9 Missing Power Steps to Amazing Vision Board Success

Secrets to manifesting wealth, happiness, love and an

awesome life.

Expect your every need to be met. Expect the answer to every problem. Expect abundance on every level.

~Eileen Caddy

INTRODUCTION

Are you looking for a way to dramatically transform your

life or to radically speed up what youre bringing to

yourself? A way to bring wealth, happiness, love and all the

things you desire faster than you ever dreamed possible? If

the answer is a big resounding yes, then Vision Boards and

visualization could be the very tool youve been looking

for.

You might have also heard of vision boards by other

names, such as Dream Boards, Goal Boards or Story

Boards. Used correctly, as shown in this book, you can

dramatically improve not just the chances but the speed in

which you bring into your life the people, dreams or vision

you desire or want to manifest.

6 www.BreakthroughtToAwesome.com


Vision Boards really became popular after the smash hit

movie, The Secret. The Secret is a great movie about

visualization, manifestation, and the law of attraction, and

its worth seeing if youve not already done so. Although

visualization and vision boards were around long before

this movie, they definitely became a big hit since the

movie, and it has helped them take off as a great tool to

manifesting all sorts of amazing things into your life.

Before I go into what a vision board is, let me just make a

little disclaimer for the FTC and other government

agencies. Although Ive seen some amazing things brought

into mine and other peoples lives using vision boards and

other visualization techniques, it does not mean you will

see any results, and Im definitely not claiming you will.

Basically, there are no guarantees with anything in life, and

Im certainly not claiming any here.



WHAT IS A VISION BOARD?

A vision board is a collage of pictures and words

illustrating your desires and dreams that you want to

manifest into your life and how you wish your life to look

in the future.

Its normally a white or colored poster board, or a cork

board that has various inspiring and motivating images and

words that represent your dreams and desires pinned or

glued onto it. The idea is that every time you look at the

board, you are focusing both your conscious and

subconscious mind on the things you really want to bring to

you, or how you want your life to look. This focus

dramatically increases the chances of the item materializing

into your life.

Other versions of the vision board, which I will talk about a

little later, include vision journals, vision cards and the

many types of online vision boards, from videos to slide

shows.

The power of visualization has been known and used for

hundreds if not thousands of years. People like Newton,

Edison and Einstein talked about its power to change your

world. Einstein once said, Imagination is everything. It is

the preview of life's coming attractions. Ive personally



used various visualization techniques long before I knew

about vision boards. These visualization techniques have

helped guide me to all sorts of amazing things that I really

wanted in my life. I still use personal visualization, but find

vision boards help tremendously when applied correctly, as

youre about to learn.

I have experienced, seen and heard of some incredible

things that have, as if by magic, materialized after the

creation of a vision board. I have personally traveled to

places I thought I would never go, had customers appear

out of thin air, increased my income by more than 10x, and

brought all sorts of wonderful things into my life. Within

this book is everything you need to ensure you can achieve

the same.

But, beware... there are also potential pitfalls with using

vision boards; things that no one else really talks about. If

done incorrectly, vision boards could possibly repel the

very things youre trying to achieve or blind you to

amazing opportunities that the universe might be waving

right in front of your very nose. You could end up with

things you just werent expecting or wanting in your life,

while losing those things you really did not want to lose.

There are many guides and videos that cover how to make

a vision board, but none that give you the potential traps, 9

the whats to avoid and the steps to designing and

creating a successful vision board: the secrets to creating a

vision board that will give you amazing results quickly in

your life, if you just take the time to apply the steps

properly.





WHO AM I?

My name is David Stanbridge. At the age

of eight years, I nearly died from 3rd

degree burns over 30% of my body. I

remember lying in the hospital bed as the

doctor told my parents that I had an 80% chance of not

making it through the night. That was a very scary moment,

but one that changed my life. I was determined that dying

was not an option and decided at that point that I was not

only going to live, I was going to live life to the fullest.

Since then, I have done just that... I'm an entrepreneur,

business & life coach, marketing consultant and a

discoverer of life's passions. I've set up and run over seven

companies, ranging from paintball sites, debt negotiation,

nutritional products, stock market training, social media

style websites, and more. Three of these companies did

multi-million dollar sales in their first three years.

I've followed my passions from spending a year in Africa,

three months in Australia, three months cruising the

Caribbean, six weeks in South Asia, and much more. I've

been through the joys of a marriage, the battle of my ex-

wife's cancer, and the heartbreak of divorce. I've had rough

business partnership breakups and some great successes

along the way. I've experienced both the ups and downs in

my business and personal life. I contribute much of my

success and happiness to visualization and, as you'll

discover later, action and work.

My biggest passion is helping people change their current

conditions and future outcomes. I love seeing people

change their lives, and my most passionate goal is to help

you live a passionate, happy, awesome life; one you truly

LOVE!

Limiting Beliefs: Before I get into the details of vision

boards, I feel it's important to quickly talk about what I

believe to be the biggest destroyer of dreams and success:

Limiting Beliefs! These, more often than not, are hidden in

our subconscious thoughts and cause all sorts of havoc and

distraction in our lives. It's hard to pull into our lives

through visualization what we are subconsciously repelling

with our limiting beliefs. And, believe it or not, scientists

like Dr Bruce Lipton say the subconscious mind controls a

staggering 95% of your daily lifes thoughts and beliefs;

amazing, but true!

For example, it's hard to pull money into your life via

vision boards when your internal limiting beliefs about

money are that money is evil, or money does not grow on

trees, or there's not enough money to go around, or you



need money to make money; and, if you do attract money,

the chances are it's not going to stick around for very long.

I could go on about limiting beliefs, but this is not the focus

of this writing. So, if you would like more information on

limiting beliefs, visit

BreakthroughToAwesome.com/Beliefs and get your free

eBook on, "Breaking Out From Negative Limiting

Beliefs".

The Universe: I mention a lot throughout this book about

"the universe." By the universe, I mean whatever belief is

right for you; whether you believe in God, a greater or

higher power, a universal energy or any other means you

might draw strength from or feel connected to. Your

personal spiritual beliefs do not affect your ability to

manifest some amazing things into your life. You just have

to believe and be open to allowing what the universe knows

is right for you.



THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY ABOUT VISION BOARDS

There is no doubt that no matter how skeptical you are

about manifesting wonderful things into your life, whether

it's by visualization techniques or vision boards, if you do it

correctly, you can achieve some amazing results. Yet

thousands of people complain all the time that they see few

to no results and sometimes even see things going

backwards in their lives.

Why would this happen if vision boards are so powerful?

Why don't you get the results you so desperately want into

your life? Well part of the problem might be a strong

negative subconscious limiting belief around the area

you're having problems with. I really recommend you take

the time to learn more about these pesky limiting beliefs.

But, let's look at a few other very important things to be

aware of before you start planning out your vision board

and the steps to your success.



THE 9 POWER STEPS TO MAKING VISION BOARDS WORK FOR YOU!

Power Step 1. What do I really want in my life?

Vision boards are about getting into vibration with and

attracting to you the things you want in your life. However,

most people have a much better idea of what they dont

want in their life than what they actually do want. If you

asked an average group of people to draw two columns on

a piece of paper and write down all the things they want on

one column and what they don't want on the other, the

don't want column would probably be five times the size

of the do want column.

A vision board is about creating

a dream life that you truly

desire; one that youre

passionate about and will get

you jumping out of bed in the

morning excited about the day

ahead. It's about creating and manifesting abundance in all

sorts of ways that make you happy, excited, and in love

with yourself and your life. It's about having the people and

the love that you want in your life; the happiness,

spirituality, toys, home life, travel, career, etc. that would

really make you happy.



So, step one of creating a vision board is figuring out what

it is you truly want in your life. Where do you want to go,

what are your intentions in life, what makes you happy, and

what does the deeper soul part of you want? What type of

ideal relationship are you looking for?

The start, then, to any vision board is writing down all your

goals, dreams and desires on a big sheet of paper.

Brainstorm and then write down anything that comes to

your mind without any judgment or critique of your

thoughts. Don't think, "I'll never get that," at least not for

now. Just put everything that comes to mind down on that

sheet of paper.

Think BIG! You can always reduce the size of it later, but

think as big as you can for now. It's funny, but most people

have a hard time thinking out of the box and really going

for it. For example, in a recent sweepstakes, a company

offered 100 trips anywhere in the world to the winners.

Hawaii, India, England, you name itall expenses paid.

Amazingly, 90% of the people who won stayed within four

hours of their home. Break out of your comfort zone. Think

of something daring and challenging that you would love

your life to look like or to have in it.



Later, were going to narrow this big list down to the things

that are really important and meaningful to you, but dont

worry about that for now. This is just a dreaming exercise,

so what would you have if money was no problem, you did

not have to work, had no health issues, or whatever else

you might think is holding you back? What would you do

for fun, to keep you occupied and interested; what would

you love to create?

Two Ways of Discovering Your Vision Board Wants and

Desires.

Vision boards can dramatically change your life and create

some amazing results when made correctly. So you want to

make sure youre also putting down things that you really

do want and desire. Were going to sort through this list

youve just created in a minute and pull out the more

important points that really get you excited about your

future.

Let me give a quick warning about merely going through a

pile of magazines and cutting out images because they

appeal to you at that moment in time. Its not really going

to create the true future you are passionate about.

Magazines have some great ideas, but chances are there

will be things you really want that you just wont see in the



magazines and so will be totally left out of the future you

vision board. Also, a lot of the things you cut out will be

quick, spur of the moment inspirations, and not truly

meaningful things for you.

So, the first step is to get very clear on what it is you want

to have. I recommend looking at all the main areas of your

life, such as:

Relationships: Spouse, friends, work & school colleagues,

partners, and people you want to connect with, etc.

Health/Physical: How you look and feel, exercise, weight,

fitness level, etc.

Recreational: Run a marathon, travel the world, learn

kayaking, buy an RV, etc.

Professional/Financial: Type of work/career, income,

being debt free, writing a book, having money in savings,

etc.

Spiritual: Tithing, church, groups, mediation, nature,

volunteering, etc.

Home: What type, where, features, etc.



Get clarity about what it is you want in all areas of your

life: your purpose, spouse, job, home, relationships, the

environment you live in. Go into detail. For instance, for a

relationship, think about their character and morals, their

goals; if they are a social butterfly, shy or outgoing. Do you

want children, and if so how many.

Some people find it helpful to journal and may want to do

so for a few days before they start. Others meditate on what

to manifest into their lives for a while and ask to be shown

what it is they truly desire. If these things are not for you, at

least sit down with a note pad for several hours and put

some serious thought into it. After you've made your initial

list, I would suggest sleeping on it and letting your

subconscious mind mull it over for the night. Then come

back the next day and spend a few more hours or so on it.

Yes, it's worth it!

Think deep into the inner you. The more effort you put into

this, the quicker and more amazing the results will be.

Definitely put down all the things you've been dreaming

about for a while, as you're already moving into the same

vibration with these things.



TIP: Play some relaxing, calming, spiritual or meditative

music while you think and write, as it will help you connect

to the inner you and your subconscious mind easier.

Another system that might help you is the BE DO

HAVE system.

Be - Do - Have: Most people just jump straight into "what

do I want to have" on their vision boards. But to have

something, you first have to Be the person that is going to

Have that thing, and Do the things that are going to make it

happen. This might be a novel idea to many people, but

most have it completely reversed. Theyre trying to Have

more money so they can Do fun things in their life and Be

more relaxed. Unfortunately, it does not really work like

this.

You must Be the person that can Do the things needed to

Have the result.

State of mind Values & beliefs

Be

Decisions Made Actions Taken

Do The Results

you want

Have



Be is more of a state of mind; such as being happy,

passionate, honest, trustworthy, loyal, committed,

engaging, creative, loving, hardworking, dedicated.

Do is what you actually need to get done or things you need

to do; such as talk in front of groups, make connections,

write a book.

Have is the result of the above Be and Do; such as money

in the bank, more time, nice home, great relationships.

For example, to have and keep a great relationship you

must first

Be: loving, caring, honest, loyal, giving, passionate, fun,

supportive.

Then...

Do: Pay attention, help out, say and do loving things, show

you care, be fun, remember birthdays and special

events/dates.

The result is: You Have a fun, loving and fulfilling

relationship.

Now lets give this a try to start with, get three blank

pieces of paper and write Be on one, Do on another, and



Have on the 3rd. Then, on each piece of paper, make a list

of things as they come to you. They don't need to be in any

order, so just write down what you think as the idea comes

up. You might think, for example, "I want an awesome job

as an international travel guide." Then fill in the other two

sections such as Be - love traveling, adventures, Do -

search out job, etc.

Tip: Don't be wishy-washy and unclear about your wants

here. For example, I want a great job or a nice car. Be as

precise and accurate as you can be. Instead write, I want

the executive position at such and such company or I

want a white convertible Mercedes Benz.



Power Step 2. Hold On... This sounds a lot like work!

The biggest problem with the movie

"The Secret" is that it was all about

thinking of something you wanted in

your life and then simply sitting

around and visualizing it into your

life. It made people believe that if

they just thought hard enough about a new car for long

enough, then hey presto there it was in their driveway

one morning. They never even had to get out of bed or lift a

finger to get it. It does not mention anything about getting off your butt and

actually doing the things needed to make it happen. And,

these actions don't even have to be that hard. It might be as

simple as entering a competition for your new dream car,

but you have to do something! I can assure you that lying in

bed and eating Twinkies all day, no matter how hard you

visualize about being thin and healthy, is not going to work.

Theres a good joke about a guy who every night kneeled

and prayed to God to let him win the lottery. But even after

many years, he never won. Not even a penny! At last, God

spoke to him and said Please, at least go and buy a ticket!



If the love of your life, your soul mate, was in your life

right now, what would that mean to you? What if your

biggest hero had just invited you to their private island for a

week? How much time and effort would you put in if you

knew for certain this was going to happen?

Unfortunately, many people go through life wanting to see

a return on their investment before they put in their money.

They want to get paid before they put forth the effort. Or

worse, they have the righteous feeling they are owed

something without having to do anything in return. It's a bit

like sitting down at a fire and saying, Give me some heat

and then I'll put on some wood and light you. It's going to

be a cold night!

Would it be worth a day or two's work to get the results you

want? Let me just say its well worth the time and sweat

equity you put into your future happiness. What else are

you going to do anyway, watch Survivor again?



Power Step 3. Its Not all about the Toys!

Quite often, the first thing people

think about when creating a vision

board is the flashy sports car, the

mansion on the beach, their personal

Learjet, the super sexy spouse, and so on. I totally agree

there is nothing wrong in having these things in your life;

it's certainly nice. And I hate to rain on your parade, but it's

not whats going to make you happy at the end of the day.

I just heard this great story by Jack Canfield talking about a

good friend of his that constantly upgraded all his toys and

yet he was never happy. He eventually bought the Seattle

Seahawks football team thinking, this MUST make me

happy, right? Wrong! It just gave him more grief.

Eventually a friend asked him to go to Central Europe with

him to help give out wheelchairs to children that needed

them. That experience changed his life, and he started a

wheelchair foundation giving out thousands of wheelchairs

around the world. And, guess what? He's finally happy!

Don't get me wrong. I don't mean you have to go and start

an international charity, unless thats something you want

to do. I certainly have toys on my vision board, but I have

also put a lot more non-material things on it as well, such



as how I want to feel: to have love and happiness in my life

as well as spirituality and experiences I want to have.

Again, dig deep! What is it that will truly make you happy?

You can manifest anything you want, so why just make it a

car that's going to eat up gas, cost loads to repair, and have

expensive insurance?

Think about what truly makes you happy, what would

make you excited when you wake up in the morning or

keep you awake at night because you cannot wait for the

morning? What affect do you want to have in this world or

be known by people for achieving or doing? Imagine being

the next Oprah, Tony Robbins or Richard Branson, if thats

something that excites you.

What value do you put in growing yourself spiritually and

mentally? Do you want to get a doctorate or become an

expert in Yoga or meditation? Start a thriving business or

charity? Be madly in love with your dream partner or living

in some exotic location? All of these could bring more

happiness at the end of the day than a new flashy boat.

Quick Tip: Instead of setting a goal, change it to an

experience you want to have. You don't want a goal of

losing 20 pounds; instead, you want to experience feeling



fit, 20 pounds lighter and fitting back into those clothes you

love. You don't want to stop smoking; instead, you want to

actually experience tasting your food and drink and being

able to smell the roses again.



Power Step 4. Leaving Space for the Universe.

Okay, you've dug deep and really

thought about what you want in life, and

youve written it all down in detail. But

the big question now is, do you know

what the universe has planned for you or where it wants

you to go next?

Believe me; the universe wants you to have an abundance

of happiness, love, wealth, health and all the good things in

life. But, the universe is not necessarily going to give it to

you the way you think "you" should get it. The universe

works in mysterious and wonderful ways, and will often

find unique and unexpected gifts for your life that you may

never have even dreamed of.

Vision boards are a great guide post to what you want in

life, but can be very restrictive. Often, they focus your

attention and intention on a very limited number of ideas,

beliefs, and possibilities that you think might be right for

you. Yes, they are ideas based on what you believe you

want to come into your life. You even sat down and

meditated and/or did some journaling about it for a couple

of days. But, could there be other options, possibilities or



outcomes that would make you much happier than what

"you" believe you want to manifest?

Here's a great little experiment that only takes 15 seconds,

so give it a try! Look around you for 10 seconds and spot

everything that is red. Actually do this right now. Spot

everything that is red. Have you done that?

Greatnow close your eyes and, without looking, try to

remember everything that is blue.

I bet you found it hard to remember even a couple of

things. You wanted red and focused on red, so all the blue

things disappeared. And yet, the universe might really want

you to have blue in your life. Believe me; the universe

knows what will make you happy better than anybody else

does, including you.

I know several people who had their ideal partner on a

vision board, and yet married somebody completely

different and have been very happy for years. This

happened to me. The person I met and married was nothing

like the person I had visualized. I was however open to

accepting what the universe brought to me, despite the

vision of who I believed I wanted in my life.

29


And, I don't think I would have met her if I hadnt been

visualizing, but also keeping an open mind. The same thing

has happened on trips I wanted to take, the timing of when

I wanted things to happen, and even a business I was going

to start. You need to keep an open mind as to what the

universe is going to give you.

An example of being too attached to a specific outcome

might be that you've set the goal of losing 20 pounds.

While waiting around for the fat to just drop of your body,

you never notice the six months of personal fitness and diet

training you just won fall into your lap! Or you're looking

for a tall beautiful soul mate and don't even notice that

great person at work, who may be slightly overweight, but

madly in love with you and would make you extremely

happy.

It might sound a bit contradictory, but try and focus on

what you want to manifest in as much detail as you can,

while but also remembering that the universe has a much

clearer understanding of what is right for you and what will

make you happy. You just need to trust in it.

If you stay fixed on insisting you get what you have written

or placed on your vision board, you might be reducing the

chances of both what the universe wants for you to 30


manifest, as well as what you believe you actually want

arriving at your door.

But you also might get exactly what you asked for, so be

precise.



Power Step 5. Yeah Right! As if That's Really Going to Happen.

So, you have on your vision board a brand

new Aston Martin Vanquish worth a cool

$270,000. Pretty sweet! Now here's the

problem. The best car youve ever owned is

a 1994 ford worth a whopping $1,200. Or you're a 74-year-

old guy looking to date a 21-year-old super model, and you

only have a massive $500 in the bank.

Now, I'm never going to diminish somebody else's dream,

and like I said, the universe works in mysterious ways.

Could you have an Aston Martin Vanquish on your vision

board, and then win a competition for that very car the next

week? ABSOLUTELY! It happens.

`

But, here's the tricky part. Do you honestly see yourself

with the items you've listed on your vision board in your

life?

If you have things on your board that every time you look

at them you think, "Yeah, that's never going to happen or a

little doubt starts creeping in instead of a positive physical

and emotional response? You might want to rethink your

vision a little!



This is very important so please pay attention

When you get any sort of yeah right reaction, you're

actually telling your subconscious mind and the universe

the very opposite message of what youre trying to achieve.

That you really don't want that thing in your life Ill

never have a car like ______.

Remember, you get what you focus on and at this point,

youre focusing on not having the person, item or dream in

your life.. You look at the vision board and at some level of

consciousness say, "It's never going to happen!"

Your subconscious and the universe happily oblige and

give you what you focused on not getting the very thing

you want. Even though that wasn't your intention at all.

The trouble is, you also might even repel something you

already have or really want from your life. This applies the

same way whether it is a job, money, relationship, health,

or any other area of your life. You need to be able to look

at the items on your board and get a strong visceral and

emotional belief that you want and can have that in your

life.



Nearly everything Ive ever read invariably says to just

ignore those nagging doubts and just push forward. The

idea is that at some point in the future youll talk yourself

into believing them. Well, until you build up your personal

self-belief and image, that might never happen. And in the

meantime, youre actually creating more harm than good.

A simple way of handling the feeling of "yeah right" or any

other negative response, is to reduce the item youre

thinking about to something that is still a stretch, but is

believable to you. Remember, the vision board is ongoing

and ever changing. Once the item(s) you've listed have

materialized or your personal belief in yourself has

increased, simply increase your target(s).

For example, if you are making $20K per year right now,

you might think it's impossible to have a goal of $1M a

year. But if you can see yourself making $100K a year,

then start there. As you see yourself getting closer to that

goal, stretch it out further; say maybe $500K, and so on.

Eventually you will see yourself making $1M a year and

more.

something in your life causing you trouble? Check out our

in-depth coaching program designed to help break those 34


limiting beliefs and/or get you in touch with the emotions

and feelings tied to your body & mind. Hop on over to

Power Step 6. Are You Emotionally Connected?

This, again, is something that is critical

to the success of your vision board, and

yet most people never talk about. It

applies not only to your vision board, but

also to planning experiences (previously known as setting

goals) to accomplish or simply visualize something into

your life.

You must be able to emotionally feel and get excited about

having what you desire in your life. You should actually

get a physically emotional response when you think about

having that awesome body youre about to get. You should

FEEL happy, excited, loved, energized, charged, and

passionate with a deep desire to really want whatever it is

you have placed on your vision board.

The bigger emotional response you feel to the item, the

more likely and quicker the chances of it appearing in your

life. You might even pay attention to where in your body

you are having this response. If your gut is churning with

pain or anxiety or you cant breathe, well, it may just not be

a good focus for you at this time. But if you feel a nice

warm glow all over your body, a smile in your eyes,



butterflies in your belly, and your heart feels warm and

open; then its the right focus.

There is no faking this! This has to be a true feeling of

emotion, not a let me fake it till I get that car. A good

way to do this is not to just think about having the car

sitting in your driveway, but actually visualize the

experience of driving it down the freeway. Feel and smell

the leather seats, feel the tension in the steering wheel as

you take that sharp bend, and then feel the rush of the wind

through your hair with all the windows down. Make it as

real as possible.

Now, I'm not talking about being emotionally attached to

the item. Instead, its an emotional response or reaction to

having it in your life when you look at your vision board.

Attachment is basically a craving to have that item in your

life or an unwillingness to let it go. The feeling of

emotional attachment is very different and can be damaging

to your emotional and/or financial health.

Important: When experiencing the item you want, it's very

important to do it in current time, as if it's happening right

now. You're lying on that beach right now, drinking the

Mai Tai and feeling the sun on your skin while listening to

the soft tropical music. 37


Knowing your vision board is working for you and

attracting into your life the things you asked for should

create a desire to jump out of bed in the morning ready for

the day, excited about what might manifest itself that day.



Power Step 7. Making It Happen With Action!

I know, I've already talked about this in

Power Step 2, but it's so important I'm

saying it again. You have to get off your

butt and do something! If you have the

vision of meeting new friends on your vision board, but

never leave the house or try connecting with people in

some way, it's unlikely to happen.

If your desired experience is to get that job as a CEO of a

Fortune 500 Company, but you don't get the education,

apply for the position and/or talk to the people you need to

get the position, the chances are slim that youre getting

that job.

Tip: One excellent activity is to write down the necessary

steps to accomplish the experience you're after. If your

desired experience is to find the love of your life, you

might write a list like: 1. Describe my perfect partner in

detail. 2. Join a dating site. 3. Start hanging out where

he/she might hang out. 4. Get active with groups that do the

activities I enjoy. 4. Join various www.meetup.com groups.

5. Ask friends if they know anybody. 6. Talk to the people

I'm attracted to. 7. Learn to relax, listen and be fun. Write

these down as a list of actions to take and pin these onto or

next to your vision board. Then of course, do the actions! 39


Try to do at least one thing every day that moves you

towards your end result.

Yes, I know, more work! What can I say? :)

By the way, you just might find that after all the work of

going through the steps, you bump into your ideal partner

at the local super market or by some strange sequence of

events you never even dreamed of. However, if you don't

do something, you dramatically reduce the chances of it

happening. I talk about this more in the next secret.

By the way, taking action does not mean you have to work

like a slave 80 hours a week. And it certainly does not

mean being busy for the sake of being busy. It simply

means taking steady steps towards the goals or experiences

you wish to have in your life. Staying focused and keeping

an open mind and an open eye to magic happening around

you. But do be willing to take chances: try things you've

never done before and be willing to fail a few times.

Remember, the only people that really fail are those that

never even try. Also, you can certainly start small. If your

goal is to run a marathon, start by taking a 20-minute walk,

and then adding a run every 1-2 minutes, alternating and

increasing until you are running the entire length in

preparation for that marathon.



Power Step 8. Leave it to the Universe.

Okay, I'm about to contradict what I

just said in Power Step 7. There

seems to be a lot of this going

around. The universe works in

strange, but loving ways. You need

to take action, but you also need to trust and leave it up to

the universe to manifest what you're looking for in the way

it feels best.

Believe me; you could never even come close to the

billions of magical ways and ideas the universe can conjure

up to bring something into your life, ways that you could

never even dream of. I have seen and heard about some of

the most amazing and extraordinary ways things have

appeared in peoples lives.

This is also very different from Power Step 4, where we

talk about holding onto a particular or specific thing or

person you want to manifest into your life. What we're

talking about here is limiting your mind to just one way of

receiving what you're looking for. This could result in you

missing the very thing you want to manifest by expecting it

to show up in a certain way, while it arrives from a totally

different direction or resource!



This can become fun, when something shows up in a very

different form and way that you totally were not expecting.

For example, you might want a dream vacation that is

going to cost $5,000 and out of the blue you get a tax

refund for $5,000. Then TravelZoo.com sends out an

amazing deal offering a $12,000 trip for just $5,000 to that

dream location. It might be an idea to just go ahead and

book that vacation.

Again, keep an open mind and an open eye for magic

happening around you. You'll be surprised how often it

happens if you are willing to look.

A personal experience: I've been fortunate to have gotten

involved in business through some very odd turns of

events. Ive met people out of the blue when it was the last

thing I was expecting and had money come from the most

obscure situations. For instance, money might appear not

only as cash in hand, but as a reduction in a bill, a refund

that you werent expecting, an inheritance from somebody

you never knew or maybe an opportunity to increase your

income. You have to believe that the universe will deliver!

So, go ahead and develop those steps towards your desired

experiences, just stay open to receiving them in any form

that comes your way. 42


An example: I've heard stories about people wanting to

travel overseas to a certain country, only for the company

they're working for to open up a new office in that location

and then ask them to relocate. Ive known people wanting

to live in a certain type of home with no way of paying for

it, only to have the owner of that very home ask them to

house sit for a year or two, and on and on. Just keep an

open mind and let the universe do its thing; trust that it will

happen!



Power Step 9. Conflicting Or Negative Goals Can Bite!

These can cause you real problems if

you're not careful. If you want something

bad to happen to somebody and focus on

this, be very aware, it's probably going to

come back and bite you hard.

The universe is about creating love and happiness, not

about creating problems for people. If you are wishing

something bad to happen, your subconscious mind does not

know you mean it for somebody else, it just knows that's

what you want and you'll probably end up with it. OUCH!

The same goes with constant negative thoughts. Your

subconscious only sees the thoughts and does not

differentiate between negative and positive, good or bad,

and thinks this is what you want in your life. That's why

forgiving someone is so powerful; you stop the negative

thoughts and allow your thoughts to flow towards more

positive areas!

The same applies to conflicting goals. For instance, if

you're married, don't think about getting a little romance on

the side. These things rarely work out. If you're in an

unhappy marriage, make fixing that a priority on your



vision board. Then go through the Be-Do-Have steps above

and pin them next to the board or somewhere you can see

and follow them.

Organizing Your List of Dreams and Desires. Okay now for some important stuff. After going through

all the 9 Power Steps above, you should have a pretty good

idea of what is going to be on your final list of dreams and

desires to put onto your vision board. But lets just cover

what the final list should be and how you came to that list.

1. You started with a list of every possible thing you

wanted in your life: the things you want to do, the people

you want to have in your life and be associated with, the

places you want to go, and the things you want to have.

This should have been a list regardless of limitations,

conditions or your ability to achieve or have these things in

your life right now.

2. You made sure that there are a lot of personal goals

that are meaningful for you, and the list was not all about

toys. Toys are great and can be a lot of fun, but there is a

lot more to happiness than having the latest Bentley Turbo.

3. You took this list and brought all the Yeah Right

items down to a believable and yet challenging level.

Something that is a real challenge for you to achieve, but

believable. By the way, you might have a goal of winning a 45


dream vacation that is in no way possible for you right

now, but you just have total belief that it is going to

happen this is fine. Keep it. As long as you believe it,

keep it.

4. You made sure that there is some type of positive

emotional reaction to the items on the list; some sort of

desire to really have these things in your life that gives you

a warm fuzzy feeling when you think about it.

5. There are no negative or conflicting items or ones that

contradict other current projects in your life that you dont

want to lose. You dont have items on your list that would

create a negative effect in someone elses life.

6. Youre open to having the universe deliver these

dreams and desires in whatever way the universe sees is

best for you and from whatever direction it may come.

Now, go through this list and number all of the items on a

scale from 1 to 10, with 10 being an absolute must for your

life that you cannot live without, and 1 being something

you can definitely live without. Base this as well on your

emotional reaction when you think about the item. The

stronger the positive feeling, the higher you should

probably rank it.

Its up to you what number you want to pick, but it should

probably be 5 or higher, and then make a list of all these 46


items. These are the things that you want to put on your

vision board, with the purpose of them coming to you or

remaining in your life.

Why 5 or higher? This is not to diminish the importance of

the lower numbered items but they obviously are not as

important in your life right now as the 5's and above. You

want things that you're passionate about having in your life

now, so when you look at the board you can see and want

that in your life. A number 2 item probably does not have

any urgency to it and probably not the same excitement and

passion as a number 9 item. It also certainly can be added

later if it becomes more important down the road.

Now, lets move on to actually creating your vision board.



CREATING YOUR VISION BOARD. Yayyou've put in the time and effort and really thought

about what you want to manifest into your life.

Congratulations, you're now already way ahead of about

95% of the people in this world. What you've done so far

will give you a lot of clarity on where your life is heading,

what you want to achieve, and hopefully some steps to

make it happen. This alone will help you dramatically

move forward in life. But now, lets create your vision

board.

Use one or a combination of the following methods to

design and build your vision board.

Let's Start With Getting The Pictures...



Pictures, Drawings, and Images You Personally Took, Drew or Painted. Do you have pictures you've taken that inspire or motivate

you? Pictures of a house, car, wedding, relationship,

vacation, etc.? Look through some of your personal

pictures or images, and see if anything applies. You might

also have books with drawings or art you made that you

might be able to use. These items will have a lot more

meaning to you if theyre pictures you've taken yourself or

ones you've drawn. If you can use these, start here.

If you want to keep the picture or drawing, or are worried

about losing or damaging it, then scan and print it out.

Also, if you have any special quotes or sayings you love,

start making a collection of them now.



Collecting Pictures and Images from Magazines.

1. Find as many magazines as

you can from various sources.

You might already have a

collection that you've put

aside, but if not, a good place

to look is public libraries, which often have a stack that you

might be able to take home. Ask friends for their old copies

of magazines. Look in dental or medical offices, and beauty

places such as salons or spas. YMCA and sport centers all

quite often have old magazines lying around which they

may not mind you taking. The last alternative, of course, is

buying a few that inspire you or focus on the areas of your

life you are focusing on for your vision board.

2. You want to get a good selection of different styles and

types of magazines. A few of the magazines I might

suggest are style magazines like Cosmopolitan, O, and

Vogue. Or home magazines like Sunset or Real Simple.

Maybe get some money magazines such as Fast Company

or Fortune. And, dont forget about health and yoga

magazines, travel magazines, sports magazines, marriage

magazines, etc.



3. Now, get to cutting. Put on some fun music and go

through the magazines, clipping out everything that looks

like it was on your list, looks & feels good, or just simply

appeals to you. Don't worry about what it is for now, just

cut out everything you like the look of. Be sure to include

images, pictures of people, logos, words and sayings that

inspire you. Have fun with the process and find lots of great

pictures, symbols and words. Be creative and possibly even

use special scissors that cut out the pictures with a designed

look. You should end up with a huge stack of images and

words to sort through later.

4. Now, look through the images and separate them into

two piles; the ones you like and feel connected to, and the

ones you're not sure about. Use your intuition, and pick

what feels right to you, whats exciting, what stimulates

you or appeals to you somehow. Trust yourself, and if it

does not feel right, put it in the not sure pile. While you're

going through this process, feel free to think back or look

through the lists you created of things you want to manifest

in your life.

*Jump to step 8 below if you're not looking for online

images.



Collecting Pictures and Images from the Internet.

Tip: Before you start collecting images

online, one of the basic tools you're

going to need is a color printer. Black

and white will work, but I don't

recommend it. If you don't own or have

access to a color printer, I would not recommend using

online images. You're also going to use quite a bit of ink,

so beware of the costs.

5. There are many sites on the web nowadays that have

more pictures of every possible idea than you could ever

need or imagine. I'll go through several of these sites in a

minute. There are also many tools to help you capture and

personalize your images, making it easy to add icons,

badges, words or sentences. You're also able to manipulate

the pictures however you see fit, whether they are pictures

found on the internet or your personal photos.

Here are 3 great tools I like to use:

Snagit: This is an awesome tool for capturing and playing

with the images. You can very easily capture an image and

then place wording on it and crop it to how you like,

including adding fancy borders and edging, etc. It's also



great for overlaying images on top of each other (great for

putting your head on top of a body you would love to have

or shaking hands with a person you would like to meet),

and many more awesome things. It costs $49.95 at the time

of writing, but does have a free months trial.

Jing: This is a similar type of product to Snagit, and from

the same company, but nowhere near as versatile. I've not

really used Jing much, so I cannot say too much about it,

but it should give you the ability to do what you're looking

for and it's free.

Picmonkey.com: I really love this site. It's an online

picture editor that allows you to drop an image into it and

do some simply amazing things. It's all done online, so

there is no software to download, and the best part... it's

free! There are a wide range of special effects you can add

such as borders, shades, exposures, fonts, effects, touchups

and much more. You'll love it!

Tip: Don't feel like you have to define in depth each picture

or write on it exactly what you're looking for. Believe me;

the universe knows what you want. I might write something

like, "I love this experience," but don't go too in-depth in

writing on the image.

53


These 3 tools alone should give you a great head start on

collecting and creating some awesome images for your

vision board.

Great sites to find images.

Google Images: An amazing collection of

practically everything you could want, picture-

wise. Just type in what you're looking for, and see what

comes up. Youll find pages and pages of pictures, images,

logos, wording and much more.

Pinterest: I love this site. People create picture

boards of various subjects, and there are some

amazing pictures you can find. Some people

literally have thousands of pictures on their pages. Do a

search, for instance, on awesome houses and you'll be

amazed of what comes up. This is also a great place to find

motivational or inspiring quotes and pictures. You never

know what you're going to find, so give it a try.

Shuttersstock.com, istockphoto.com, sxc.hu and other

royalty-free image sites: With most of these image sites,

you'll have to pay to get the images. There are sites like

sxc.hu, where I believe it is free to download and use their

images, but check before you do. However, there is an 54


awesome selection of high-quality professional images for

nearly everything you could want.

Magazine sites: Nearly every magazine has an online

presence today. Pull up your favorite magazine and just

start clicking through their site.

Facebook.com: Yep, what website list would

be complete without mentioning good old

Facebook? Most magazines also have Facebook

pages, which are full of images where you can find some

amazing things. Look for inspirational pictures, sayings and

quotes perfect for you.

On a side note... if you're looking for some awesome daily

motivational and inspirational quotes and sayings, check

out our Facebook page at

www.facebook.com/breakthroughtoawesome. Just click the

like on our page to get your daily fix of great advice,

motivation, and inspirational postings.

6. Now, once you've found all the images you're looking

for, edited them to your satisfaction, and saved them onto

your computer, it's time to print them out. To start with,

sort out any images you just don't like or don't have some

sort of emotional connection to. Put all the images you feel 55


you want to use into a separate folder on your computer.

Then, simply copy them over onto a word document,

putting as many images as you can fit on a page, and print

them out.

Tip: I recommend using gloss paper, because it's heavier

and looks so much better than standard paper. It does cost a

little more, but its worth the extra expense.

7. Go through the images and just clip out everything that

you've printed out. You should have already sorted them

into the images you want to use before you print them, so

you are not wasting valuable resources, and rather only

printing a big stack of images and words you will want to

use on the next step.



Lay Out the Images 8. Lay out all the pictures you feel connected to on your

poster or cork board. There really is no right way to do this,

and I've seen many variations. I personally like to put the

pictures into groups, so that when I look at the board, it's

easy see the various sections, such as a group of business

pictures, social pictures, people I want to connect to, things

I want, health, spiritual, etc. This works for me, but might

not be right for you.

Other people lay out their boards randomly, by scattering

the pictures in a way that feels good to them. This is also

fine, as the subconscious looks at the board as a whole. The

subconscious and the universe will know what you want

and will start manifesting these into your life.

Some try to create a story out of their boards, placing their

pictures in some type of order flowing towards an overall

idea or theme. Again, it doesnt matter. Any way that

works for you is fine. Just lay the images and words out

onto the board so you feel connected to it.

An additional idea I recommend and do myself is to include

a picture or two of yourself in the center of the board. I

have two pictures of myself on my current board; one of



me meditating on the bow of a small boat sailing up a river

in Cambodia and one of me riding an elephant in Thailand.

Both portray more things I would love to keep or bring into

my life: peace, tranquility, travel, fun, excitement, and

happiness. I think you get the picture

Quick Tip. Changes happen! Life goes through various

phases, both good and bad. Things simply don't stay the

same. You will have times when things are going

amazingly well and other times when things, well, basically

suck! Visualization and vision boarding can help you get

through these times quicker, but this is a part of life. I've

had quite a few bad times in my life, such as a divorce and

the collapse of businesses. But, things change and do get

better. They always do. And, the good part is... when they

do, they tend to be better than before.

Therefore, I keep important things on my board that I

currently have the things I want to keep in my life. These

things used to be toys, but now they have more to do with

happiness, love, excitement, fun and so on. And, sometimes

its a nice new toy that brings some new excitement and

fun.

9. Now its time to pin or glue the pictures down. Again, it

does not really matter in what way you lay out the 58


board...whatever works for you is right! Obviously, though,

if you're using a cork board, you probably don't want to

glue the images down. I like to use a cork board and pins as

I can easily remove an image if after a few days it does not

appeal to me, or I can add images later and easily move

things around.

Many people prefer gluing the items to their vision board.

This way they dont need to worry about pins falling out.

You can move the board to anywhere you want, and you

wont need to worry about stepping on those pesky pins.

Also, if you have kids, glue might be a better way to go.

Do what you feel is right and what works for you. You can

use paste or even rubber cement to secure down the

pictures. Glue sticks are okay, but can tend to lose their

stickiness after a couple of months. Also, photo tabs or

some type of double-sided tape can work well and might be

worth looking at.

Again, there really is no right or wrong way: just lay it all

out, and pin or glue down the pictures until youre happy

about your creation.



Congratulations, you should now

have a vision board that is going to

help you manifest some magical and

amazing things into your life.

If you can, put the vision board in a place that you can see

it daily. This can be in your office, above your computer,

on the inside of your closet door, in your living room or

bedroom, or just someplace where you can see it and let it

remind you of what you are focusing on manifesting into

your life.

If possible, look at it first thing in the morning, and let it be

the last thing you look at before you go to bed. I take a

picture of mine and sometimes pull it up during the day to

remind me of what I'm trying to achieve and attract into my

life.

Tip: If you have a smart phone, take a picture of your new

board and set an alarm to go off during the day to remind

you to look at your vision board.



THE NEXT STEP TO FASTER SUCCESS

Big Bonus Power Step #1 - ACCOMPLISHMENT BOARDS

This is something that, up to the point of this writing, I've

not heard anybody else really talk about. It's a great way of

increasing your self-esteem, boosting your confidence, and

overcoming the disbelief factor of your ability to achieve

the experiences and goals on your vision board.

The idea is to create an accomplishment board of all the

awesome things you have done, have achieved, are proud

of, and have accomplished so far in your life. These are

basically things youve done in the past that youre really

proud of, awards youve won, feats youve accomplished,

or times where you amazed yourself by achieving despite

thinking it wasnt possible. And, yes everybody has many

of these, regardless of where they are now in their life.

I'm not going to get into too many of mine, but for

example, on my accomplishment board, I have the fact that

I won a diving competition very unexpectedly when I was

only 10 years old. I was written up as one of the 10 best

paintball players in the world, ran multiple businesses, and



spent a year traveling Africa and on and on. Looking at

this board gives me a much higher belief in myself.

If you're sitting there thinking, "I've not really done

anything," you need to look deeper. It can be as simple as

somebody saying you did really well at something, or

getting some type of award or recognition at school. Do

you have great friends? Put that down as an

accomplishment. Do you like your job or have you ever

received any recognition for your work? Have you lost a

certain amount of weight or met somebody you really

admired? These are all accomplishments.

And no, this is not about being arrogant, big headed or

showing off. It's not designed for you to run around

showing other people how great you are. You've achieved

some amazing things and this board is just to help remind

you of that fact. Youre an amazing person and if you can

achieve these things, you can achieve much more.

Now for a quick warning. If you have a negative

perspective or outlook on your life, please don't look at this

board and think to yourself, "Is that all I've accomplished?"

or "Everybody else has done so much more than me." You

are AWESOME for who you are today and who you're

going to become tomorrow. And, if you put in the effort 62


and follow these steps Ive outlined, you should see

dramatic changes in your life...regardless of how successful

you've been up until today. Admire who you are today and

set bigger and better targets for tomorrow.

To create an accomplishment board, start by making a list

of all the things in your life that you can think of that

youre proud of. If you cant remember, ask someone else

to help you. Now, simply go through the same process as

the vision board, but with those things youre proud of

about yourself.



Big Bonus Power Step #2 - GRATITUDE BOARDS

I personally believe that both the act of gratitude and

thinking about what youre grateful for are very important.

I love waking up every morning and thinking of at least 10

things I'm grateful for. If possible, try and come up with at

least 10 different things every day.

Why is being grateful so powerful? Its showing your

subconscious mind that you want these things in your life.

When you first start this, you might have a problem coming

up with what to be grateful for. Simply waking up is a good

one to start with; seeing your room, breathing the air

around you, hearing your kids playing, thinking of the

breakfast you're about to eat, appreciating the job you have,

being able to get dressed in good clothes, putting on shoes,

and on and on. You get the idea.

One trick is to be grateful for things that are going to come

into your life in the future as if you have them now. Im

often grateful for my great health, for living in an awesome

world, for having incredible friends, for having a life I love,

for having awesome parents, and so on.



Tip: If you dislike your work environment or the people

working there simply stop paying attention to all the things

that annoy or upset you. And yes, if you dislike your work

place, this is more than likely what you're doing. Start

looking for things that you're grateful for, the things you

like in the environment and your work mates. Sue brought

in lunch; Fred said you looked happy; somebody cleaned

up the kitchen area without being asked. Look for

something magical to happen every day. You might be

amazed how quickly your work environment and those who

work there change. Orwas it you that changed your

perception of the work and people you work with?

So these are the types of things you can have on your

gratitude board. And unlike your vision and

accomplishment boards, which you should only change

when a new situation appears, you can keep changing your

gratitude board. Have a series of things that you rotate

through or think of that youre grateful for.



VISION CARDS

Vision cards are

smaller pieces of cards,

such as index cards or

post cards that you post

individual images and

messages on. You can

also write some sort of

message, intention, poem or prayer on the back or front of

the card to personalize it and make it more meaningful for

you. Pick different areas of your life you want to improve

on, the same as on the vision board, but you're only looking

to put an individual or similar picture on each card.

Once you've put them together, written your message,

intention, poem or prayer on the card getting them

laminated is a good idea. The FedEx office can do this

inexpensively, and it's well worth it. You can then carry the

cards around with you, and they will last much longer.

You'll be able to look back at the cards in the years to come

and see the amazing things that came true and how your

life has transformed.

Pick out a card or two every day and visualize it in your life

right now. Similar to vision boards, think of being actively



engaged in whatever it might be as if you have it in your

life today. If it's your dream house, imagine walking around

it, touching the walls, taking a shower, looking out the

window at the amazing view, swimming in the pool, and so

on.



VISION JOURNALS

A vision Journal is

a journal-style

book or drawing

pad that you can

create and, if you

want, add to as

you think of more things. Start it the same way as a vision

board, but get some type of hard- or soft-back book or

drawing pad that you want to use. Spiral bound books tend

to work well, as it's easy to rip out pages later if you want.

As you're creating the journal, you can also add notes,

poems, prayers or other things that will keep you focused

on manifesting your dreams and creating your ideal life. As

you keep expanding the book, you can make notes of how

things are changing for you and what magic is happening

around you as you continue on this journey.

Being able to look back and see notes of things that have

magically happened can keep you pushing for more and

growing your belief in this process, and in you.



ONLINE AND DIGITAL VISION BOARDS There are many programs you can buy to help you create a

digital vision board and allow you to watch it on your

computer or upload it to YouTube or another video media

service. One great thing about digital vision boards is that

you can add inspiring music to them to play along with the

images as well as type in inspiring quotes or sayings over

the pictures.

Creating a digital vision board gives you the easy ability to

simply watch a quick three-minute or whatever-length-you-

choose movie in the morning and evening. And, if you put

it on YouTube, you can watch it throughout the day if you

have an internet connection.

However, there is a drawback with digital vision boards.

Unless you're using programs like PowerPoint that you

may or may not have on your computer, you may have to

buy the software. This can cost $99 or more, and then you

need to learn a whole new program and process of putting

it together. If you're not technically minded or dont want

to put in the extra dollars, start with a regular vision

board...you'll find it much quicker and affordable to start

with.



Q & A - COMMON QUESTIONS AND MYTHS ABOUT VISION BOARDS.

Question: Do I need to change my life before I start?

The simple answer is no... Just get started. You definitely

don't need to become an expert in meditation or live at the

top of a mountain for a year in robes or become some

mystical yogi. You are in the perfect place and perfect time

right now in your life to start making changes. Everything

is as it should be right now given your mindset. But you

have to get started. You have to take that first step, or

nothing will happen or change in your life.

Question: Should I set a timeframe to manifest whats on

my vision board, journal, or cards?

Yes, its a good idea to set a timeframe, but dont get too

attached to the timing, because the universe has its own

time table as to when its the right time for you to receive.

Put down a timeframe in which you would like to receive

what youre looking to manifest, but dont set everything

for tomorrow because that most likely wont happen.

Question: Can I use a vision board to change somebody

else?

The simple answer to that is, NO. Your vision board is

about changing your life, not somebody else's. We have



control over the way we think and act, and what we say and

do, but we certainly cannot make somebody else do

anything unless they want to.

You can put them on our board and see them happier,

healthy, and more loving, or whatever it is you want for

them. You can then certainly help, encourage and motivate

the person, but they will need to want the change; it's not

up to you. The same goes with making a certain person hire

you or fall in love with you, or whatever it may be; you

cannot manifest for someone else. Don't get stuck on

changing a particular person; it's very unlikely to happen.

Question: Seriously, does this stuff really work?

If you doubt it's going to work, there is probably not much I

can say or do to prove otherwise. You're going to spend

possibly two to three days working on creating a vision

board if you do it right as laid out above. Let's just say it's

all mumbo jumbo voodoo stuff and has no effect on your

life. At least you now have a clearer vision of what you

want to work towards, a more focused direction you're

going in life. But, if you expect and keep your eyes open

for the magic happening around you, you might be happily

surprised.



Question: I cannot find the images I'm looking for, what

should I do?

If you're looking for images about feelings, this can

sometimes be a problem, and even physical items like

watches can sometimes be a problem in magazines. I would

suggest looking online in Google Images or Pinterest. If

you cannot find them there, look at the paid services like

Shutterstock.com. As a last resort, you could always try

drawing or designing it yourself.

Question: Isn't this just like wishing?

A wish is a desire or hope for something, but has no real

substance behind it. But, if you wish for it every day and

see it in your mind as its happening now, then it becomes

more like visualization. A vision board takes this one step

further and actually puts a physical image to the

visualization and helps your subconscious mind and the

universe get into vibration with this being in your life.

Question: Should I remove an item from the vision board

if it comes to me?

This depends on what it is. If your goal is to have ongoing

good health or a great relationship, it might be an idea to

keep the image up, as it's an ongoing goal. If you want a

certain income and you now want to step it up, then

absolutely take down the lower amount and increase it. 72


Question: Can I change my mind about things I put on

the vision board?

The chances are you very well might do just that. Your

concept about what you want in your life and where you

want to go throughout this process is going to change. I've

seen people start with lots of little details and then change

to a bigger picture about their lives with a realization that,

for them, the details don't matter as much.

Question: Can I use the vision board to change my bad

habits?

Absolutely! But remember, it takes at least 21 days of daily

activity to change a habit. Like I've mentioned many times,

a goal is not going to change on its own without your acting

on it. But put the vision of the new you without the habit on

the board. Also, to change a bad habit it's a good idea to

replace it with a good one. So put that on the board next to

it.

Question: My spouse thinks I'm crazy doing this, what

should I do?

You don't need another persons permission to move your

life forward, even if it is your spouse. And, if you wait for

them to change their mind, you'll probably never move

forward with this life-changing project. I understand that it

can be frustrating, but let them know this is important to 73


you and you're going to give it a shot, and you don't expect

them to participate, but you would like their support.

Simple communication about this can sometimes help a lot.

Don't let their resistance or disbelief in the process affect

your belief that the things on the vision board are going to

manifest. Push forward with full belief and expectations.

Once things start changing, there will very likely be a

change of viewpoints from the other person. But, you don't

want to end up in 10 years regretting not trying because of

somebody else's viewpoint.

Question: Should I use a certain color background on my

poster board, like green or red?

As with the layout of the pictures, there really is no right or

wrong answer to that. The universe really does not care one
