their imagination to work in productive ways. As the leader, you experience the feeling of control because you are the person who took the initiative and the risk to create something from nothing.

You are living in an age that is making it possible for you to experience prosperity anytime and any place. You can reach out and touch most parts of the world without leaving your home. The old, limited ways of thinking have been replaced by new unbounded ways of thinking that have changed the lives of millions of people.

You can experience this prosperity by using your inborn imagination and creativity to make a difference in the world. Developing creative ideas is the only way that you can prosper on your own terms – exactly as you visualize.

One idea always leads to many other ideas.

The more ideas, inventions, and insights you create, the more ideas you will continue to find – the opportunities that exist are endless. As one opportunity dries up – look around, you will quickly see other ideas that rush to the forefront. Keep your eyes open for connections that everyone, but the most astute observer, completely misses. Look for ideas in your industry; outside your industry; at the mall; at work; at home.

You build confidence in the quality of your ideas.

Having a supply of ideas fosters complete and unshakeable confidence in your ability to shape your destiny. Your confidence in yourself will be so high that you will feel as though you will prosper no matter what happens.

The more ideas you actualize the more confidence you will build and before long you will become a self-perpetuating idea generating machine. You lose the uncertainty of whether or not you will succeed – you have an inner knowing and you realize that it is only a matter of time before you realize your dream.

You decide your focus.

You move at your own speed. You prioritize the opportunities that you want to pursue. You position yourself to multiply your gains by simultaneously working and coordinating many ideas. Your challenge becomes figuring out which ideas “not” to pursue because you have so many.

Your mind is a storehouse of ideas and opportunities.

Think about a storehouse where all types of supplies are kept. Imagine that you have unlimited access to this storehouse. You have the key, which means that at anytime you can

unlock the door and enter into unlimited abundance and prosperity – whenever you choose to. Just like the storehouse, you have a world of opportunity and abundance within you right now. Take the key, enter your storehouse and prepare to prosper.

This is not idle fantasy; you are literally living in an abundant universe where you can speak your loftiest dreams and visions into existence. At any moment, you can decide to access your storehouse and choose among thousands of opportunities and ideas to pursue.

Your storehouse is the unlimited nature of your mind and all of the creative and imaginative resources within. Your energy, creativity, and persistence will determine how abundant and overflowing your storehouse will become.

You create the life you want by the ideas you decide to pursue.

An even more powerful point is that no one can access your storehouse of opportunities and ideas. You and you alone have access, which means that if you fail to step into your storehouse, you are not only depriving yourself of the benefits but you are also depriving thousands or even millions of other people from receiving the benefit of your ideas and opportunities as well.

Remember the following key points:

• You can create anything that you can imagine.
• Your destiny lies in how you develop and use your imagination.
• As an idea creator you can become the master of your future.
