If I were to ask you what your business goals were for the next year, would you launch into a rehearsed spiel of your steps to success or would you scratch your head and start umm-ing and ahh-ing something about making more money or possibly reaching more clients?
If it’s the latter, you need this post on how to make a business vision board.
The above isn’t to throw shade at anyone who hasn’t clearly defined their goals yet.
In business, there are so many things to do, think about, and delegate, that small tasks like creating a vision board or even thinking further into the future than the week ahead seem impossible as you try and keep your head above water.
This is your friendly reminder that making time to think about where you see your business heading in the future is completely necessary and while cutting out images for a corkboard may seem like a waste of time, it’s actually the opposite.
In this post, we’re going to be talking you through how to make a business vision board, as well as whether it’s the right move for you and whether they even work.
By the end of reading this article, you’ll know exactly how to create an inspiring and motivating board full of the business accomplishments you are yet to achieve.
What Is A Business Vision Board?
A business vision board is a visual representation of your goals.
While many people make a vision board for their personal lives, filled with images of luxury sports cars and vacations in the Maldives, fewer people tend to create these types of visual aids for their business goals.
However, having a tangible resource that showcases where you want to be in a month, a year, or a decade can help you to stay motivated and keep on pushing, no matter how unrealistic your desires appear.
Do Business Vision Boards Work?
Vision boards are a popular manifestation tool, used to increase energetic vibration by keeping the user hyper-focused on their goals.
Manifestation is part of the Law of Attraction, which says that everything in the Universe has its own energetic frequency.
By increasing our own energetic vibration, we can align with our desires and bring them into reality by simply focusing on what it is that we want.
The theory is that “like attracts like” meaning that if you use positivity and love to focus on your goal, you’ll draw the thing that you’re seeking to you like a magnet.
However, if you’re coming from a place of low frequency and feeling negative about the outcome of your manifestation practice, you’ll likely attract more negativity and fail to bring what you want into your reality.
Many people find the actual imagining to be the difficult part as the Law of Attraction insists that you need to gain crystal-clear clarity on what it is that you want in order to create it.
It makes sense, right? If I was asked to draw a face, I couldn’t be expected to depict Leonardo di Caprio perfectly without being told it was him I was supposed to be creating an artwork of.
Likewise, a vision board can be a way of defining exactly what it is that you want. Then, when you are visualizing and manifesting, you can draw your attention back to your vision board to remind yourself of each one of your business goals.
In saying all of this, business vision boards work for a specific type of person. Those who can see the tool as a form of inspiration and use it as a building block to work toward their goals will find business vision boards to be extremely helpful.
Those who feel daunted by the work needed to reach success may find that an action board is a more powerful tool for them than a vision board.
And, those who find vision boards to be a reminder of everything they don’t have yet, may not find it a useful or productive part of their manifestation practice at all.
How To Make A Business Vision Board
The first step in how to make a business vision board is getting clear on what you want.
This step usually takes the longest but is the most important part, meaning you should take the time to sit with yourself and have a good long think about where your future is heading.
The whole point of vision boards is that NOTHING is out of reach, so don’t send a thought out of your head simply because it doesn’t seem realistic.
In fact, those who are able to think delusionally in regard to how successful they are or want to be are often the ones who create that reality for themselves.
Write down all of the goals you think of in a journal or notebook and then get to work finding images that align with them. Unlike personal goals, such as a Range Rover or a vacation, it can be harder to find images that represent your business goals.
If you find this to be the case, find a picture that showcases your goal broadly and add your own touches to it.
For example, if your goal is to make US$1 million, you can print off an image of banknotes and write on the image itself your goal of a million bucks.
You can find images on Google or on free stock photo websites, such as Pexels or Unsplash.
While some people love the traditional approach of cutting and sticking images onto a board or pinning pictures onto a piece of cork, others like to have their business board right in front of them — on their computer screen.
The benefit of having your business vision board as the background and/or screensaver of your desktop or laptop is that it is always right there, regardless of where you’re working from.
This is especially handy for those who split their days between home and an office, as well as remote workers who choose to spend their time traveling.
These online versions of vision boards are also easier to make and you can find templates on websites, such as Canva. You’ll simply drag and drop the images that showcase your goals, add some punchy text, and save the board to your computer to then set as your screensaver.
Those without a printer won’t need to worry about finding a local printing shop and all of your pictures are guaranteed to be high quality.
There is no right or wrong method when it comes to how to make a business vision board. Some people love visual perfection while others aren’t so fussed. Your vision board doesn’t need to look Pinterest-perfect, as long as it is inspiring for you.
However, you may find that you’re more inclined to look at your masterpiece if it is visually alluring so add some bright pops of color, good-quality images, and bold written pieces of text that remind you of each goal.
Final Thoughts On Business Vision Boards
