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

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

And as we know, the expectant power of the mind is a wonderful thing – if you expect to succeed, you will! Particularly if you have a well thought out and {structured plan for your achievement, 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 perfect 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-satisfaction and having a feeling of success. Successfully toilet training a child can have the same level as satisfaction as making a deal with a client!

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

If possible, find pictures from magazines or the internet that best reflect 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 easy to change your clothes and style to match your vision – and use the pictures from Step 1 to help you fine-tune this style and get the right accessories. You can also observe 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: Act 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 behave like that NOW?

Changing the way you behave takes a little longer than the instant effect you get from changing your image – 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 mind through positive manifestation means that you will become the very success story you're imitating.
