Not a great fan of this one, but it works well in some instances. When you are setting goals, take a mental picture of you standing on the winners podium. Imagine you are banking that cheque from that hard won contract, see yourself holing that 20ft putt. You can create a vision that means something and it will happen.

The converse of this is that you may not be a visual person, preferring the written word or the sound of success. In which case, switch from a visual medium to your preferred style, the effects are the same.

Consider this, too much visualisation can lead to inaction.
