The age old concept of vision boards is that by displaying what you want to achieve in pictures you’re more likely to accomplish those goals. But, you may wonder...

Do Vision Boards Really Work?

A Forbes article cites a survey by TD Bank, stating...

Statistics back this up...

• 76% of business owners who used a vision board or other visual representation said their business is where they envisioned it would be.

• 82% that used a vision board from the get-go reported that they have accomplished more than half the goals included on that board.

Jim Carrey, famous successful actor and Golden Globe recipient once lived in a van.

So...experts, statistics, and celebrities all agree that vision boards work. Are you curious how?

I bet you’ve heard the saying... 

It’s true, and here’s why...

(for the curious nerds, like me)

• Images bypass the cerebral cortex, where language is processed, and speak far more effectively to the brain’s deep subconscious. This helps us tap into intuition and emotion, which are keys to success with vision boards or visualization.
• Mirror neurons and neural resonance kick in during visualization, activating parts of our brain that more easily access ideas, motivation, and solutions.

Why is this important?

It's important to understand that a vision board isn't just about putting pictures on a board. It's valuable to know how to use emotion to help you clarify your vision and select the best images and words, and also to learn and use techniques that help you energize your vision routinely to turn it into reality.

I also hope knowing that there’s a little “magic” in vision boards that you don’t get with standard goal setting helps motivate you to complete the process, so you have your own powerful, goal-achievement, dream-manifestation, roadmap-to-success tool!

When utilized to their full potential, vision boards can help you stay focused, motivated, and inspired, and ultimately make your dreams come to life.
