The Susie Zone - Visualize Your Goals (January 2019)


Visualize Your Goals - Personal Development Tips, Tricks and Strategies - How to Make Your Goals a Reality

by Susie J. Briscoe 

When people visualize anything, it makes it much more likely for them to make it a reality. They see the vision in their heads and then take steps to make it happen!

For instance, Thomas Edison improved the lightbulb. He had a vision and stopped at nothing to see it through.  Another visionary was Steve Jobs. He pictured how his products could help improve people's lives.

You can be a visionary too. Start by...

Visualizing Your Goals

  • Carry through the same concept
  • Paint a picture of what you would like accomplished by a certain period and, when you have that picture…
  • You can determine what’s necessary to implement it

Break Down The Steps

  • Use visualization tools to help you manage those steps
  • Build a Project Management Plan using software or
  • keep track of tasks in a spreadsheet
  • Use whatever tool works for you

Create A Vision Board (see below for Vision Board Fun! to help you get started)

  • Consider using a corkboard to place things
  • Piece together a problem and help with possible solutions
  • Add new items and remove old items if needed
  • There are no rules
  • If you understand the vision, it’s the right one for you

Mind Map for Brainstorming

  • Use dedicated software or sheets of paper
  • Start with the principle idea or task in the middle
  • Draw related items out from the central area
  • Continue linking ideas and thoughts with lines
  • From this perspective, you can see the whole plan from a bird’s eye view (although this doesn’t work for everyone, it just may work for you, so give it a try!)

It’s Your Plan

  • Use all these concepts or only a few
  • Experiment to see which resonate with you
  • It’s an iterative process
  • The key is not to get caught up in the process
  • Visualize your goals but you must track progress
