"If you’ve ever poked fun at someone—especially an entrepreneur–for creating a vision board as a way to picture success, you may not be laughing in a few minutes. A new study by TD Bank shows that small business owners use visualization—pictures and idea boards—to meet their entrepreneurial goals.
TD Bank surveyed more than 1100 people and 500 small business owners nationwide in December and January to learn about their “visualization practices.”  

• One in five small business owners used a vision board or other visual representation when starting their business; 76% of those business owners said that today their business is where they envisioned it would be when they started it.
• Eighty-two percent of small business owners that used a vision board from the get-go reported that they have accomplished more than half the goals they included on that board."

Here's the weekly non-vision board law of attraction story. You may remember ourpost awhile back about MMA fighter Connor Mcgreggor. 
Connor just recently became the undisputed Champ in his weight division by defeating someone who was undefeated for 10 years. 
The day after Conor’s victory in a post-match conference a journalist reminded Conor how he predicted not only the round in which he would win the fight, but also the exact manner of his victory down to the last detail. . . Conor’s reply blew me away. Click here to Listen for yourself:

"Holly Hold told FOX Sports just days out from her fight with Ronda Rousey that she visualized her victory hundreds of times and that it brought her to tears just thinking about it.

Those dreams became reality on Saturday night as she landed a thunderous left high kick that flattened Rousey just 59 seconds into the second round en route to becoming the new UFC women's bantamweight champion.

As it turns out, Holm saw a lot of different ways she could have gotten past Rousey, but the head kick was definitely one of the weapons she knew she had available in her arsenal and it paid off in a big way.

"I visualized that if the head kick was there to go for it," Holm said at the UFC 193 post-fight press conference. "We didn't want to go out of our way searching for it and force it. She comes straight forward and with your legs in the air with someone coming straight forward, you can be off balance, things like that so there's times to use them, times to not. If it was there I wanted to take it and it was there."

One of the most successful female skiers in history, Lindsey Vonn, the gold medalist says her mental practice of visualization gives her a competitive advantage on the course.

"I always visualize the run before I do it," Vonn told MindBodyGreen. "By the time I get to the start gate, I've run that race 100 times already in my head, picturing how I'll take the turns.

Here's the weekly law of attraction story about Kerri Walsh Jennings and April Ross .The most successful female beach volleyball team in history — say they often rely on meditation, yoga and visualization to stay focused in the sand.

And with three Olympic gold medals under their belts, they might be on to something.

"A lot of what we do is visualization," Walsh told USA TODAY. "To be able to ... take in the sights, the sounds, the stress, the excitement — that's going to serve us really well moving forward."

U.S. women's soccer team had an amazing performance during Sunday's win over Japan. The team was led by star player Carli Lloyd who credits visualization and the practice of positive thinking, with helping her kill it on the soccer field. 

While training just before Sunday’s game, Lloyd said she mentally visualized herself scoring four goals. She later went on to nail three into the net — the first woman in World Cup history to do so. Click here for the full story

UFC fighter James Krause used the law of attraction to complete three bucket list items in one night:
make $100,000, fight in another country, and have his first UFC win.

Before he was famous, Jim Carey wrote himself a check for $10,000,000 for "Acting services rendered" and dated it for Thanksgiving 1995. Then he placed the check in his wallet and kept it there. . He would park his car on the famous Mulholland Drive every single night and visualize having directors interested in him and people he respected saying "I like your work".Just before Thanksgiving 1995 Jim Carey found out he would be receiving $10,000,000 for his role in Dumb and Dumber. He talked about his story while on The Oprah Winfrey Show.
