Want to organize your business, plans, and ideas?  This is critical for entrepreneurs-- especially Defensive Entrepreneurs.  You can even use this approach to organize your life.  I have always made notes and listed ideas.  I have used post-it notes, napkins, index cards-- anything.  Now I use notebooks to visualize. 

Beyond writing notes and lists, I very often create visualizations of ideas and processes.  I use many different approaches:

• Flowcharts help me think about a process or system
• Timelines help me order projects
• Pie charts help me identify what's really important
• Network charts help me identify relationships, linkages, and connections
• Thumbnails help me invision layouts, ads, images

These are just a few ways I visualize . . .

Above is an image I used to organize the content of this very site.  While I am very analytical, I am predominently a right brain thinker and see things visually.  Getting it on paper helps develp ideas and allows me to show others my vision.  Even when I don't use actual pictures-- I try to develop "word pictures to help others "see" the idea.

As an entrepreneur, you should use visualization techniques to help you synthesize and simplify your ideas.  Use these techniques to help start your business, improve your established business, and branch your business out into other businesses (What is Multipreneuring?).

Visualize!
