How to Coach Yourself and Others Better Coaching Through Visualisation | Page 85

Continue with this way and your present reality will be again
identified with the original one.
You must maintain your course at all costs. When a difficulty crops
up, deal with it in a positive way.
To illustrate this fact that may seem obscure, we will take the
example of a sailor. A weak breeze slowly pushes his boat towards
his destination harbour: Athens. Suddenly, an adverse wind blows
up. An unskilled sailor can choose to go towards the closest harbour.
In fact, an experienced sailor knows that he can use this wind as a
lever. He adapts his sail. He beats windward and he knows he will
reach Athens quicker than if he were pushed by a weak breeze.
4.10 Lesson summary
The first and most important step for starting a business is to create
your own vision.
Your vision is what you want to become. Vision commits your
personality. It answers the question: "what do you want to do with
your life ? What is your mission ?"
Using your vision, you should create your success image. The
success image is once again a mental image, like the image resource.
Instead of describing a past event that you had experienced, the
success image describes a future event that you would like to
experience.
The goal of the success image is to provide with a tool that you will
constantly use for implementing your vision in your subconscious.
You have now to implement in your subconscious this success
image. That is the core job and once again it needs a bit of training.
You must absolutely maintain your genuine vision and its goals.
When a difficulty crops up, deal with it in a positive way. Never
downgrade your vision!
