“It’s all in the mind,” says Arnold Schwarzenegger. A multimillionaire, successful real estate tycoon, movie star [turned film producer], body-builder – five times winner of the Mr. Universe title, [and latterly Governor of California]. Arnold has it made. But it wasn’t always so. Arnold can remember back when he had nothing except a belief that his mind was the key to getting where he wanted to go.

“When I was young, I visualised myself being and having what it was I wanted. Mentally I never had any doubts about it. The mind is really so incredible. Before I won my first Mr. Universe, I walked around the tournament like I owned it. The title was already mine. I had won it so many times in my mind that there was no doubt I would win it. Then when I moved on to the movies, the same thing. I visualise myself being a successful actor and earning big money. I could feel and taste success. I just knew it would all happen.”
