JANUS is a VISUALISATION technique that

ANYONE can use to improve their circumstances

JANUS is easy to LEARN - the first 3 chapters of the book explain all the principles, with lots of exercises, examples and case studies.

And then the remaining chapters show how JANUS is easy to USE - in a variety of different ways. You can choose the applications to prioritise - see CONTENTS page below 

And JANUS takes no TIME! It is easy to apply and becomes a NEW WAY OF THINKING. Instead of doing an extra chore, you will find yourself instantly visualising and describing in your mind positive outcomes - and the resulting image (eg a new convinced and admiring customer) will spur you on!

HOWEVER..... few people actually CAN do it automatically, because it is counter-intuitive - you NEED to read the book, decide to think differently and then practice until you develop the HABIT of instantly visualising outcomes and thinking “what MUST have happened?” The answer to the tennis example below is obvious “when you think about it” and does only take a second to work out. BUT you have to get into the HABIT of thinking about and describing the end result first!

Anyone for tennis?

You are organising a singles tennis tournament and need to work out the scheduling based on how many games will need to be played. Start by describing the end result first; and then ask yourself what MUST have happened?

Once you know how many people have entered, it only takes one second to work out the number of games that MUST have been played. Try it with 142 entries. How long did it take you work out the answer is 141?

What MUST have happened? Working BACKWARDS the winner is the only person who hasn't lost a game; so there MUST have been 141 losers; so there MUST have been 141 games! This applies with any number of entries. Simply deduct 1. Go on - try it for yourself - with any number!
