Priming the Pump of Your Visionary Success

Let's say that you've identified a positive vision that's important to you, and you're looking for key factors that will help you bring that dream to life. The following suggestions may help prime the pump of your visionary success:

Recall a time when you had a vision of something that you wanted to do and you accomplished it. What elements were most responsible for your success? How might you apply those factors today?

Pick out a historical figure, a great artist, a spiritual leader, or another well-known person whom you admire and consider a visionary thinker. What is it about this person's thoughts, words, and actions that seems to make such a difference?

Interview two people who, in your opinion, have done a great job of bringing their visions to life. See what you can learn; try to identify some keys to their success that also might work for you.
