He thought about quitting.\u00a0\u00a0<br />\r\n<br />\r\nInstead, he decided to write himself a check for \u201cActing Services Rendered\u201d for $10 million.\u00a0 The check was dated for 3 years in advance and Carey decided he would continue working like hell to get there.\u00a0\u00a0<br />\r\n<br />\r\nThree years later - almost to the day - Carey got a call from his agent.\u00a0 He got the part for Dumb and Dumber, which would pay him out roughly $10 million.\u00a0\u00a0<br />\r\n<br />\r\nIt\u2019s an amazing story that brings up two points.\u00a0<br />\r\n<br />\r\nThe first, obvious point is that visualization can work.\u00a0 Napolean Hill once said \u201cWhat the mind can conceive, the mind can achieve.\u201d\u00a0 You can find tons of stories from business people, artists, and athletes that use visualization in their daily work.\u00a0 It\u2019s helped me in my sales career, with my writing and in my hobby for running marathons.\u00a0\u00a0<br />\r\n<br />\r\nThe second, less obvious point is that for visualization to work, you need to work.\u00a0 Carey says \u201cYou can\u2019t visualize and then go eat a sandwich\u201d.\u00a0 And he\u2019s right.\u00a0\u00a0<br />\r\n<br />\r\nSpend some time this morning visualizing what you want - what you really want.\u00a0<br />\r\n<br />\r\nAnd then get to work.\u00a0<br />\r\n<br />\r\n<br />\r\nThis post is from our new series, Daily Momentum.\u00a0 Each morning, we send a short, inspirational post via email, blog and podcast.\u00a0 You can get it\u00a0directly to your email here.\u00a0 You can\u00a0subscribe on iTunes here.<br />\r\n\u00a0","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/84060626-235a-42dc-9a40-a1eead6830e0/eAA1TPwy9oTcEamuijU4gpev.png"}
