"How I Manifested A Million Dollars...At Age 25"

A Thread on Visualization

1. Most people on here haven't heard about visualization, or maybe don't know much about it.

I'm here to report two things
- it really works
- how to do it properly

2. When I was young, my family suffered some major financial setbacks. I didn't know that we were poor but....

- we went from private school to public school
- my Dad took a second a job
- my mother started working
- I was told I should "help out"

3. Being poor sucks. No one should want it or think that there's dignity in it. I never want my kids to face the follow
- making tradeoffs about health over cost
- anxiety eating at you
- opportunity curtailed. A friend got into Harvard but had to attend local state school.

4. And ever since then, I wanted to be rich. Not "middle class". Not "comfortable". Not "upper middle class w a vacation house" but RICH

rich enough never to worry
generational wealth rich

5. Of course I availed myself of the usual path
- work hard in school, get into good uni
- do well in college
- get high paying job
- crush it

but a lot of people have done that

6. The extra tool in my arsenal was visualization

I channeled my unique desire into designing a perfect picture of my life, especially my net worth ($1 million) and how it would feel once I'd accomplished it

I used Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich" rule on how to visualize

7. First rule:
-create a statement of how much you intend to possess and when.
-It has to be possible, not $1 billion tomorrow

e.g. "I will have in my possession $5 mln by Aug 1, 2021"
e.g. e.g. "I will have in my possession $100 mln by Aug 1, 2025"

8. Second Rule
- you need a general idea of what you will do to earn it.
-This is just to get your mind thinking in the right direction, not to limit you
e.g. "I will be the salesman/copywriter of information products"
e.g. "I will be the best board member/investor possible"

9. Third Rule
- You need to make a statement of what the proof will be
e.g. "I can see my bank statement"
e.g. "I can imagine it on my brokerage screen"

10. Next, you have to FEEL what it's like to be rich
- think what good thoughts it would bring you. It could be relaxation, or excitment, or contentment, or well-being. Or a mixture
- But live those feelings and describe them

11. Now, Practice reading this and living those feelings at least once a day.

Best time is in the morning or before you go to bed, but the most important is to be CONSISTENT

12. In my case, I wrote up a mission statement to have $1 mln in my possession before my 26th birthday (ie at the age of 25)
I started when I was 22 and working. I worked my ass off, stayed consistent with the visualization work and ...

Got a 1 mln bonus check when I was 25

13. You can do it too!

Yes, it does work and there are reasons why

15. What do you think? Do you use visualization at all? How's it going?
