Have you ever created a vision board filled with dreams - but realized you've never actually experienced the things you were visualizing? In this episode, Kirsten Flory shared why it's so important to not just dream about success, but to touch it, feel it, and try it on before it becomes your reality.

From painting her kitchen table purple for Feng Shui prosperity, to test-driving luxury cars and walking through multimillion-dollar open houses, Kirsten reveals how small, intentional steps help you bring your goals closer. These experiences shift your mindset from "someday" to "I can see myself here now."

What you'll learn in this episode:

• Why visualization alone isn't enough for goal setting.
• How to "try on" your dreams through affordable (or free!) experiences
• Creative ways to get comfortable with luxury and success - even before you can afford it
• How proximity to successful people can accelerate your own business and life goals
• Practical ideas you can use today: from dining at upscale restaurants, to touring dream homes, to networking with the right people.

The more you immerse yourself in the lifestyle, opportunities, and experiences you're working toward, the more your brain knows exactly what to chase - and how to embrace success when it arrives.
