Take Advice From People Who Have Actually Done It

I know some people will believe in visualisation and manifestation and others will not.

It is a subject I include in the book because I have personally found it useful.

At its simplest, it means being positive about the move you are trying to make.

Imagine yourself in the next property.

Think about the date you want to move, the price you need and the sale progressing successfully.

But there is one very important point.

Visualisation is not a substitute for action.

When my family moved, we had a firm deadline because our daughters needed to start at their new school.

We pictured ourselves making the move on time and achieving the price we needed.

But we also did the work.

We put a large amount of furniture into storage and presented the house almost like a show home.

We prepared properly and stayed focused on the outcome.

We found the buyer we needed and moved on the date we had planned.

Whether you call that visualisation, positive thinking or simply staying focused on a goal, the important thing is that the mindset is accompanied by practical action, and not being afraid to take advice.

Thinking positively while doing nothing is unlikely to sell your home.

Thinking positively while following a clear plan is a very different thing.
