Athletes and actors have been practicing visualization techniques for years with undeniable success. Leonardo Da Vinci referenced in his journal that he practiced learning by heart. After careful observation from multiple perspectives, he would draw a sketch of his subject. Later that night and early the next day he would review the image in his mind and compare it to his best drawing on the subject, until it was a perfect match. I feel that this process of memorization is exceptionally valuable. I am not talking about cramming information into your brain; I am speaking of true memorization, or as Leonardo would say- learning by heart.

The real question now becomes, what do you want to truly learn? I feel a good place to start is designing a picture of your business the way you ideally want it to be. Ironically, when we start a business, we often have a grand vision of how we want things to be, but as time progresses and reality sets in, our vision gets exposed to escalating levels of compromise. I believe this is because we get sucked into the daily minutia and lose sight of our ultimate goal. Granted, the original vision is bound to change, but it should only be improving for the better. After watching What The Bleep Do We Know and Down The Rabbit Hole the second time around, I finally grasp the science behind positive visualization. Quantum mechanics, which is simply the study of things at the subatomic level, provides us with what I believe to be undeniable proof that we as individuals are the predominate influencer of our reality. Furthermore, quantum mechanics has proved that when individuals collaborate over a common goal, that the collective energy greatly magnifies the intent. I am a big believer that time, energy, and creativity are the solvent to every problem and thus the solution to all things. Whatever problems you face in your business or even in your personal life, sometimes it’s good to step outside of your daily activities and refresh your picture of the way you want things to be in the ideal world. By truly learning your ideal state by heart, you will greatly improve the probability of achieving it; but first you have to accept the possibility of it happening.
