Mental Auditions
Auditions are what you play out inside your thoughts on how you are going to work toward your chosen goals. They are literally rehearsals for what is to come, although you get to try several different ways of going about things to get to your aim. You literally audition each idea that springs to mind on how you can make the improvements in your life that you want to work toward the ones that you like best, you keep on a short list and those you don't like, you discard!
These mental auditions are the breeding ground for the ideas that will take you to the next level of your development. So make sure you give each idea a decent trial before choosing to keep or discard it.
Mental Rehearsal
Rehearsing ideas in your mind is no new kind of strategy. In fact it is something that has been used many times in the past by many people who were overcoming handicaps and working toward a definite end. It is used successfully in training Olympic athletes off the track and field by getting them to rehearse their race or event in their minds. Tests were done by hooking test subjects up to sophisticated monitors and it was revealed that the athletes had their muscles fire in exactly the same way as when they were running the event for real.
Great businessmen in all ages have used this method to create ideas on how they would take their businesses to ever greater heights. The richest men in the world in every generation have become rich by using mental idea auditioning and rehearsal and then putting those ideas into practice. That's how they got so rich while the majority of people stayed poor.
That's what sets successful people apart from unsuccessful people. The ability to generate profitable and successful ideas and then use them to their advantage!
