Esoteric Squirrel made an appearance this morning… I do apologize, as it’s 6 am, and this guy woke me up at 4:30 with an idea. (I also have ingested LOADS of coffee, so it might not make sense).
Visualization
The first and most important step is to visualize what you want and to understand what you want.
You'll find it’s not always the money that you want but rather what that money represents in terms of your lifestyle or your status.
The best way to get an idea of what you want from life in any given area is often just to visualize your future. That means closing your eyes and just calling to mind your ideal future.
Where are you?
Are you happy?

What do you do for a living?
Who are you with?
Do you have an office? Or do you have a Laptop? (Have Laptop, will Travel).
By picturing your future in this abstract way, you’ll be able to start analyzing what it is that you’re trying to accomplish and from there you can begin to look at the more concrete steps you’d need to take to get there. Some other strategies that can help with this are:
· Looking at your role models and seeing what they have in common
· Thinking about the things that excite you, your hobbies, the things you’re a fan of, etc.
· Thinking about the last time you felt truly happy, or truly alive from there, it’s also a good idea to think about the actual reality and to visualize what it would be like to get there and to live that life. Do you still want it?
Getting to the core of what you want like this can also help you to overcome impossible odds. If you want to be an online presence for example, then you might have to come to terms with the fact that you have to put in the work, time, and education that it will take to get there.
But ask yourself why that appeals to you on an emotional level. Maybe it comes down to your love of writing or helping others. Maybe you want to retire from one aspect of your professional life but continue in a different direction with it. (That’s my goal, and every day I visualize ways to achieve that).
Have an AWESOME DAY!!
