Exciting goals motivate. Reasonable goals may not.
Create A Treasure Map
- Buy a large piece of white or colored cardboard and attach the pictures.
- Hang the finished collage in your work space where it will inspire you.
(You can always hide it in your closet when guests drop by.)
The Smart Goals Binder
If you find the idea of a treasure map collage too childish or embarrassing, you can keep your treasure map pictures in a binder.
- Attach each picture onto a separate sheet of paper and insert the pages in the binder.
- Remember to look at the binder every day to remind your subconscious what you're aiming for.
Your subconscious recognizes that the goal exists in reality because someone has photographed it.
All that's left to do is attract it into your life.
Collecting pictures of your goals and displaying them in a treasure map brings them one step closer to materialization.

Your Newspaper Headline
Another popular alternative to a treasure map is creating a newspaper or magazine article on your computer that celebrates your meteoric rise to the top, complete with a flattering photograph of yourself. In the article you describe how you implemented the strategy outlined in your goal-setting exercise (or business plan), resulting in your outstanding success. Attach the printed article to your notice board to inspire you.
Mock-Up Awards
Another variation on the treasure map theme is the one mentioned by Mark Victor Hansen in his radio interview with Mike Litman, included in the book, Conversations With Millionaires. Mark describes how he and co-author Jack Canfield motivated themselves when the first Chicken Soup for the Soul book was published.
Mark and Jack got a copy of the New York Times bestseller list and pasted their names, along with the title of their book, in the number one position. Then they attached a copy of the modified list to each of their bathroom mirrors, in order to imbed the concept in their subconscious minds. Eventually, reality caught up with them and the book series became one of the most successful in publishing history.
Which list do you want to top?
Which awards do you want to win?
Which trophies do you want on your shelves?
