And it has been so incredible in terms of assisting me to do my business. So the power of visualisation. Anyone who’s been an athlete knows that mental rehearsal is a very powerful tool, it works great for business building as well, it works great before you have a meeting with someone to picture your ideal outcome, to picture the business you want to flow in. It doesn’t mean you just picture it and don’t do anything…”
