What is Visualization
Visualization is defined at the art imaging something or someone in the form of picture in the mind.
Many successful people use the power of visualization to get what they want in life.
Some of the most successful online entrepreneurs have also used the power of visualization to help them to create a profitable business online.
Therefore, if you have the desire to achieve something, you might want to use visualization to help you achieve your goal.
Although this is not a topic that is widely discussed on a day to day basis, you still can find out information about visualization through books to visualize yourself to success.
However, visualization is a journey that does not happen overnight, therefore you need to have patience along the journey to getting what you want in your life.
Steps to Visualization
The daily practice of visualization towards your goal increases your chances to reach your goal. Here are some steps to use during visualization.
1. Knowing What You Want
Knowing what you want means you have to stop looking into the past and your circumstances for excuses.
You have to decide the actual result that you want to create in the future instead of dwelling over the past.
One good way to start visualizing your future is by writing down your goals. Personally, I am a great fan of goal writing. I find that writing my goals down serve a great purpose in helping me get closer to my dream.
One of the great benefit of writing goals is that it brings clarity to your mind. At the same time it allows you to monitor your steps along your journey towards success.
Whether it is to create a successful business online or even to go for your dream vacation, everything can be made easier when you know what you really want.
2. Use Your Imagination
It is always useful when you have some kind of imagination. Having imagination always help you to get closer from where you are to where you want to be.
You can start of by imagining what’s your ideal life like when you are living your future life.
You can think about what kind of environment you are living in ?
How is your career like? What kind of people are you associating with?
At first picturing your culture reality mighty seemed tricky but the more you practice, the clearer you will be able to see your future self.
The important part about dreaming about your future reality is to feel the feelings and results as if you already have them. This helps to put you in a state of abundance.
Just like when you are watching a horror movie, the fear you feel is almost the same as if you are in the real movie. Your brain does differentiate the difference between real or fake feelings.
Therefore, if you can imagine you are already living your future, you put yourself in a higher frequency. This helps you to take real actions towards getting the results you want.
3. Watch Your Thoughts and Feelings
Watching your daily thoughts and feelings is also an important part of the visualization cycle that helps you get what you want.
You can begin by having the thoughts and feelings of your future results. When you do so, you create the feeling of feeling amazing.
As you begin to feel amazing, your state of mentality will begin to shift. From here, you begin to create a new identity for your future self.
You can take the rights actions from where you are right now and scale it to where you want to be in your dream reality.
You might not be able to see the results from day one and with little changes you take every time, the results are closer to you than you can imagine.
4. Make it a Habit to Visualize Daily
Unless you are willing to find the time and space for you to visualize, chances are it will never happen.
For instance, if your dream is to become a successful online entrepreneur, you can make it a habit of visualizing yourself having a profitable business online constantly.
You can make it a habit to coach yourself towards success by learning from the right mentors . From here, you can take the right steps to reinforce your actions.
You can make visualization your favorite time of the day and decide how much time you want to spend visualizing.
Making effort to visualize your future is important because if you are not creating time for your future, it may find yourself always living in the past.
5. Persevere
When creating the life you dream of, there bound to be times when the harsh reality of life kicks in.
There may be times when you are not in supportive environment or simply not in good shape to get started.
However, the key here is to stick to what you first dream of.
Rather than getting knocked out by your life circumstances, you can learn to persevere and not let your circumstances take over you.
After Thoughts
Although visualization is crucial in helping you build your future results, it is not a formula that creates results overnight.
When using the power of visualization, one has to understand that things take time to happen.
The result of visualization puts your body in the state as if you already have the results you want.
Instead of living in the past, you can use your imagination to create and design your life just the way you like.
Along the journey to success, there may be times that you make mistakes. Do not let your mistakes define you . Just learn from your mistakes and move on with your journey .
When you are clear about what you want to achieve, you will naturally take the right actions towards your goal .
Last but not least, adopting a habit to visualize yourself towards success on a daily basis will turn your dream faster into reality.
Thoughts are things. If you work on focus, which visualization is then you can focus your thoughts one the things you want to acquire and bring about the success you are looking for. The TED talk you shared is really good. Start with the goal, write it down, make it the focus. Utilize your sub conscious and imagination to make it more real in your mind. Develop a routine to make your goal or dream more real on a daily basis. I appreciate how you outlined and clarified for me this process. I hope to put this routine into practice.
This article is very useful and helps every beginner in this business environment to visualize our self successful. I want to stop at step 1 where you put it is important to know what we want. For this reason I think it is best to establish a list of objectives that we want to achieve. For this, as you say in the next step, it is necessary to use the imagination but also to listen to your own desires. I recently created a website where I promote more products and earn money online from commissions. This year I set myself the goal of earning $ 10k. Even if it is something I currently imagine, I believe that I will succeed with ambition and determination. Thank you very much for this article and for me it had a great and motivational role.
Virtualization is one of the most important things one needs to understand because what you done dream, pictures or visualise you cannot become….virtualization is very important,as it serves as a guideline to achieve a certain goal or aspiration.thanks for sharing this awesome article…I really like the steps you outlined they would definitely severe the purpose.
Your sharing is great. Everyone should have another sideline. In addition to regular work, there must be goals. Ability to achieve freedom of wealth. But this requires some effort. Sometimes I watch TED talks. Total energy sees different perspectives on the speaker. But the only thing that is constant is persistence. Hope we can achieve our goals.
Blessing.
Nothing in this world do exist without being conceived in someone’s mind first. If this is a logical implication, why does it cost too much effort to believe that any creation starts in our minds?… Well, we’ve been programmed to be consumers instead of producers.
The habit of daily visualization of yourself is a great exercise. Thanks a lot for sharing the TED talk video and for this great post sull of too many tools to help us improve.
Let’s take the shoot and go for our dreams, visualize them and feel grateful for “being there” before actually getting there. Great motivational post!
Visualization I think is very important in our lives. When we picture things, believe in them, and starting taking action to their actualization will definitely bring things to reality. We should really learn to do this if we want to experience success in our lives. I already have goals that I’m working on currently, and this your article has really helped me reshape the way I look at them.
I can relate visualization to the Law of Attraction. I think that it works together. When we visualize and expect, we tend to stay positive. We are really expecting something from the said universe, and that we will get. Taken down your goals probably on a notebook or journal is a good thing. When we take a look at it every morning, it tends to bring this feeling of joy and gladness. I’ve learnt a lot of things here.
Hi Cindy, visualisation of success is actually one of the best ways with which we can reach our goals and dreams. So thanks for sharing this guide on how we can visualise success.

Hi Cindy,
Thanks again for another informative, inspiring and motivating post. I am a fan of Tony Robbins while watching one of his videos he talked about the importance of visualization (Priming Technique) and I was amazed. While doing some research I came across your helpful article.
When you visualize, then you materialize. – Denis Waitley
Although I am aware of the importance of visualization, I am not sure how to practice it. Your step by step walkthrough is a greater help. The video you embedded is very insightful. From today I am going to practice what I learned from your article.
Visualization is something I learned to use before interviews of various sorts. It definitely works. I pictured myself being savvy and handling rejection and maintaining proper facial expressions. It was helpful to imagine the worst, so it was like a surprise that brought me good cheer when the interview went well.
I have been afraid to try visualizing myself as an online success. I’m afraid it will somehow backfire. Why should I fear? Like your article says, it is helpful for many. I am going to try your suggestions so I can know I’m visualizing correctly. Thank you!
Hi Cindy, this should be an invaluable resource for those seeking information about starting an online business and making money that will enhance and change lifestyles! It is very easy to navigate to the different articles and I think the mindset blog is really phenomenal. Thoughts become feelings which result in action, either desirable or not. I think entrepreneurs and people in general really downplay that data loop in their head and how it can influence all of their behavior. I will definitely come back and see more of your great insights.
Hello Cindy,
I once (over a decade ago) watched the Secret, a film/documentary that was talking about the Law of Attraction. Visualization was constantly recommended. The concept was said to be a slow process but one that bears fruits all the time. If one imagines and believes something in the mind, they achieve it in substance- whether it was good or bad. Just like in your article, it is important, therefore, to adopt a positive thinking lifestyle.

Spot on, in our materialistic culture we have lost many skills and definitely nobody talks much about visualization unless they are charging you a lot of money.
As a teacher, I used visualization all the time. I knew that if I could see something I had planned happen, then it would happen. If I couldn’t see it I wouldn’t use it in class.
One thing that is perticularly useful to me is thinking out the day at the beginning of the day.
Yes, I get what you say. When you visualize; the things that you visualized seem to seek out you. I have had that happen.
So I am probably a novice and as you say, acquiring the power of visualization is a journey that takes time and practice. The information you have here is very useful.
