USING AFFIRMATIONS
“write it 15 times. your brain will tune.”
The Lesson
Affirmations work by writing or repeating a specific goal 15 times daily. Format: "I, [your name], will [specific goal]." The key is visualization. Imagine seeing the result. Why does it work? Not magic. Possibilities: (1) Tuning your brain to notice opportunities (like the "lucky" people who see the shortcut others miss). (2) Revealing what you're truly committed to. If you can't write it 15 times, you don't really want it. (3) Programming your filter on reality to make opportunities more visible. It costs nothing to try. If it works, it changes everything.
Real-World Example
A founder struggling to raise a seed round starts writing: "I, [name], will close a $2M seed round." Daily. 15 times. Within weeks, she notices: a podcast where an investor mentions what they look for, an intro she'd ignored in her inbox, a conference she'd dismissed. Same world, different filter. The affirmations didn't change reality. They changed what she noticed in reality.
