What’s in it for me? Visualize your financial success and it will happen.

When you imagine your perfect future, what do you see? Do you see a massive house in a beautiful area, a huge, shiny car maybe with a personal chauffeur? That would be nice! But you’ll never get there, will you?

Whatever dream life you may wish for, you probably accept that it will remain just that, a dream. Real prosperity and wealth is never going to happen, unless you discover a long lost billionaire aunt, or win the lottery.

But you’re wrong. You can become prosperous – and wealth is relatively straightforward to achieve. All you need to do is learn the steps and thinking needed. And where can you discover these? Start by reading these blinks.

In these blinks you’ll discover

why merely thinking about your dream life can bring you one step closer to it;
why everyone needs to learn about the miracle of compound interest; and
why you need to start hoarding pictures of your dream house.

Live a prosperous life in just three steps: define your goals, put them together and constantly visualize them.

It’s natural for everybody to want a life full of success, happiness and prosperity. But what does that really mean? What makes a life prosperous?

Find out for yourself by drawing what’s called a prosperity picture, a visual representation of what you desire from life both now and down the line. It just takes three simple steps.

Step one – define your goals. Start by asking yourself what you want today, in the near future and the long term. What does your life look like? Where are you? What smells surround you? Which people?

Once you’ve answered these questions find photos that reflect your desires. For instance, if you see a picture of your dream house or car make sure to hold on to it.

Step two – bring your goals together and make them easier to visualize. Start with a blank sheet of paper on which you draw a future prosperity picture frame: First draw a horizontal axis labeled “time frame” that runs from the present into the distant future. Then draw a vertical axis labeled “finance” that runs from not very much money at the bottom to great wealth at the top.

Once you’ve got your picture frame, divide it into four squares, each of which represents a different combination of money and time. Now you can start attaching pictures that represent your goals into each box based on how much money they will require and when you want to achieve them by.

For example, your dream house might be way off in the far upper quadrant because it’s going to take a lot of both time and money to make it a reality.

Step three – keep your eyes on your vision and constantly picture it. Remember, you’ve just created something that could transform your life. Don’t toss it in a drawer and forget about it. Make a point of seeing it constantly so it reminds you what you’re working for every single day.

Turn your personal vision of prosperity into a reality by preparing your subconscious with the power of visualization.

Alright, so a prosperity picture is nice but how do you make it a reality? The first step is to prepare your brain for the future you desire and that means believing it’s possible. To achieve this it’s necessary to use visualization, because simply visualizing your goals will bring them closer.

How?

Finances are key to your future and the first step to reaching your goals of financial well-being is determining your current net worth.

OK, so visualizing your goals can help you realize them, but not without the money necessary. So it’s also key to start planning.

While most people don’t like to consider finances, success depends on getting them under control. That’s because without making financial considerations and plans, living the life you want will be an impossibility. For instance, the parents of Jim, one of the author’s clients, had a classic picture of retirement: they were going to sell their house, buy an RV and head out on the open road.

Realizing your dream life begins with prep work: getting rid of debt and securing a safety net.

OK, now that you know your current financial state you’re ready to plan a path to your prosperity picture. The first step is getting rid of your debt.

We all know that debts can accumulate in all sorts of ways from mortgages to car payments but one of the most pernicious debts is that from credit cards. That’s because they can creep up on you and the option to spend now and pay later can make big problems.

A successful trip on the road to the prosperity requires a smart spending plan, coupled with the miracle of compound interest.

Even if you earn an above average salary you might find yourself with not much left to spend at the end of the month. Well, you’re not alone. But you can change this situation and boost your net worth. It all begins with controlling your spending.

Start by writing a spending plan. First determine your net income, everything you earn after taxes. Then make a list of all your expense and organize them into groups. For instance, healthcare, housing, transportation, education, children, personal, entertainment and so on.

If you want to reach prosperity sooner, consider investments like certificates of deposits, bonds and stock funds.

So, you’ve got the tools to accomplish most dreams but not all dreams are small and time is not always on your side. Don’t want to wait 25 years to reach your goals? Don’t worry. Just use short-term investment strategies.

That means going beyond savings accounts and considering other options. For instance, certificates of deposits are an investment tool that require you to commit to keeping your money invested for a fixed time period, generally five to six years. While they afford you less flexibility than savings accounts they pay higher interest which increases the longer your money stays put.

Ich bin begeistert. Ich liebe Bücher aber durch zwei kleine Kinder komme ich einfach nicht zum Lesen. Und ja, viele Bücher haben viel bla bla und die Quintessenz ist eigentlich ein Bruchteil.

Genau dafür ist Blinkist total genial! Es wird auf das Wesentliche reduziert, die Blinks sind gut verständlich, gut zusammengefasst und auch hörbar! Das ist super. 80 Euro für ein ganzes Jahr klingt viel, aber dafür unbegrenzt Zugriff auf 3000 Bücher. Und dieses Wissen und die Zeitersparnis ist unbezahlbar.

Extrem empfehlenswert. Statt sinnlos im Facebook zu scrollen höre ich jetzt täglich zwischen 3-4 "Bücher". Bei manchen wird schnelle klar, dass der Kauf unnötig ist, da schon das wichtigste zusammen gefasst wurde..bei anderen macht es Lust doch das Buch selbständig zu lesen. Wirklich toll

Nils S.

Einer der besten, bequemsten und sinnvollsten Apps die auf ein Handy gehören. Jeden morgen 15-20 Minuten für die eigene Weiterbildung/Entwicklung oder Wissen.

Julia P.

Viele tolle Bücher, auf deren Kernaussagen reduziert- präzise und ansprechend zusammengefasst. Endlich habe ich das Gefühl, Zeit für Bücher zu finden, für die ich sonst keine Zeit habe.
