Don't Make a Vision Board, Make a #futureboard
If you really want to motivate your team, company, event or group, don't waste your time making old-school vision boards. Instead, get serious about custom creating your DREAM FUTURE LIFE with #futureboards.
It’s time to get serious about creating a custom blueprint for your DREAM FUTURE LIFE with the #futureboards method. Vision boards? They’re so 20 years ago!
Gone are the days of wasting hours flipping through magazines, gathering random images that don’t mean anything to you, only to end up with a generic collage of dreams that don’t inspire you. We did that before we knew any better.
But let’s get real did they really work? You may have manifested one or two things off an old-school vision board… but who has time for that?
Traditional vision boards—those random collages of stuff we “think” we want—have been around for ages. I remember in 2004, when my boss had our sales team create what she called a “magazine goal board.” Guess what? It didn’t work. None of us manifested anything from those boards. Sure, the intentions were good, but the result was a whole lot of nothing.
And if you think about it, how could they work? Whatever you cut out of a magazine is always random, it’s NOT yourdreams. It doesn’t look exactly like what you want. It’s whatever a magazine editor decided to put in that issue. Sorry, but that’s far too random and unintentional for me!
But a #futureboard changed my life forever.
It started in 2008. That year, my world exploded. I found out my husband was having an affair. At the time, I had 13-month-old twin daughters and a 5-year-old son. We’d just lost our house to foreclosure, and filed for bankruptcy. It was a bombshell that destroyed everything I knew.
It took me months to find a job, and when I did, I started with a salary barely enough to cover rent and daycare. I was starting from rock bottom in every area of my life, including my career, where I was stuck cold-calling from a tiny cubicle. Things felt so bleak that I created an alternate reality in my mind—one where I was successful, living my dream life, and showing my kids the world.
And that was the beginning of my #futureboard. I didn’t have any expectations for it honestly, especially since I knew my old vision board had never worked. But when I made that first futureboard, something changed. I looked at it while making my sales calls, and it filled me with hope. It sparked a burning desire within me to make the life in those pictures, my future reality.
Within 18 months, that #futureboard began coming to life. I went from a newly single mom on food stamps struggling to stay afloat, to a big promotion where I tripled my salary, started traveling, and living some of my wildest dreams. Since then I’ve manifested over a dozen futureboards and created a life I had once only fantasized about. It has truly changed my life. You can read more about my story here.
Since then, I’ve been teaching thousands of people around the world how to do exactly what I did, and it works just as well for anyone who follows the method. But here’s the key: I didn’t make a vision board. I made a #futureboard, and trust me, those two things are VERY different.
Want to see my personal before and after gallery of what’s manifested off my #futureboards? Check out my Pinterest Reality Board.
A #futureboard is a visual representation of what you want in all five core categories of your life. It’s made with intention and is the result of deeper personal work to determine what makes you happy, what your goals are, and helps you determine what you truly want. The pictures are exactly what you had in your mind, there is nothing random about it!
Without realizing it at the time, I tapped into the power of self-motivation. I learned how to transform static goals and scary sales quotas into life-changing experiences that I truly desired. And that’s why companies like Nike, Sony, Verizon, Pinterest, and Xerox hire me to teach their employees and sales teams the same techniques.
The ROI of my #futureboards workshops is off the charts. Why? Because the people who go through my programs are learning how to motivate themselves by connecting their dreams to their work. And nothing drives action more than an individuals personal dreams.
Think about it…
What if you didn’t have to push yourself to “get motivated” every day? What if your dreams pulled you out of bed, instead?
Imagine if your energy and mindset completely shifted, and you learned how to program your brain for success?
What if you realized that daydreaming about what you want is actually the key to creating it? (Yes, seriously!)
What if you could have true “work-life balance” and genuinely love both?
Imagine truly understanding the importance of de-stressing, taking care of your body, and doing things that make you feel alive.
And what if you had all the tools, knew how to use them, and started getting fast results?
That’s what I teach. And that’s what a #futureboard can do for you. Trust me, it will rock your world.
