What if you could be the person you see yourself as in the future? Becoming that person means closing the gap between the present you and the future you. But how do we do that? In this episode, we\u2019ll discuss a few simple steps to help you close the gap and become the best version of yourself. \u201cStart becoming who you want to be now. That is the fastest way to get from where you are to where you want to be. In order to get to where you want to be, you need to start acting like you\u2019re there already. That is the secret you need to figure out how you want to create the reality you want in your life.\u201d ~ @avanimiriyala Main Takeaways 1. See and define the future you The first thing to do is to see yourself where you want to be and what you want to do with your life (and business). Define your future self because the only way to close the gap is to know what gap there is from the present you to the future you. 2. Inspect and upgrade Inspect and upgrade things that are happening in your life (and business). Are the things you\u2019re doing right now the same things you think you will be doing in the future? If not, upgrade your routine. 3. Prioritize taking care of yourself Self-care is the most common thing people miss out on, especially when things get busy. Treat yourself the way you deserve and you\u2019ll feel like the best version of yourself. 4. Learn to delegate It\u2019s time to become the leader you\u2019re supposed to be and delegating responsibilities to your team will help you focus on your goals.  5. Start becoming your version 2.0 Update your look and wardrobe to what you think the next version of yourself will look like. Set aside a budget for this because looking at yourself as version 2.0 makes you feel like you\u2019re getting there. Embody the person you see in the future. 6. It\u2019s all about how you want to feel Ask yourself how you want to feel running your business. Feel and embody those feelings and believe it will become your reality. The best way to attract abundance is to sit with those feelings.
