If you’re not exercising your imagination, you’re missing out on the main ingredient of success. Today, Donna Kunde and Londina Cruz crack open why imagination is the true launching pad for building the life and business you want, and how you can start putting it to work for you, right now.

Imagination isn’t just for daydreamers. It’s what sets the successful apart. If all you rely on is what you already know, your potential stays limited. But when you start using your imagination—consciously and intentionally—you build new possibilities, create future memories, and change the way you act and react in all aspects of your life.

What You Need to Know

• Imagination is the starting point of all success, even more important than knowledge.
• “The theater of your mind” is real; you are always watching a movie in your head. The genre is up to you.
• You can consciously shift your inner script at any moment, moving from destructive to creative imagination.
• Brain, mind, and body are connected—visualizing your future can literally change your wiring and even influence your DNA.

What You Need to Do

• Make imagination an intentional daily exercise. Start small, with 1 to 5 minutes a day, and work up to 30 minutes.
• Think about your “mind movie” and choose the genre you want to live.
• Visualize yourself as your future self—who you want to be, what you want to achieve. Use all your senses, and allow yourself to feel it in your body.
• Do this in whatever way suits you best: walking, sitting, eyes open or closed. Consistency is more important than method.
