Your Vision Board as a Clarity Tool- For Business, Life etc Can be Super Powerful! Life examples of Manifestations!
Does a Vision Board as a Clarity Tool Ever Really Work?
This article was first published on 13th January 2015 and today we have refreshed it for your pleasure. Did you know that Nothing Changes if Nothing Changes? Well today we are here to Empower, Inspire maybe even get you motivated to grow.
“In life, Nothing Changes if Nothing Changes! So change what you SEE, and you will change what you see”
What did you expect from your resolutions probably made hastily on new year’s day? Nothing written down, no process in mind or even ritual to make that vision a tangible and achievable goal? Maybe you even actually did put together a vision board last year, did you achieve your dream/s? Are you utilising your vision board as a clarity tool, stashed away in a drawer, gathering digital dust, or as a piece of wall art?
I hear someone ask…
What is a vision board? It’s a visual exposition of your inner desires aka dreams. It’s what gives you the motivation to go out there and take action after what you desire. A vision board as a clarity tool is amazingly powerful, and I will share with you why and how if you stick with me.
So, we ended the first fortnight of January with our blogging tips series and now its time to see if you are still on track with your goals for 2015 now 2016…Consider me your fav auntie Jules Syl and let’s talk about your Dreams!
First of all, what does the awesome book of life say about visioning? Go check out Habakkuk 2:1-3, I shall wait.
Okay welcome back, now let us look at…
Your Vision Board as a Clarity tool Listen to the Audio here OR Below.
So in order to create a vision board that will keep you Focused, you must ask yourself:
What’s my Major Goal In the next 12 months. 24 months, 5 yrs? As a starter, I would recommend you focus on the next 12 months.
Jack Canfield puts forward an awesome case for Creating a vision board as a visualization catalyst for your dreams and goals. This man is an amazing manifestor, the Author of Chicken Soup for The Soul! If you haven’t read that book, use that link & get it is now! You will love it and thank me later!
Talking of love, This is one of the most powerful emotions we can have. When You love someone/thing, and you FOCUS on showing it and allow those feelings of happiness and joy to flow naturally, you will create some magic. A wonderful blogger by the names of Shannon Seek propounds this theory in her #4pillarsFocus she has such positive energy manifesting what she chooses must be amazing!
Okay, let’s get back to the family utilizing a Vision Board as a clarity tool shall we…
I strongly recommend you actually sit down with your family esp. children and write down your family goals. Teach them how to create and use a vision board as a clarity tool too today! Years from now they will thank you for that lesson! Our children have been creating vision boards and Gratitude lists for 3 years now! And can I just say that everything they put on their lists and boards manifested for them last year…what!
And boy am I grateful for the fact that they believe, their energy is uncluttered and thus they are attracting what they DESIRE! I won’t share their private lists but all I can say is using a vision board as a clarity roadmap works indeed!
Your vision board is where you put those huge seemingly unattainable goals…yes. DON’T BE REALISTIC AT ALL on that board mate…It’s better to set big goals and not reach them but do very well, than to set average goals and put in average work to produce; well average to wee results!
I hear from a lot of my target audience and prospects;
“Well Julie I just want to make an extra $500 -1K/month”
What…Why don’t you just get a 2nd/3rd job then?
See, you will simply end up spending $50 -$500 “Investing in an online biz op” And wait for the online lottery to fall in your laps. All the while having shared with your mates Razza & Shaniqua who rejected you! Then you decided it’s best to head back to the pub and watch Arsenal beat Bayern Munich again or just watch soaps on telly…
Am I talking to you here???
“Create a vision board as a tool for clarity of what you desire!”
Well here is my dose of tough love: Are you a business owner? Create a vision board as a tool for clarity of what you desire! Set huge goals, then go out there and connect with 100 people per week minimum via social media and Build fast rapport! Find out what they need and point them in the direction they need. Be their beacon of light. Reaching out to 1-2 people per week huh! You call yourself an entrepreneur? Put in a heck of a lot more muscle into achieving your momentum and you will find results. While BELIEVING GOD for things unseen and see how He works in amazing ways.
Below are some of the things on my Vision Board!
- Corporate Connections
- Magazines I desire to work with
- Stages to speak on
- Speaking gigs – when, where? Set a date/s Write it down don’t mind about the details!
- The type of clients I prefer
- Destinations I dream of and the kind of travel I choose
- Local Festivals – Africa Oyee, Liverpool Music festival, Small Business Expo etc.
- Companies I choose to work with – Housing Companies (it’s what and who I know).
So let me ask you again:
What is your goal – what Do you choose to Focus on. You see, where your focus goes, your results flow.
Areas to focus Your Vision Board as a clarity tool could be:
- Faith – Mindset
- Fitness – Health & wellness
- Family – Relationships
- Friends – Social life
- Economy/Finances – Career/Business
To activate your vision board as a clarity tool in business and to start manifesting into your experience the career, job or income you desire, you must stop using words such as I want, I need and instead say “I DESIRE/I CHOOSE…(Fill in blank).” The reason why I suggest that you stop using I Want/Need words is because they are not so healthy. Lets look at a scripture that goes: “The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want.” Other translations say I shall not lack! In my humble opinion thus, want and lack mean the same thing. So in saying “I want XYZ,” you are projecting that you will LACK that thing for as long as you say you want it. You will keep lacking it. #micdrop
The word want, simply implies “Lack” and also focuses your energy on you not having whatever it is you Want or Need thus perpetuating that state in your life.
This is a lesson we have learnt from, the Bible, Louise Hay, Esther Hicks, Tony Robins, etc.
On the other hand, DESIRE comes from your soul/spirit it’s been put there by the Source of all good things. In my life that source is God! You know what you believe in. So absolutely Create vision boards based on Your Desires. Taste these things, Feel them, touch them, literally envision you having, feeling, touching, being that which you choose. Who is with you, what are they doing, where are you? SEE it in your mind’s eye and you will be creating it in your physical life. Because we are Co-creators with God because we are created in God’s image.(For those of us who believe this, yay) .
Let’s do right this minute man……(I can wait).
To Maximize a Vision Board as a Clarity tool -Vision Exercise:
Step 1:
Take 10 mins. Sit comfortably in a quiet space. if you can set some ambient soft music of your choice. Close your eyes right now and lets envision your dreams…
Empty your mind, take a few deep unforced breaths and let them out naturally as a sigh. If you do meditate this should be a breeze. 
As your breath gets deeper let whatever thoughts that drift into your mind be thoughts of Your Desires, let your imagination run riot! DREAM BIG….build it up.
“Let your imagination run riot! DREAM BIG….build it up.”
What are you doing?
Where are you, with whom,
What are you wearing,
Where are you going, are you driving? What car, colour, make, mod cons the “Angel is in the detail!” Are you in a building? Describe it in your mind…Go go go….Capture those images and save them in your hard drive aka brain! Carry on for 30 mins if time permits…OR stop if it’s not making sense to you…Don’t force it, try again tomorrow! Keep trying this until it becomes natural!
Okay are you getting the picture…? When I first did that exercise, it felt awkward and I felt fake, uncomfortable, a fraud…Now it flows naturally. It’s amazing! I can do visualization sessions anywhere, I have 10 mins I go! 
Simple Example: If I am heading to town, I sit in my car and Invite the Holy Spirit as my bestie to sit with me. I close my eyes for a minute and see myself at the destination, with a parking slot available, or a car leaving just as I arrive and the slot opens for me to park… Guess what? I get a parking slot for my car in a safe spot, every single time I do this exercise. Awesome, Right? You can do this for bigger things.
Step 2:
Those images you see in your mind find representations of them online or in magazines. Cut them out and paste them on your board with text of what you wish to achieve and a timeline!
Write that vision you just had down as much as you remember it…Now you have got the skeleton for your vision board! By eliciting the emotions, you are attracting those things into your life like magnets…Your emotions are connecting you to your desires. You are SETTING THE INTENTION and you are going to attract it, sooner or later. Better believe it!
That’s why you must focus only on the positive when you do such an exercise! Depending on your energy and vibrations…you could quite easily cause something to happen in your life superfast. So let’s make that a positive change shall we!
Let’s take this exercise further. Remember you are intention is to leverage a vision board as a clarity tool so it’s meant to bring into technicolour that which you desire…As soon as your thought align with your DESIRES…So
Step 3 is:
Ask yourself; Why do I desire these things? Your answer will SET YOUR ACTIONS!
“Remember Faith without Actions is Useless”
So inspired Actions must follow your thoughts, desires, plans and imagination! As you start to take CONSISTENT ACTION you will start to manifest your Desires. Your Vision Board is you “Asking in a Major way” And you are therefore placing yourself in “RECEIVING MODE.” So why not be Open to receive!
Look at your vision board every blessed day with joy and gratitude. That’s feeding your spirit with what you desire daily, remember its a clarity tool
And if you are an online entrepreneur we can tell you today the secret to Business Success…Yes there is a Secret. Its magical…Watch video below to learn what it is!
And if you have no idea where to start, you haven’t set clear goals, you are winging it…Its time to STOP NOW and consider hiring a coach or mentor. Attending our Multiple Assets – a video vault to help you learn 6-7 figure Strategies to Generate Leads and Make more sales online!
If the Fun has run out of Your Home business and you vision of seeing new shores soon is fading. You might like to check that video vault today.
Back to your vision board as a clarity tool: it’s your “Dreams in Technicolour” Your WHY in living colour and your job is to work on it. Add more stuff to it, remove stuff, cross things off as they come to life. Know that Life is permanently rigged in your favour and you must believe this to create it!
OMG you truly thought the board was meant to bring your Lotto to you, right? Not quite. Its an inanimate object…to activate it and manifest those images into your experience you MUST TAKE ACTION!
Yes ACTION is the Switch that makes it all work. Your Vision board will only work if You work. Once you ask God via your Vision Board, you gotta put the work in, do the time…Let’s look at a practical example:
Your Vision Board as a Clarity tool Example 1: You have a cut out of Beyoncé on your vision board with her face replaced by yours. You desire to look as bootilicious… But there is the small matter of a few extra pounds in all the wrong places…So you decide getting fit is a must this year! You want to lose weight so bad. You even buy an exercise bike right…! And place it I your shed/garage and as it gathers spider webs…You are losing weight fast aren’t ya…Of course not!
You gotta DESIRE to release that weight – When we lose things, we tend to look for them. So drop that lingo already – you desire to RELEASE Xkgs. Be specific. Then get on that bike and sweat it, work till your muscles ache and you cry in pain when you move. In other words MASSIVE ACTION…If you are a size 14, 60 days later you could fit in those size 10 skinnies. Other benefits; your skin looks gorgeously firm and smooth…hmm you feel lighter and sleep better…Gosh you don’t wish to be Bey anymore, you got bootay sister, you wannabe you…You manifested your Fitness Dream! #Boom
Your Vision Board as a Clarity tool Example 2: Let’s look at another example. You desire to speak at a national stage before an audience of 10K+ people and you literally have this feeling that’s where your breakthrough is! You put an image of the Liverpool Echo Arena packed to the rafters on your vision board with the dates to boot…You don’t have the bucks, or contacts but you have this dream.
Then you wait…and wait. And wait. You are freaken scared to even cut a Facebook or YouTube Video, a podcast is alien to you and Instagram reels…OMG isn’t that what they do when out on holiday? Well no, we can’t be doing only that…!
Where on God’s earth are you planning to Practice your speaking skills apart from your chats with your lil pooch? You get the gist of my message…?
Get practicing, let someone see your potential…and the Universe, your God, will let that someone looking for your skillset see that video and reach out to you…You are giving freely of your skills, experiences and God loves a cheerful giver…Multiplied, patted down shaken over and overflowing! Is the promise.
A couple of My Vision Board Manifestations: I had speaking at a charity event on my vision board last year and I had absolutely no clue how it would happen. I had set a July 2015 date… and let it go. I create videos, I podcast, I blog you name it…and post our content FREE on social media. And in June the CEO of the LMI Group in Liverpool left a comment on one of my posts. Asking me to teach her how to do what I did! We arranged a chat and she outright asked me to do a gig with them as well as coach the models and give them a confidence and motivational boost. The gig happened when?…You guessed it, in July 2015…I was like OMG this is crazy! See image of event below:
On the same board I had put meeting our Mentors in person Ray Higdon, Tanya Aliza, Cesar Rodriguez, Brian Fanale, Vince Reed etc. I had no clue how I was gonna meet them let alone in the same year. I live in UK they live in different parts of USA. Well guess what happened in March 2015? I had invested in coaching with Ray Higdon (TESS) in Jan and one of the bonuses he offered us was a FREE TICKET to his Major Annual Top Earner academy event, To be held in Tampa Florida!…Well I wasn’t sure whether I was gonna go as Paul was working away at the same time…so I held my excitement and prayed. And worked Smart and affirmed daily, gratitude is top of my agenda. Man, come August 2015 and I was in Tampa Florida and I met all the above mentioned people and then some…I was absolutely blown away! See You gotta Test…and Testify and share the manifestations…!
Lots other examples…but let’s just say that your vision board works just fine…Your mind is what’s all over the show and that’s what’s stopping whatever you desire from manifesting like magic! Don’t shoot the messenger – your dream/vision board will work if you go to work.
So let me ask you a question and please be truthful to you:
Do you believe or have Faith in what’s on your Vision board?
Do you believe that your vision board acts as a clarity tool almost like a portal?
Do you believe you deserve what you have put on that vision board?
If the answer is yes, Then Only YOU are the obstacle to your receiving, So, again don’t shoot the messenger…
All I ask you is to;
“Step up your game, Show up for duty and Manifest your Dreams!”
They are well over due! And as always I encourage you to TWEET THIS now, We appreciate you!
To The Dreamer in YOU:
Before I wrap this up, DONT kill her/him nurture and nourish that inner dreamer, give them free access to your day at least once a day with joy and gratitude. Its called PRAISE, others call it WORSHIP. If you are using your vision board as a clarity tool to see more of the world in whatever way, for instance thru Travel, you will travel. I promise you.

I used to have a vision board when I was working abroad. There was only one picture in it. A picture of a toga, diploma and robe. It made me stay focused to work hard so that I could provide for my children’s education. So far, so good. One graduated with a degree in Economics, one will graduate this year with a degree in Hotel and Restaurant Management, and another in two years time, with a degree in Computer Engineering.
Love your focus Eileen. You get to work and your Vision Board comes to life 🙂

I always had a vision board when I was young but I’ve stopped doing them…I should get back into it, they really were inspiring!
I’ve never done a vision board before, but I like writing in a journal and making lists. A vision board sounds fun.
wow awesome post and such great value on creating Your Vision Board… and congrats to you for having the opportunity to manifest some items on your VB great golden nuggets in this post Julie thanks agaib
Ok, I really do need to make one of these. I want to see it every day and be reminded of my goals!
I have been doing/using vision boards for years, more like a decade now and I know it helps. The challenge is that some people think that putting things on a board will cause them to “manifest” and that is a lie. I thought so too back in the early 2000’s when I started. After all these years of vision boarding, I have learned that at the end of the day, you really don’t need a board if your desires are inspired, imprinted on your heart, and “gazed upon” daily rather than the negativity of the world. Namaste
I think using our own vision board is a great way to clarity and create a new smart goals.
I can’t remember the last time I made a vision board. It sounds like an awesome plan! Thanks for sharing.
It IS AN AWESOME PLAN Elizabeth 🙂
J&PK~
