📖 From a book called The Time Paradox, by Philip Zimbardo and John Boyd…
In research examining students studying for midterms and coping with stressful events, psychologist Shelley Taylor and her research team found that those who practiced mental rehearsal and focused on what they needed to do to succeed enhanced their performance more often than those whose mental rehearsal focused strictly on the outcome they desired.
People who rehearsed the steps that they needed to take in order to get good grades and to deal with stressful experiences did better than people who imagined themselves getting good grades and alleviating stress.
When you focus on the process of achieving your goal rather than imagining the end product of your efforts, your chance of success will increase.
So instead of visualizing what your life will look like once you have a successful business, try to visualize the day-to-day of building that successful business.
What would your typical day look like along the way? 🤔
