“Vision / It reaches beyond the thing that is, into the conception of what can be. Imagination gives you the picture. Vision gives you the impulse to make the picture your own.” ~ Robert Collier
You may wonder what does having vision have anything to do with a home business. Or you may ask yourself, “What is it I have to see?”
Robert Collier captures the essence of the Law of Vision and if you can make this a reality in your home business, wondrous thing can happen for you.
Society as we know of it, consists of two kinds of people, those who can believe it before they can see it and those that have to see it to believe.
What’s the difference between the two?
Those that can believe it first, have vision for bringing things to reality. These people happen to account for a very small population of the world’s people.
These are entrepreneurs, home business owners, and successful all around people.
For those that need to see it first, they lack vision to bring forth reality. Although, they would like to have it.
How dare I say this, you ask? That’s because I was one of those people who thought like, “I’ll see it when I believe it.”
It held me back for years. And, one day I woke up and decided to change.
I never looked back.
When I decided to make this shift, I focused all of my energy on believing first. It wasn’t easy to do either, I’ll share with you what I did in a little bit.
When it came time to working the home business, I wasn’t getting any results.
I sucked at prospecting and recruiting. I was completely afraid of calling prospects and constantly thought what would they think of me.
Ever experienced that before?
I had no idea how to run a company let alone a home business.
All I knew how to do was to serve a customer, which came in very handy once I learned how to believe first.
What I did to learn how to have vision…
Did you have an experience growing up where you were told, “You can’t do that, you’ll mess up, that’s impossible, what makes you think you can do it, that only happens for some people, or stop doing that!”
I had a few of these, all the time from a lot of different people.
What I later learned in life was I was holding onto these self-limiting beliefs.
They were severely affecting my personal and professional life.
I had to let go of those self-limiting beliefs. Dr. Maxwell Maltz discovered this ages ago. What he taught me was I couldn’t let others beliefs impede me from having what I wanted.
For me that meant having vision.
So all of those things I was holding onto, I released it. I threw it out into the universe because all of this garbage that was stuck in my head was planted as result of someone elses limitations, not mine.
A short while after going through this, I began applying the law of vision to the home business.
I started with seeing my self as someone that was good at prospecting.
And as I began calling prospects, I felt more confident then ever. Others noticed it too.
Things were certainly on the up and up.
Now, I’m not big success story or anything, at least not yet, but every time I have applied it, it has worked like a gem.
When I find myself getting stuck, I look to the image I created. Was it one that supported where I was going or was it one that was holding me back?
Sometimes you have to find whatever it is that is holding you back in your home business and release it. Release that self-limiting belief and focus in on what it is you truly do want.
If you want to learn how to have the law of vision work in your favor, really ask yourself what is it that is holding you back.
And if you can let go, then you will be able to believe it before you can see that. This is what successful people do.
So if you want to be successful, then you better consider doing this. And do yourself a favor, don’t wait either.
Do it right way. Do it now! (insert Arnold Schwarzenegger’s voice here…)
It’s such a wonderful thing when you can believe it before it even comes true. It’s a remarkable feeling to have.
I’m confident it would be for you too.

Hi Jerome,
Vision is what I’m all about. I take a break every 45 minutes to fall back on my vision, painting the picture in detail.
LOL on the Ahhhnold voice, and it’s appropriate too. More than any other superstar Arnold constantly talked about seeing himself as a powerful person. The fact that he was the greatest bodybuilders of all time, one of the most popular film stars in history and governor of the largest state shows that holding a vision can do amazing things for you.
Thanks for sharing your story…keep visualizing!

You are absolutely right! That is the first thing I tell anyone wanting to start a home business, “setting your goals and then visualizing yourself there is the most important step to success.” Great post. I just found your blog and I will be a frequent reader now.
Thanks for visiting my friend.
Visualization is an absolute, given what we now know.
Have a great day and look forward to seeing you again,

Hi Maria,
That’s a great quote from Robert Collier.
Thanks for paying that forward to us.
Jerome Ratliff
Jerome mindset is of the utmost importance as we all know. Not only do we have to see it first we have to feel like we can achieve what we see. People will try this approach for awhile then claim it doesn’t work but the problem is they had a vision but didn’t really feel they could accomplish it. I heard a great quote once “dream as far as you can see THEN go further.” Sometimes we have to work our way up in steps.

Hey Jerome
Vision and the un-tapped power which lies within it.
I have had a constant vision of my future for a long time now. Only when I began to believe I could achieve my vision did things start to pull me towards it.
Great post brother.

Hi Jerome,
Loved the “insert Arnold Schwarzenegger’s voice here…”…
Yes from big visions come big things!
Being able to see something before it occurs is the secret to success and yet few hold the vision long enough for the vibration to manifest what they want.
Thanks for a great post.

Hi Jerome,
this is truly an amazing article. I once learned that 99 % of the universe is invisible. So the second half of people you are describing only sees 1 %. With desire, sense of importance, faith and belief and of course education and learning by boing – action – we’re training ourselve to see larger portions of the invisible. Keep up your great work.
Take care and thank you.
