In one of Nike's motivational videos entitled "Jumprope", the idea of visualizing past successes and envisioning future results is very powerfully illustrated! We see a hooded figure from the back vigorously working out at jumping rope; then we see a young man's face from the front, as he jumps, recalling the success he's experienced surfing as a boy, and then envisioning himself as a professional surfer in the future, succeeding in various wave jumps,.
I'll give you an example from my own life of how re-living past achievement and envisioning future successes made a difference. As a college student, I sold educational books and Bibles door to door; like jump roping, selling books was a vigourous workout! Achieving top 10% in the company, I was asked to train others to follow in my footsteps.
Here's how I would encourage my organization to envision their future success. When laying down to sleep the night before, I would tell my team to envision the first sales call of the next morning: walking up to the door with a big smile, greeting "Mrs. Jones", receiving her invitation to come in, listening and seeing the benefits of the educational material for her family, and then writing a check! This kind of anticipation made that first door the next morning so much easier... and it worked! The Nike motivational video 'Jumprope' captures the same excitement!
