Can you achieve what you don’t imagine?

The moment you can imagine what success looks and feels like is the moment that it becomes attainable.

Details matter. Trust me, I used to be a project manager and the devil is definitely in those pesky details.

But there are so many details! It’s overwhelming. You need a short list!

Recipe for a short list:

Spend a little time each day focused on your intention for a successful outcome and imagine it already complete. Your brain has an amazing ability to respond to this brief imagining by showing you every detail that currently puts that intention in jeopardy.

There’s your short list. Do that and ignore the rest until tomorrow.
