Act as If

The strategy of success to Act “as if” you already are where you want to be, helps you to find creative ways to achieve your goals.

You’ve made the plan. You’ve had the vision. You daydream about it.

Now it’s time to start walking the walk and talking the talk, and living the life as if it were entirely your reality.

Let’s say for example your dream is to be an Interior designer.  Join the groups, clubs, and associations that these people belong to.  Subscribe to the newsletters and online groups that include participants in that profession.  You need to BE what you dream about being, and no one, or nothing is going to suddenly wave a wand and get you dressed for the ball like you can do for yourself.

You can wait around for that to happen, but I do believe my plan is more likely to get you where you need to be faster. This doesn’t mean you front yourself without necessary credentials or qualifications of course, but you do start to live and believe in the reality of the lifestyle and career that you want for yourself.

If you do need certifications or further education, NOW is the time that you should be enrolling in those courses.  Perhaps you can’t do it because of finances, then start to research supplemental income to save towards that goal, or look into financial aid so that you are registered for next quarter. You need to have your plan written down and scheduled out so that it becomes part of your new daily life.

These are just some suggestions, but there are endless creative ways to become involved in the career that you want.  Aside from the above suggestions, you can volunteer, take a part time job, start to blog or journal about your findings as a person who is in this position.

This is where the dream and vision start to blend to become your reality.

You’ve likely heard the term “fake it til you make it.” That’s what this is about; leaning into the role you ultimately want to play. Doing so sends a powerful signal to the universe that you are READY for your dreams to manifest!
