MONEY, METAPHOR, & MAGICAL THINKING: As far as the human brain is concerned,

money is one of the most powerful images in the world. It represents survival, pleasure, and
power.
But a young child's mind can only create fantasies of how to get it - i.e., magical thinking.
New research shows that thoughts and images generated by magical thinking are deeply
embedded in memory. They are the first to emerge when we visualize future wealth. We must
train our brain to forestall immediate gratification in order to work hard in creating a business
plan filled with proven strategies to make money. If you leave this part out, your vision board
will never come true.
So create a Strategy Board for every image on your vision board. Research shows that a
detailed written plan increases your chances of success by 50%. Just dreaming about it
actually lowers your chance of achieving goals.
Magical thinking and memory: distinctiveness effect for tv commercials with magical content.
