This document discusses the concept of vision and how creating a vision board can help clarify goals and dreams for both business and personal life. It defines vision as a vivid mental image of what you want your business or life to be in the future based on goals. Creating a vision board involves cutting out inspiring images and words from magazines to visually represent desired outcomes in areas like finances, relationships, health, and more. Regularly viewing the completed vision board is meant to keep those goals top of mind and help manifest them.

YOU TO LINK YOUR ACTIONS TO YOUR STRATEGIC GOALS. YOUR ACTIONS
MUST BE DRIVEN FROM A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF VALUE THEY WILL
CREATE.

7. HOW TO CREATE A VISION BOARD
• POSTER BOARD
• BIG STACK OF MAGAZINES, PICTURES, ETC
• GLUE – RUBBER CEMENT

8. STEP 1
• GO THROUGH YOUR MAGAZINES AND TEAR THE IMAGES FROM THEM. NO
GLUING YET! JUST LET YOURSELF HAVE LOTS OF FUN LOOKING THROUGH
MAGAZINES AND PULLING OUT PICTURES OR WORDS OR HEADLINES THAT
STRIKE YOUR FANCY. HAVE FUN WITH IT. MAKE A BIG PILE OF IMAGES AND
PHRASES AND WORDS.

9. STEP 2
• GO THROUGH THE IMAGES AND BEGIN TO LAY YOUR FAVORITES ON THE
BOARD. ELIMINATE ANY IMAGES THAT NO LONGER FEEL RIGHT. THIS STEP IS
WHERE YOUR INTUITION COMES IN. AS YOU LAY THE PICTURES ON THE BOARD,
YOU’LL GET A SENSE HOW THE BOARD SHOULD BE LAID OUT.

10. STEP 3
• GLUE EVERYTHING ONTO THE BOARD. ADD WRITING IF YOU WANT. YOU CAN
PAINT ON IT, OR WRITE WORDS WITH MARKERS.

11. STEP 4
• (OPTIONAL, BUT POWERFUL) LEAVE SPACE IN THE VERY CENTER OF THE VISION
BOARD FOR A FANTASTIC PHOTO OF YOURSELF WHERE YOU LOOK RADIANT
AND HAPPY. PASTE YOURSELF IN THE CENTER OF YOUR BOARD.
