Create A Vision Board

One thing that my Master Mind partners and I created early in our meetings was a Vision Board. Do you have one? If not, take an hour or so and do this for your career. It may not seem like a money-maker, but it is something that will inspire you to believe in yourself so that others may believe also.

A vision board is a bulletin board with pieces of items cut from magazines and other printed material that reflect your vision for you and your career. I put mine on a piece of foam board so it would stand firmly and last longer.

Cut out phrases and headlines from magazines that are positive and paste them on the vision board. Here are some of my vision board sayings: "Learn from the Best" (today I'm learning, but I'm also teaching others so this works both ways); "I did it!"; "The joy of investing in you"; "Where are you going? The adventure begins today"; "Oh I wish to watch them say 'Yes!'" (I'm thinking of editors here); "Let your creative juices flow".

At the very top: "Vision - Where vision becomes reality"

Hint: Many of these sayings were found in travel magazines. They seem to emphasize dreaming more than other publications.

My vision board also has pics of places I’d like to visit again - Venice and London, Mexico, the Southwest, the beach.

I figure if I look at my vision board long enough, it will come true.

I've not made anything like this since grade school. It was fun and exciting because it was all about me and my dreams.

My husband is helping me live my current dream of freelancing full-time. Thanks, John. You're my biggest dream come true.
