I was listening to Moe Ansari yesterday and something he said bears repeating; it's a semi well kept secret and a tool some of the most successful (at their trades) use from time to time. Usually I can hardly stand much of Ansari (sales pitches, etc.) but this was good.
Hazard a guess? Everyone possesses it; many use it regularly although few in the way Ansari meant.
I'll get back to that at the end.
This time of year I try to look/learn from the past and see what the future looks like. What is even more interesting is looking back over the last two decades. Where will you twenty somethings be 20 yrs from now? What will you have done with your time? When I graduated High School we had yet to use email in school, over that summer of '94 it would become ~ necessity that incoming college freshmen correspond with their schools via email - in somewhat of a blink the world had changed (at least in my eyes). Cell phones; wealthy business people had them; our vocabulary changed a bit too see aforementioned "business people" instead of men...
So what will you make of your time? Regret not and forge ahead! Happy New Year indeed, better stated: Prospero Ano.
Ansari was speaking about wealth management strategy and the integral pieces to it that don't relate specifically to stocks/investing (here, Planning). He asked a simple question, what will it look like when you get there? I've done imagery like this before, the more specific the better. Try it on a small scale at the next task you see challenging and have some apprehension about; imagine yourself succeeding, see it, feel it, then do it; it works. Ignore or challenge negative thoughts.
Good luck if you try. I need to practice it more; not easy, but rewarding.
Ever made a vision board? I was amazed how many things from it appeared in some form or another.
