7 Step Quick Start Guide to Designing the Perfect Vision Board for Unlimited Success

Creating vision boards is a fun, creative and engaging process. Chances are you’re reading this because you already know the power of vision boards and how they are a great tool to manifesting your aspirations. So I will skip the detail on vision boards, what they are used for and how they have an impact on overall goal achieve achievement. If you want a refresher, feel free to check-out the science behind vision boards and how to use your vision board for goal setting. 

In this quick-start guide, I’ll walk you through 7 easy steps to design the perfect vision board that will set you on the path to success. Let’s dive in! 

Step 1: Define Your Goals

Before you get creating (I know you’re excited),, take a moment to define your goals for the year.  What do you want to achieve? Whether it's landing your dream job, traveling the world, or adopting a healthier lifestyle, be as specific as possible. Clarity is your best friend here.

If you’re ambitious, I would recommend defining your goals for 1-year, 3-years and 5-years. But for simplicity sake, you can keep it to a 1-year timeframe. 

Step 2: Gather Your Images, Statement Words, and Inspirational Phrases

First, decide if you’re going to create a digital vision board or a physical vision board. I recommend creating a digital vision board in Canva (for many reasons), but it’s up to you! For this quick-start guide, I will focus on a digital vision board - but the same concepts apply.

Now, think about your goals you established in step 1. You’ll want to find images that represent your goals. If you create your vision board in Canva, you can use stock images. You can also utilize Unsplash as a resource for gathering images. 

Once you gather your images, think about statement words you’d like to include in your vision board. Statement words could be your core values or things that you want to focus on for the year. Also include any inspirational phrases or quotes.

Step 3: Get Inspired

Pinterest is a great resource for getting inspired. Simply type in Vision Board Examples in the search bar and you’ll see a smattering of vision board ideas! This is the fun part! Let your imagination run wild and choose whatever sparks your motivation.

Step 4: Start Creating

Now, the real action begins. Begin arranging those inspiring images, statement words and  quotes on your board. There are no rules here – go for a chaotic collage or a neat and tidy layout, whatever works for you.

Step 5: Personalize It

Your vision board should be a reflection of you and your aspirations. Feel free to add your personal touch by decorating it in a way that speaks to your heart - think colors, a photo of you, etc. 

Step 6: Display It Proudly

Put your vision board somewhere you'll see it every day - like the wallpaper on your phone or computer, in your office, bedroom, or even your kitchen – wherever you'll be reminded of your goals constantly. The more you see it, the more you'll be motivated to take action.

Step 7: Believe and Act

Your vision board is your daily dose of inspiration, but remember, it's not magic on its own. You have to believe in it and, more importantly, believe in yourself. Take concrete steps towards your goals. 

Bonus Tip: Share Your Vision

Sharing your vision board with friends and family can be an extra boost of motivation. They can offer support and encouragement, keeping you on track when the going gets tough.

Creating a vision board is like setting an intention for your future success. It's a creative and visual representation of your dreams that keeps you motivated and focused. With this 7-step quick start guide, you'll be well on your way to designing the perfect vision board for unlimited success. Your path to success is just a vision board away!
