Should You Make A Vision Board For Your Home Based Business?

So many of the articles I’ve written lately seem to be focused on motivation and mindset. That’s because in a home based business there is perhaps nothing that is more important. Motivation can be the difference between huge success and moderate success. It can also be the difference between success and failure.

If you’ve seen the dvd “The Secret” you know that they advocate people putting up visual images of the things they want and desire. They claim that by putting those things out in the universe they will eventually come to you. I don’t believe that. However, I do believe that giving yourself something visual to motivate you can have a huge impact of how you live your life from day to day.

By putting visual reminders up in places where you will see them everyday like a bathroom mirror, a car visor, an office, or on your bedroom door you’ll never be short on motivation and you’ll never forget what you really want out of life.

That’s why I believe that if you’re a home based business owner (or just someone looking for more success in their lives) you should have a vision board.

A vision board is simply a compellation of pictures, phrases and visual illustrations of anything you want. People have vision boards for weight loss, business, or personal relationships. You can use personal pictures of yourself as well as articles, pictures and short phrases from magazines, books, newspapers and online.

By putting this collage of things in a place where you’ll be sure to see it everyday it will keep you much more on track. Many people like to put their vision boards on cork board or a poster board so that they can move it to anyplace they need it. From the bedroom to the home office to the kitchen! Also, if you put it on something you can move you can put it away if someone is coming over and you’re not really ready for them to see it.

A vision board is simply a visual illustration of all the things you want to own or accomplish. And while the board alone won’t get you what you want it will motivate you to do whatever you need to do to make those things possible in your own life. That’s why I feel that no home based business owner should be without one!
