Using the Laws of Attraction
Visualization
An extremely powerful tool in your success arsenal is visualization. The power to visualize and focus on what your goal is. The power to visualize can increase as you use it. However, for some people it is a very natural tool they use constantly.
Most really good athletes use visualization in their sports; basketball players visualize the shot going through the hoop, golfers visualize where their golfball will land, football players go through the plays in their head as soon as the play is called (it sort of flashes and they SEE it before the ball is snapped), and so on...
Engineers visualize what they are trying to build before they actually build it. So do business owners.
Something I found that really helped me when I first started setting goals and working towards them was a visualization poster board. I tried to find pictures of those things I wanted, places to visit, degrees to obtain, etc. I would cut them out and use double sticky backed tape to stick them to my poster board. As I acquired or achieved a goal, I would pull the picture off the board. Then, as I added goals, I would add another picture or two.
I used my poster board for a few years until I discovered I no longer needed it for my visualization. I was able to internalize and just close my eyes and see what my goals were and how I would feel after I had achieved them.
What are the costs of doing this? A poster board is 50 cents or so, the tape is about a dollar, and scissors are a couple of dollars. You probably already have tape and scissors around the home. For the pictures, I cut them out of sales ads and magazines I have. You can now print pictures from the internet. For electronics I used the Sunday ads from Best Buy and Circuit City. For clothing I used the ads from Macys and Kohls.
Be sure that when you have your poster made that you see it at least twice a day.
I know that my poster helped me attain and achieve so many of my goals. It is so very powerful. I kept mine in the garage where I would see it before I left and when I would return.
My wife used a visualization poster to buy her Thunderbird convertable and to get her private pilots license. She kept her poster in her walk-in closet.
By the way, I even had my children doing this. It also helped Santa Claus determine what the kids wanted for Christmas. They kept their posters on the back of their bedroom doors.
As a side item, we have two $1,000,000 bills taped to the ceiling above our bed where we can see it before we go to bed and when we wake up.

As always Steve - great advice - thanks for sharing! I just had a conversation recently with my Alternative Doctor and he told me, and I have also read this, that he visualizes himself playing his piano and reading difficult sheet music. He said that he does play much better from practicing it in his mind. Very interesting - I will have to try this!
Have a lovely day!

Hi Steve and all LOA followers. I am wrapped to find this site. I want more than anything right now to have contact with like minded people.... hmm how do I put that on my vis. board? Look I think the board is wonderfull. it makes us compose the actions that are required in our minds as we look at the goals and then internal resistence is brought up and we can deal with that as we go about our day. I personally am kinesthetic... learn by doing, so i have recently been test driving cars. I need to feel whatever it is I want so I am looking for a way to enhance the desires of my heart and bring them closer by focusing more closely on feeling what it is like to have it......
Visit houses like the one I would like. Ride the horse that is like one i want. Be with people who are like the ones I would like to surround myself with ie.... I am changing jobs next month and joining groups in the new town I moved to, am searching sites... and found you guys!!
I recently read The 5 languages of love..... Touch, Positive words, Gifts, Service, hmm what was the 5th? i will have to get out the book. But the point is I realized that we are all different, in how we learn and how we are excited about life. Some of us are very visual and some are auditary. It is important to know how we function and who we are. Then we can feed in the positive goals specifically.
Regards,
Chris

Chris,
You are moving along the correct path; test driving cars, house looking, etc. Things like that imprint themselves on your mind and cause you to continually focus on what you want. This technique along with writing down your dreams, goals, visualization board, affirmations, reading positive thinking books, etc., all invoke the LOA to move to you that which you seek.
I see you joined the Message Magic program. Excellent start to your wealth in 2009. This is only one of many programs I am involved in. And it is one of five that are within Matrix-Millionaire.
Here are the steps to joining Matrix-Millionaire:
1. Join AlertPay (it is how we get paid).
2. Join Matrix-Millionaire (it is free).
3. Join the WorkFor3Dollars program (it costs only $3 once for life).
4. Join MAXShares Matrix program (it costs only $6 once for life).
5. Join Learn To Earn Matrix program (it costs only $5 once for life).
6. Join S4PNetProfits program (it costs only $7.95 a month).
7. Then you would have joined the Message Magic program.
I believe in "Paying it Forward" so I benefactored in my first 3 members under the WorkFor3Dollars program with the idea that they would do the same for their first 3 people. (I actually benefactored in 3 family members and then benefactored in 3 for each of them. Cost me a whopping $36 but it is really paying off.)
I also benefactored in 3 people in the $5 and the $6 programs and they are doing the same pay it forward plan.
I ask each of my downline to provide me with each of the program USERIDs so I can add them to my daily promotion engine (TrafficSeeker). I use the platinum level of TrafficSeeker and send my and my downlines' links to over one million search engines a couple times every day.
I also promote these programs using:
ViralURL
ListJoe
TrafficSwarm
AdlandPro
Let me know how I can help you even more.
Have a Happy New Year!!!
Steve

Steve, it all gets a bit overwhelming and there is so much information out there. I get mixed up with the return emails and which program is which. The list you have given is excellent. I will have a look at each step and program. Thanks.

Actually, we have been doing very well.
We have purchased a new but smaller (only 4 bedrooms) second home in Florida (we live in Virginia in a huge 6 bedroom home).
We have vacationed in Oklahoma, Florida (3 times so far this year), North Carolina (also 3 times), Illinois, and St. Louis. We have had many family members visit us and took them on tours of Washington, DC.
I am life mentoring 3 people across the nation and professionally mentoring 3 at work.
We are not earning the million a year but only a little more than a quarter of that.
My wife has been asked to become the next president of the organization she supports. It appears to be an unpaid full time position and she does not have time for that.
I have been asked to write a book (or several) about part of my family's past. John Jakes wrote a fictional history using some of the family's happenings. I would like to put the actual stories out there. Also, I have a lot photos that I can use.
Our fifth and sixth grandchildren were born during the past year.
Our daughter received a promotion and moved to Miami Beach (a position and place she has been focused on).
Our youngest son graduated from college and has a full time position (yes, in this economy).
Our family has been doing very well.
How have things been going for you?
