They rehearse the future as they see it
"I believe our future is a one-stop shop for decorating. In addition to limited-edition prints and posters, we now offer collectibles, gift items and small occasional furniture pieces," said Christine Knoll of the Art Gallery of Hog Hollow in Chesterfield, Mo.
Successful people move towards the pictures they create in their mind. They can rehearse coming actions or events as they "see" them. They are like chess players who can "feel" the next move of their opponent and have half a dozen responses ready when their time comes to move.
Many successful athletes will say they practice "seeing" themselves winning the race, hitting the home run or scoring the touchdown. They actually visualize a future event which gives them the impetus to achieve the goal.
How many of these six characteristics are yours? The more you have, the higher degree of probability you will be doing more business next year instead of being one of the thousands of retailers listed in the obituary pages of the local paper's business news. ABN
Successful Business People:
--Constantly set higher goals
--Avoid "comfort zones"
--Driven by accomplishments, not money
--Solve problems rather than place blame
--Look at the worst possible scenario
--Rehearse the future as they see it
