Absolutely, I mean you've got to celebrate the victories you have in life and being alive is a victory to start.

That's like victory one, boom!

What we're doing is we're breaking down characteristics of super successful people.

Over the next seven shows, these are common denominators that I've noticed amongst super successful people.

And because I pretty much only interact with successful people, I thought you know what I'm going to do?

I'm going to go and start writing down things on my notepad as I observe them and I'm going to write it down.

And then I'm going to do a seven part series about them because some of the things are obvious. Some of them are not obvious.

Some of the things are obvious to me but not obvious to everybody else.

And so here's Character Attribute number five, I see, of super successful people.

While also creating General Electric, he says, here, genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.

But I think he already saw himself as the inventor of the light bulb before he was.

I think he already saw himself as the creator of a huge company before he was.

And so he just put forth the work effort, the work ethic needed to deliver on that mental vision he had for himself.

I'm going to start with you Z. Do you ever do that? Do you visualize yourself? You've already done it when you started a project.

Do you ever say, okay, auto auction, I'm starting it, but I already know in my mind how it's going to be once it gets big.

And then you just, how does that visualization work for you?
