Vision Boards Attract Success

Advantages of using vision boards to attract success?

Yes, vision boards can attract success and there are many advantages. A vision board is merely an instrument that helps you visualize your dreams and thereby, becomes a means to achieve your goals. Creating a vision board has become a popular activity in recent years. When was the last time you allowed yourself to daydream about the type of life you want? 

Now that our New Year is upon us, people think about the past year and the New Year’s resolutions they want to keep. 

Do you set goals for your personal life and your business? If not, how do you know you’re growing or making progress? What is your WHY, the reason behind all the long hours you spend on your business?

New here? I also have the following posts to help my readers work on a vision board for their own personal use:


5 ways vision boards help you attract success and the advantages

1. Knowing your WHY makes you focused

Vision boards make you focus on what’s important to you.I have been asked if there should be two vision boards – one for personal and one for your career/business. My answer is do what you think is better for your motivation. Whether you combine a personal vision board with a professional one or keep them both separate, the principal idea is to see your ideas like a billboard. 

Do you want to buy your first house or move to a warmer climate? Putting a photo of your dream location by the beach should be an inspiration. If you want to move, you can make that happen and you’ll make better business decisions based on that desire to move.

2. Visually engaging

Visualization stimulates the creative side of your brain. Placing your vision board in sight of your desk or computer serves as a daily reminder of what you want to achieve. Some believe keeping it open by your nightstand helps stimulate your subconscious before you go to bed, which makes you motivated upon waking. With your creativity soaring, keep a notebook handy to jot down any ideas you have for a new course or coaching program you want to create.

3. Attention brings focus

Focusing on goals makes you recognize new resources or opportunities.Visualizing yourself living in a warmer climate (or whatever your primary goal is) will motivate you to work towards that goal but you’ll also notice new opportunities or resources which can lead you to reaching your goal. These resources may have always been present but now that you’re focused on your goal, you will see them in a new light: as a way to help you reach that intended goal.

4. Big Scary Goals

Break out of your comfort zone by stating a big, scary goal.Are you stuck in a rut because you’re afraid to break out of your comfort zone? Acknowledging big goals – as scary and outrageous as they may be – will help you step out and take on new challenges, all in the name of reaching that scary goal. If your goal is to speak in front of an audience of 5,000 at your favorite conference, then you’ll start to see more opportunities for smaller speaking engagements. These smaller gigs will give you lots of practice and build your name recognition so when the organizers of your favorite conference advertise for speakers, you’ll be well prepared to submit your name.

5. Take Action Steps

Seeing a big goal forces, you out of the daydream and into action.Nothing happens without some action on your part. Vision boards are not magic tricks; they are instead a tool that spurs us into action because we finally know what we want out of life. Visualize your ideal life then approach each day with action steps which will lead you toward that ideal life.

Aside from these reasons, creating vision boards can be very relaxing and a fun family activity. So, grab some glue and some old magazines and start daydreaming!
