The second step of the SPEC method is to Project it.

Helene Hadsell used visualization as her number one tool to get what she wanted but there is more than one way to skin a cat.

Visualization is not necessarily something that comes easy to all of us and oftentimes it leads to so many questions pertaining to whether we are doing it well or not, which can be very frustrating and discouraging.

Visualization is a powerful tool. I remember watching Tony Robbins on YouTube once and he was talking with two other self-made millionaires. He was emphasizing the power of visualization.

He gave a great example of the power of the mind. A study was made where they took a group of basketball players and tried to improve their free-throw shooting percentage.

They divided those basketball players into three groups.

One group was shooting countless free throws for 6 weeks in each practice. One group was not shooting free throws at all for 6 weeks.

One group was not shooting free throws as well but they were asked to visualize making perfect free throws in their minds.

After these 6 weeks period they tested all three groups to see who had the better shooting percentage and the group who had visualized ended having better success than the other two groups.

Jack Niklaus is widely regarded as the greatest golfer of all time, even ahead of Tiger Woods. He is the only golfer to have ever won 18 PGA majors.

Jack is known to have visualized every single shot he ever made, including those made in practice. That’s one of the reasons why he was so successful.
