Jim Carrey's $10 Million Visualization
"Comedian Jim Carrey is living proof that this works. In 1995, he was paid $10,000,000 twice for making movies. In his interview with Barbara Walters, he revealed that he had written a check to himself several years before for $10,000,000 with a a description on the bottom 'for services rendered as an actor by 1995.' He carried that check with him in his wallet for years, saw himself getting paid that amount and achieved it. You can do the same thing."

“FIRED UP!” PRINCIPLE # 30 – Create a Dream Collage
A dream collage, or treasure map, as some call it, is a visual representation of your completed successful dream. It is a terrific way to stay Fired Up!” about it. It starts with colored poster board or foam-core, perhaps covered with your favorite colored wrapping paper. You paste up pictures and words that represent your fully achieved dream on this board. You can create these images, cut them from magazines and newspapers or use photographs you have taken. A combination of all these things would be great, too. One of the most important elements of your dream collage is that your picture is on it – put yourself in the dream living it to make it seem more real and personal.
Schedule an entire morning, afternoon or evening for this activity, because it is fun and engrossing. You’ll be amazed at how real your dream becomes and how “Fired Up!” you get looking at it. Here’s what you need to get started:
• A large piece of poster board or foamcore.
• Tape or glue.
• Magazines with the topics and themes that reflect your dream.
• Construction paper and markers to make words and pictures.
• A photo of yourself.
• A pair of scissors.
• Your imagination.
The collage in the upper left hand corner of this page is of one of the people who attended Snowden's keynotes and went on to become a $6 million Avon representative.
