Visualization

When I was 22, I had a burning desire to receive a Masters of Business Administration degree from
one of the top 10 business schools in the USA. I realized, “The average candidate is 28 years old and
has at least 5 years of experience in finance, supply chain management, marketing or strategy, which I
don’t. Basically my chances of getting accepted are slim.”

I drew on an A4 sheet of paper a picture of where I was a student at one of the top 10 MBA schools
and hung it on the wall near my desk. Every time I looked at it, I imagined that I had already been
accepted and enjoyed my time in the MBA program. Within the next several months, I had generated
numerous amazing ideas of how to increase my chances of getting accepted. And the miracle
happened. I became the yo ung est student at the MBA pr o g r am at Michig an Ro ss Scho o l o f Business
and even received a generous scholarship. Later, I learned that the reason I was accepted to one of the
top 10 business schools was the law of attraction that successful idea generators have used for
thousands of years. The law of attraction says, “You get what you think about, because your
subconscious draws actions, thoughts and events to your life based on the program you set.” Let’s see
how it works.

Every time you imagine that you already achieved a goal, your subconscious receives a task, “Please
make my dream a reality.” When you visualize your desire often, your creative brain thinks about
po tential ideas and so lutio ns actively. Eventually yo u g et necessar y answer s and make yo ur dr eam a
reality.

Draw a picture of your goal and hang it near your desk or bed. Every time you look at it imagine as
vividly as possible that you have already achieved your dream. Your subconscious will get activated
and will think abo ut ways to make the pictur e fr o m yo ur imag inatio n a r eality. Yo u can be sur e that
one day your goal will be achieved, no matter how big it is.

The law of attraction is one of the most effective techniques that exist not only for generating ideas
but also for achieving goals. Use it for small goals that are achievable within a week, use it for
average goals that are achievable within a month, and use it for huge strategic goals that you want to
achieve within a decade. You can use the law of attraction as many times as you want and every time it
will bring you whatever you ask for.

Visualization works perfectly in combination with the “Think and Rest” technique. Remember also
that to make your subconscious think actively you need to have a burning desire to find a solution and
a 100% confidence that you will generate great ideas.
