do you want your pet to be housebroken? Whatever the goal is that you want, make it clear, and don't be shy. These are your wants after all, and you are entitled to them. Your goals must be positive, and they must generate good feelings when you think about them. Don't make goals for things you think you should accomplish. Make goals for things that will inspire and fulfill YOU, never mind anyone else.

Believe: This may be the toughest part. To believe in your goals and believe that they can and will become realities, you must live in a mentality as if you already achieved them. If you want your pet to be housebroken, thank them every day for remembering to use the outdoors as their bathroom, even if they don't. Tell yourself and your pet how much you appreciate that their behavior has improved leaps and bounds. Don't do this in a sarcastic manner, with this you would be reinforcing the position you are in before the goal is met. FEEL this appreciation in your bones, let your emotions go to the place where this goal has been met, this is what will get you to realization level of your goal. Do you want to see sales improve this year? Make a mock up of your book keeping, but make it correspond to reaching your goal. Show where those extra revenues are coming from and look at that financial statement as if it was as real as last year's.

Receive: Open up to allow your goals to become reality. Often times when you set a goal it is some kind of inspired thought that will get you where you want to be. At any moment a light bulb can turn on in your mind for that million dollar idea to launch your business or advertise to your target market. Take changes, make different choices. The catch to this is that you must always be open to inspiration. Always stay in that mindset where your goals are reached, because then you are reinforcing the idea that they can and will come true, and leaving the how part up to the universe.

Dr. Masaru Emoto is a Japanese researcher who has pioneered astonishing discoveries about water. Through years of experimentation, Emoto found that water changes its molecular shape when exposed to different words, sounds, and even things. Considering that water is a fundamental necessity to all life forms, it makes up 75% of our bodies and half of Earth, we may be affecting a lot more than the naked eye shows us.

Using a very powerful microscope we can see that the crystals formed in water that is frozen literally changes when specific, concentrated thoughts or things are directed towards them. Emoto experimented with a countless number of words, phrases, pictures, sounds, even water simply from different locations. He found that water from a clear spring or water exposed to words associated with gratitude such as "I Love You," or "Thank You" shows brilliant, complex, and colorful patterns similar to snowflakes. In contrast, polluted water, or water exposed to negative words like "You Fool" or "Satan" form incomplete, asymmetrical patterns with dull colors. Water exposed to a picture of a flower or a picture of a dolphin show results similar to patterns formed from "I Love You" and "Thank you." Dr. Emoto even tried exposing water to a mobile telephone and a microwave and found that they cause water to form similarly to the water exposed to "Satan" or "I Hate You." This suggests that negative thoughts are not a part of nature and were developed by society, just as microwaves and mobile telephones were.

Essentially, this research suggests that thoughts and feelings are affecting the physical world. Human beings are vibrating at a frequency of 570 trillion times per second, so the more gratitude, love and appreciation we feel, the more we create that frequency. The implication of this brings a whole new approach to how we can positively impact Earth and our life. The power of positive thoughts can take on a whole new meaning, so be sure that you are always thinking positive, successful thoughts!
