6. As well as writing your Goal Journal, you can create a TREASURE MAP.  This is a visual representation of what it is you want to attract into
        your life.   If you want to move to your ideal house, cut pictures out of magazines of exactly the sort of house you want, (or use photographs),
        the sort of garden you want, pictures from interior design magazines for the type of kitchen, bathroom etc you want.   Use visual reminders of
        the amount of money you need to make this dream a reality - if you've ever received one of those pretend cheques from Readers' Digest, get it copied
        and enlarged.   Keep your Treasure Map in full view so you will see it constantly.

        7. Enlist the SUPPORT of people who can help you achieve.  This could be working with a coach or buddying up with a like-minded friend(s) to meet
        regularly for update sessions to keep each other on track, encourage each other, and celebrate together.


        8. Establish what SKILLS TO ACQUIRE.  What do you need to be doing to become the person who will achieve your goals?  Do you need to enrol in college,
        what books do you need to read, which seminars will you attend, will you join a networking group, see a style consultant etc?


        9. Bearing in mind you are now telling your subconscious that you are already in possession of your desires by daily use of affirmations, visualisations, treasure
        maps, and always using the present tense, it's time to ACT AS IF.  This basically means acting in a fashion that presents to yourself and the outside world that
        you are already the person you wish to become.  This does not mean deceiving people, doing anything illegal or getting into debt by borrowing money to buy
        your dream car or house, or running up the credit card bill buying designer clothes if you do not have the wherewithal to make the repayments.  It can mean
        acting confidently when meeting new people, using a Mont Blanc or gold pen instead of a Bic biro, using your money to buy one good, designer suit instead of
        cheap quality clothes.


        10. You need to truly BELIEVE you are already successful before success becomes yours. Instead of the old saying "I'll believe it when I see it", change to "I'll
        see it when I believe it".   If you don't seriously believe, then you will sabotage your own efforts.


        11. When you THINK as a successful person thinks, ACT as a successful person acts, and BELIEVE you are successful, then as sure as the earth orbits the sun, you
        will BECOME successful.

        12. Don't forget to REWARD yourself along the way to achieving your goals.  Your Goal Journal will show how far you've come, it's up to you what the
        milestones are and the type of reward.  If you're halfway to your ideal weight, going out for a slap-up meal is probably not how you'd celebrate, but going to
        the theatre or buying the latest novel by your favourite author could be.   It's entirely up to you.  This part of the process must not be missed out - it's what
        keeps you going when things get tough, and it's what makes it fun.

        THE IMPORTANCE OF VALUES-BASED GOALS
                                                                                                                                                                    Page294
        No goal achieved will give you true fulfilment unless it is congruent with your personal values.   It is imperative that you establish your hierarchy of
        values before contemplating setting goals in the relevant areas of your life.
