5 Ways You Never Thought About Using a Vision Board
/Are you familiar with using a vision board as a tool for keeping your dreams and goals in mind, or maybe your not and this is the first time you have seen one and can see how powerful they can be.
But did you know also know that you can use a vision board in a variety of ways, depending on your needs? In fact, you might even want to have more than one vision board, to keep your dreams for the various areas of your life and business clear.
Business Planning
This vision board is where you’ll keep track of why and how you do what you do. You started your business for a reason - your “why.” But somewhere along the way, many of us lose sight of this goal.
A business planning vision board can help keep us on track.
On it, you’ll keep images that represent your ideal business, such as working from the beach, speaking in front of a large crowd, achieving top seller status, or even a big fancy office if that’s your thing.
Life Goals
Where do you want to be in five, ten, or twenty years? That’s not just a question from a bad job interview, it’s a critical consideration for anyone who wants to live a life of purpose and meaning, and a vision board is a perfect tool for staying on track.
This vision board—like all of them—is fluid and in a constant state of change. As your life goals change and grow, so will your vision board. Maybe you no longer want to live in Paris. That’s ok. Replace the city of lights with a relaxing mountaintop retreat if that’s your thing.
But do keep your life goals vision board updated and refer to it each time you have to make a major decision. It will help clarify the direction you need to take to achieve your life’s dreams.
Holiday Planning
Heading off on an amazing holiday with the family? Don’t leave your journey to chance. Capture all your “must-see” destinations on a vision board so you don’t miss anything.
Even better, invite your kids and spouse to join you, and create a fun planning tool the entire family can use. The kids will be excited about your trip, and you’ll be sure everyone gets to see and do everything they hoped for. By planning ahead, you’ll ensure everyone has the epic vacation of their dreams.
Home Buying
Pinterest has built an entire business around what amounts to a digital vision board—much of it devoted to home décor. If you’re looking for a new home, or simply remodeling the one you have, then a vision board is a great way to organise your plans.
Snip photos of the style of home you love, colour combos to try, landscaping ideas, and anything else that strikes your fancy. Keeping your home-buying vision board close at hand will save you time in your search by reminding you exactly what you’re looking for.
Client/Customer/Team Member Attracting
Every business has an ideal client and customer (and us network marketers it can be team members too), but this seemingly simple thing can be incredibly difficult to define. A vision board can and will help you out big time with that!
Is your ideal customer male or female? Young or old? Successful or not? Does he or she have kids or a home or a business? Is she confident or timid? Athletic or overweight? What are their issues right now?
Create a collection of images that represent your ideal client and refer to it each time you are tempted (as we all are) to sign a client or team member who is less than ideal.
