By imaging what success looks like to you and then mimicking this success now, the expectant power of the brain through positive affirmation means that you will manifest the very success vision you're imitating.

To imitate success is a prime example of positive affirmation and the expectant power of the brain. By imitating success, you project the vision of success to your colleagues and most importantly, to yourself.

And as we know, the expectant power of the brain is a magical thing - if you expect to succeed, you will! Particularly if you have a well thought out and {developed plan for your success, which of course you can gain from the goal setting process.

So how do you imitate success?

Step 1: Know what your success looks like. Close your eyes and imagine yourself in your dream job and doing what you would be doing if you were successful. What do you look like? What are you wearing? What are you doing? How are you [acting?

And remember that success is not material possessions or objects - it's about your self-fulfilment and having a feeling of success. Successfully toilet training ...
... a child can have the same level as fulfilment as closing a deal with a customer!

Having a mental image of what success is to you is an effective way of having something to strive towards - and more importantly, this image is what you need to imitate as much as possible to start the ball rolling.

If possible, find pictures from magazines or the internet that best match your vision of success and use these as a guide for the next steps of success imitation.

Step 2: Look like your vision of success. What do you look like in your vision of success? How can you look like that NOW?

It's simple to change your wardrobe and style to match your vision - and use the pictures from Step 1 to assist you fine-tune this style and get the right accessories. You can also watch other people that seem to fit your success image and get advice from retailers. It's all about getting 'the look'.

Other aspects of your look may be harder to change - perhaps you're a little slimmer in your image? But you can work towards achieving these aspects by setting goals. So no excuses - make yourself look like your vision of success!

Step 3: Behave like your vision of success. What were you doing in your vision of success? How were you behaving? And what habits do you need to change or develop to be able to act like that NOW?

Changing the way you act takes a little longer than the instant effect you get from changing your style - but it can be achieved. And this is where positive manifesting helps by saying out aloud [repeatedly and with conviction] the behaviour you want to develop.

Step 4: Believe in your success. Yes - back to the power of positive thinking again! But if you believe in yourself and believe that you can really be a success - then it CAN happen! Use goal setting and action plans to guide you there, and start living like you're already there!

So by visualising what success looks like to you and then mimicking this success, the expectant power of the brain through positive affirmation means that you will become the very success story you're imitating.
