Before you can achieve your goals, you need to see them clearly. Visualization is a powerful tool used by successful artists and athletes alike.
Why Visualization Works
When you visualize your success in detail, your brain starts to recognize opportunities that align with that vision. It's not magic—it's focus.
A fan needs to get a certain feeling with your band, but they also need to recognize it. That is where visualization comes in. Let's take Nike as an example. You get a certain feeling when you buy Nikes, but at the same time, you recognize the swoosh because of the logo. That logo represents the brand Nike. How are you going to visualize your brand in images, photos, and videos? When you start thinking about your brand, you also think about your identity. Your identity consists of a few things, such as Artist Name, Logo, Photos, Stage performance, Tone of voice, sound, and online presence.
