The success industry has turned into a huge machine, creating a growing number of books, videos, audios and workshops, all promising big and quick success, without any effort.
All these products create a sense of euphoria and great expectations, but often, they also create frustration.
The producers of many of these products make great promises, and tell you that all you need to succeed is just a little of your time.
Sometimes, all you have to do is just repeat a few affirmations or visualize a goal a few minutes a day, and you will soon enjoy great success and the fulfillment of your dreams.
- Can this be true?
- Does everyone who reads book, watches a video or participates in the workshop become a great success?
In spite of all these products and promises, how many really succeed? How many really successful people there are, in relation to the entire population? Is the success industry right?
Don’t misunderstand me. I believe in the power of the mind. I have written articles and books on this topic, but I also believe in common sense and in being practical.
The Tools for Success
Creative visualization and the law of attraction are useful tools that work when used correctly.
There are good and useful books and courses available. Here, I am speaking about the growing tendency of making great promises and the tendency to oversimplify things.
I am sure you have bought and read more than one book, audio or video about achieving success. How many of these products have you read, listened to, or watched? And more important, have you followed and implemented the instructions?
There is a great distance between experiencing a feeling of elation, which people often experience when they are first introduced to these topics, to actually using the techniques, persevering and then getting results.
In order to gain real results with creative visualization and the law of attraction you need constant motivation, will power, self-discipline and persistence.
It is true, sometimes, due to certain factors one might attain quick results, but quite often one will have to act and do things, not just visualize.
Highly successful people are not mere daydreamers, they visualize, they believe in their vision, but they also act in the real world, and they do things to make their dreams come true.
- Do you really believe that a few minutes a day of visualizing or affirming are going to completely transform your life?
- Can you speak a foreign language in 30 days, while studying for just a few minutes a day?
- Can you develop great muscles in two weeks, exercising just 10 minutes a day?
- Can you build a thriving and successful business in 30 days, without any knowledge about the business and without the right preparation?
- Did the successful people build their fortune by doing nothing, except of visualizing for 5 minutes a day? No, their success required work, time and effort.
Affirmations and visualization can change your life. They can create success.
If what you want is something small, you might manifest it quite fast, but if it is something bigger, it might require more time.
Visualization and affirmations require frequent repetitions, day after day. Sometimes, things might manifest fast or in an unexpected manner, but more often, this might involve effort, study, and working in the real world.
Opportunities will appear, but you will have to take advantage of them, and be willing to do whatever is required to make what you want come true.
The thing is that not everyone is willing and ready invest time and effort in achieving success, except daydream a little. Laziness, lack of initiative and a weak desire do not create success. Not everyone is willing and ready to make the required changes or sacrifices in his/her life in order to achieve success.
Not everyone really desires great success, lots of money or becoming a businessman or businesswomen.
Most people would prefer a quiet, but comfortable life. Not everyone is fit for business or desires to run or own a business.

Often, there is a subconscious resistance to become successful, and one might, without even knowing it, sabotage his or her chances. This means that you have to look often deeply inside your mind, to find the source of the resistance.
You need also to keep affirming and visualizing until the subconscious mind accepts the new thoughts. Then, doors will open, and new ideas and opportunities would knock at your door.
When the doors open and the opportunities arrive, you will have to do something them. You will need to take advantage of them, be active and enter the doors that open for you.
Are you willing to make the necessary effort and devote the required time to succeed?
