I recently saw a short video on LinkedIn that talked about visualization and it pushed some buttons for me. In this episode, I talk about my long experience with visualizations and what you can expect if you are using them as a technique for getting what you want.

• There are times when visualizations do work.
• What you are visualizing has to be in tune with your true path in life.
• I have faith that I’ll be led to what I need.
• Results with affirmations and visualizations will probably take longer than you want. You can’t control time.
• Learning how to wait is a useful skill to develop. I share a technique for doing this.
• Being in a hurry doesn’t work. You have to learn to deal with time.
• I discuss trying to “manifest” money, which involves other people’s behaviors.
• If you have a disappointment habit, your visualizations probably won’t work.
• You have to teach yourself how to feel satisfied—and safe.
• It’s important to get your feelings in the right place.
• Learning to manage money and cash flow is important if you want to create more money.
• I trust that whatever I’m going through is what I need to become who I’m becoming.
