A vision board is a visual representation of your goals and desires that helps you to clarify your intentions, motivate you to take action, focus on your objectives, and attract the right opportunities for business.

The benefit of making a vision board for your business

  • Know what you want to achieve. Think about the aspects of your business that you want to improve or change, such as your income, clients, products, services, etc.
  • Create a list of long-term and short-term goals. Write down your specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals for your business. Include some big scary goals that challenge you to step out of your comfort zone.
  • Find your meaningful images and words. Look for pictures and phrases that capture your intention and resonate with you emotionally. You can use magazines, newspapers, books, online sources, etc. You can also use your own photos or drawings.
  • Arrange your vision board. Choose a format and size for your vision board that suits your space and style. You can use a poster board, a cork board, a canvas, a frame, etc. You can also use an app or a website to create a digital vision board. Arrange your images and words in a way that makes sense to you and reflects your priorities.
  • Display your vision board. Put your vision board somewhere you can see it every day, such as your office, bedroom, or living room. You can also use it as your computer or phone wallpaper. Look at your vision board often and feel the emotions of achieving your goals.
  • It activates the power of visualization, which is a proven technique to enhance your performance and achieve your goals.
  • It provides clarity and direction for your business, as you have to plan and choose what you really want to manifest.
  • It fosters motivation and determination, as you see your goals every day and feel inspired to work towards them.

  • It increases positive emotions and optimism, as you imagine a fulfilling and happy future for yourself and business.

Tips and steps for making a vision board for your business:

  • Brainstorm and write down your business goals, both short-term and long-term. Think about the aspects of your business that you want to improve or change, such as your income, clients, products, services, etc. Collaborate with your team members or other stakeholders to create a shared vision for your business. You can invite them to contribute their ideas, feedback, and suggestions to your vision board. This will help you align your goals and values with others and create a sense of ownership and commitment.
  • Narrow down your goals and choose the ones that are most important, realistic, and inspiring to you. You can use the SMART criteria (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound) to help you. Include some big scary goals that challenge you to step out of your comfort zone.
  • Create your vision board by finding meaningful images and words. Look for pictures and phrases that capture your intention and resonate with you emotionally. You can use magazines, newspapers, books, online sources, etc. You can also use your own photos or drawings. You can also add quotes, affirmations, or symbols that motivate you.
  • Choose a format and size for your vision board that suits your space and style. You can use a poster board, a cork board, a canvas, a frame, etc. You can also use an app or a website to create a digital vision board. Arrange your images and words in a way that makes sense to you and reflects your priorities.
  • Display your vision board somewhere you can see it everyday, such as your office, bedroom, or living room. You can also use it as your computer or phone wallpaper. Look at your vision board often and feel the emotions of achieving your goals.

Remember to review and update your vision board regularly while tracking your progress. You may need to change some of your goals or add new ones as you grow and evolve. You can also refresh your vision board with new images and words that inspire you. A vision board is just another tool in your toolbox to help you reach your goals.
