If
You Can't See It, You Won't Get It! |

Two
years ago a student, Rhonda, sent an email telling me she
was having a hard time looking ahead. “You always tell
us to put the blinders on, be patient and look ahead, but
all I can think of are the bills that are due and how bad
I need to make more money. I want all that lifestyle you talk
about but I don't know what we are going to do.” |
|
| |
|
The
truth is most people find it
impossible to reach their goals because they can't visualize
them! In fairness, very few people in the
world are born with the ability to visualize what they can
be. You sometimes hear about a famous statesman or founder
of a major corporation or a champion athlete who maintain,
I always knew this is what I was going to be. |
|
| |
|
| But, for every
person who knew his or her destiny
there are millions and millions of us who just cant quite see
it. Most people struggle through life, accept less than they
can be, and never truly live their
lives. |
|
| |
|
| We can spend
hours and hours studying why but what's the point? You can wonder
why the rich and famous do what they do but, if you find the
answer, so what? Leave that to the academics, you and I live
in the real world. We can’t spend theory, we don't live
in a book, and we can’t get satisfaction from the exploits
of others. But..., |

There
is a very simple way to immediately
get yourself on the path to success: Make it real!
|
|
|
| |
There you go, see how easy
it was! Let me give you an example. When I began my business I never
expected to own a beautiful house in the mountains with over 20
acres. I thought that was for other people, rich people, anyone
but me. |
| |
| One day I attended a seminar. I cant recall exactly
how long ago, where it was, or even who was speaking. The speaker
said you have to see what you want if
you intend to get it. He meant it literally. |
| |
“I don't care if it
is a house, an island vacation, a boat, a watch or whatever, until
you see it you wont get it.” Here is what he suggested: “Get
a magazine, find a picture of what you want, cut the picture out,
and put it somewhere where you will see it everyday: On the bathroom
mirror, in the front of your day planner, somewhere obvious. And
every time you look at it tell yourself you will have it.” |
| |
If you want a BMW cut out
a photo of a BMW, the exact model and color you want. If you want
a house on a lake find a photo of a great house on a lake, or take
one yourself! If you want an airplane, get a picture of the one
you want. |

I wanted to live in the
mountains and have 20 acres of land. I found a magazine article
about mountain land that had pictures and I read the article and
looked at the pictures often. It never occurred to me I could
or should have this. But looking at
it made sense, and the more I looked at it the more real it became.
One year later, in 2004, I purchased a beautiful house in the mountains
with over 27 acres of land. It was not even on the market. I talked
to the owner, he agreed to sell it, and a major dream was realized.
Now I enjoy awesome views of the mountains and the river. I love
watching the deer and turkey walking right in front of my house.

Just a few days ago one
of my FastHomeWealth.com™ students decided
to take advantage of one of our opportunities after reading the
free report "Get Wealthy By Giving
Money Away!". He troubled with the decision for weeks,
partly because he wasn't sure he could spend the money, but mostly
because he didn't know what it took to succeed. But, of all the
students I have ever had, he wanted more for himself and his family
than anyone. He was so passionate I thought he might have a nervous
breakdown before he could get started. |
| |
Finally, I changed the subject
and asked what he would buy if he did succeed. He started by saying,
a new car, a vacation, I interrupted him and said, what kind of
car, where will you go on vacation? |
| |
And then he got it! “I
want a brand new Lexus GS430 and I want to fly my family, first
class, to Hawaii”. He went on and on. I interrupted again
and told him to write each wish down in very specific words. For
example, “I want to fly United Airlines direct to Maui in
first class with my family and I want to stay at”. |
| |
I told him to find an automobile
magazine, find his dream car and cut the picture out. Then I told
him to find a travel magazine, find his dream vacation, and cut
it out. He took it from there, “Oh, yeah, I guess if I can
see them it will make them more real, won't it.” |
|
I said, “Put those
pictures on your bathroom mirror so both you and your wife can see
them. Tell yourself you will have them. And tell your wife to ask
you when”. I got a phone call two days ago from a very happy
man lying on the beach in Hawaii. “We drove our new Lexus
to the airport, climbed into our first class seats for the direct
flight to Maui, and now I'm sitting here with one of those tropical
drinks with an umbrella in it. It feels great! And guess what, when
we get back we have appointment to look at this great house on the
lake”.
|
| |
He
spent his entire life wanting more, then put himself in the picture,
and achieved it. How about you, what do you want?
What does it look like? What color is it? Where is it? |
| |
Rhonda has struggled with
the possibilities, but she finally decided it was worth making them
real. Last week she emailed to tell me she cut out a picture of
a brand new yellow Volkswagen Jetta... |
| |
I don't know what you want
but when you finally picture it, you will believe it can be yours.
Visualize your tomorrow and it can be what you want it to be! |

Thank you and God bless
you! |
