“Visualize it and Achieve it”

I have recently (within the last 2 years) learned that I have Aphantasia.  My entire life I would hear “visualize the life you want and achieve it” “visualize how you want things to be” etc… Whether in sports using visualization or just in life in general, I could never figure out how to exactly make that happen and now I wonder if having aphantasia has in some fashion kept me from my full potential or if perhaps I came up with some “work around” for not being able to visualize.
How have you compensated for this?  Thank you!
