3 Tips For Turning Your Vision Board Into A Reality

​The vision must be followed by the venture. It is not enough to stare up the steps - we must step up the stairs. -Vance Havner

Vision boards are the visual representation of where you would like to see your life. Often, we become excited about filling the board with smiling faces, exotic locations, and other symbols of success and wealth but forget that postive affirmations is only a part of the process.

     Here are a few tips on turning your board into reality:

1. Deconstruct your board (at least mentally)
Look at all the images that you have placed on the board. Each image should represent a goal. Write the goal down. Be very specific and as descriptive as possible.
 
2. Create a plan of action
For each goal create a separate plan of action. Describe how you will work towards the goal. I like to focus on actions that I can execute myself so that you are not relying on others to take an action.

3. Break it down one more time
Take each action plan and write out a weekly step that you will take in implementing the action. I like to write down 12 steps, representing 3 month implementation strategy. I write these steps on a calendar and place it next to the board and check them off each week. After each 3 month interval evaluate and create another 12 steps.

Creating a vision board can only take you so far. Remember:
                
                   'The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.' -Lao Tzu
