and "vision" that really hit home:

"We all know what a goal is, but vision is a topic of confusion for many. To put it in the simplest of terms, your vision is how you see yourself. You can set goals all day long, but if you cannot truly see yourself achieving them, your goals will never be realized. To accomplish a goal, you must truly expect to achieve it."

The key word is "see". He was talking directly to me. I never saw myself being able to make a full-time living with my business, instead of having to stay up on my computer until midnight and then struggling to make it into my office a few hours later for my "regular" job. But here were mentors in Success University who had come from much more humble beginnings and been able to forge a career from virtually nothing but the desire to succeed. I had the determination to stick it out through the learning curve, even while doctoring the stomach ulcers I was soon inflicted with as a result of trying to now work a full-time job, a part-time job and keep up with the needs of my family and my network of friends.

Setting a goal like having a successful home internet business without first seeing a real vision of it being so successful that you can replace your 9-5 existence and have all the things that a successful business can afford means you fail to appeal to your subconscious mind. You must use pictures that compel - see yourself not bothering to set an alarm clock each night, planning trips to dream destinations, investing money wisely without worry. If you cannot see it, you will never have it.

The subconscious mind will draw on whatever is at hand. If poverty and failure are the only materials available, they will be drawn upon and they will certainly
continue to show up in your life. But you CAN change the vision in your subconscious.

First, be more conscious of spending your time with people who have similar goals and vision. Are you afraid to tell a close friend about your goals? If so, they are not as close a friend as you may have thought. Seek out mentors to guide
