9 Missing Power Steps to Amazing

Vision Board Success
Secrets to manifesting wealth, happiness, love and an
awesome life.
Expect your every need to be met. Expect the answer to
every problem. Expect abundance on every level.
~Eileen Caddy
INTRODUCTION
Are you looking for a way to dramatically transform your
life or to radically speed up what youre bringing to
yourself? A way to bring wealth, happiness, love and all the
things you desire faster than you ever dreamed possible? If
the answer is a big resounding yes, then Vision Boards and
visualization could be the very tool youve been looking
for.
You might have also heard of vision boards by other
names, such as Dream Boards, Goal Boards or Story
Boards. Used correctly, as shown in this book, you can
dramatically improve not just the chances but the speed in
which you bring into your life the people, dreams or vision
you desire or want to manifest.
Vision Boards really became popular after the smash hit

movie, The Secret. The Secret is a great movie about
visualization, manifestation, and the law of attraction, and
its worth seeing if youve not already done so. Although
visualization and vision boards were around long before
this movie, they definitely became a big hit since the
movie, and it has helped them take off as a great tool to
manifesting all sorts of amazing things into your life.
Before I go into what a vision board is, let me just make a
little disclaimer for the FTC and other government
agencies. Although Ive seen some amazing things brought
into mine and other peoples lives using vision boards and
other visualization techniques, it does not mean you will
see any results, and Im definitely not claiming you will.
Basically, there are no guarantees with anything in life, and
Im certainly not claiming any here.
WHAT IS A VISION BOARD?

A vision board is a collage of pictures and words
illustrating your desires and dreams that you want to
manifest into your life and how you wish your life to look
in the future.
Its normally a white or colored poster board, or a cork
board that has various inspiring and motivating images and
words that represent your dreams and desires pinned or
glued onto it. The idea is that every time you look at the
board, you are focusing both your conscious and
subconscious mind on the things you really want to bring to
you, or how you want your life to look. This focus
dramatically increases the chances of the item materializing
into your life.
Other versions of the vision board, which I will talk about a
little later, include vision journals, vision cards and the
many types of online vision boards, from videos to slide
shows.
The power of visualization has been known and used for
hundreds if not thousands of years. People like Newton,
Edison and Einstein talked about its power to change your
world. Einstein once said, Imagination is everything. It is
the preview of life's coming attractions. Ive personally
8
used various visualization techniques long before I knew

about vision boards. These visualization techniques have
helped guide me to all sorts of amazing things that I really
wanted in my life. I still use personal visualization, but find
vision boards help tremendously when applied correctly, as
youre about to learn.
I have experienced, seen and heard of some incredible
things that have, as if by magic, materialized after the
creation of a vision board. I have personally traveled to
places I thought I would never go, had customers appear
out of thin air, increased my income by more than 10x, and
brought all sorts of wonderful things into my life. Within
this book is everything you need to ensure you can achieve
the same.
But, beware... there are also potential pitfalls with using
vision boards; things that no one else really talks about. If
done incorrectly, vision boards could possibly repel the
very things youre trying to achieve or blind you to
amazing opportunities that the universe might be waving
right in front of your very nose. You could end up with
things you just werent expecting or wanting in your life,
while losing those things you really did not want to lose.
There are many guides and videos that cover how to make
a vision board, but none that give you the potential traps,
9
the whats to avoid and the steps to designing and

creating a successful vision board: the secrets to creating a
vision board that will give you amazing results quickly in
your life, if you just take the time to apply the steps
properly.

WHO AM I?
My name is David Stanbridge. At the age
of eight years, I nearly died from 3rd
degree burns over 30% of my body. I
remember lying in the hospital bed as the
doctor told my parents that I had an 80% chance of not
making it through the night. That was a very scary moment,
but one that changed my life. I was determined that dying
was not an option and decided at that point that I was not
only going to live, I was going to live life to the fullest.
Since then, I have done just that... I'm an entrepreneur,
business & life coach, marketing consultant and a
discoverer of life's passions. I've set up and run over seven
companies, ranging from paintball sites, debt negotiation,
nutritional products, stock market training, social media
style websites, and more. Three of these companies did
multi-million dollar sales in their first three years.
I've followed my passions from spending a year in Africa,
three months in Australia, three months cruising the
Caribbean, six weeks in South Asia, and much more. I've
been through the joys of a marriage, the battle of my exwife's cancer, and the heartbreak of divorce. I've had rough
business partnership breakups and some great successes
along the way. I've experienced both the ups and downs in
11
my business and personal life. I contribute much of my

success and happiness to visualization and, as you'll
discover later, action and work.
My biggest passion is helping people change their current
conditions and future outcomes. I love seeing people
change their lives, and my most passionate goal is to help
you live a passionate, happy, awesome life; one you truly
LOVE!
Limiting Beliefs: Before I get into the details of vision
boards, I feel it's important to quickly talk about what I
believe to be the biggest destroyer of dreams and success:
Limiting Beliefs! These, more often than not, are hidden in
our subconscious thoughts and cause all sorts of havoc and
distraction in our lives. It's hard to pull into our lives
through visualization what we are subconsciously repelling
with our limiting beliefs. And, believe it or not, scientists
like Dr Bruce Lipton say the subconscious mind controls a
staggering 95% of your daily lifes thoughts and beliefs;
amazing, but true!
For example, it's hard to pull money into your life via
vision boards when your internal limiting beliefs about
money are that money is evil, or money does not grow on
trees, or there's not enough money to go around, or you
12
need money to make money; and, if you do attract money,

the chances are it's not going to stick around for very long.
I could go on about limiting beliefs, but this is not the focus
of this writing. So, if you would like more information on
limiting beliefs, visit
BreakthroughToAwesome.com/Beliefs and get your free
eBook on, "Breaking Out From Negative Limiting
Beliefs".
The Universe: I mention a lot throughout this book about
"the universe." By the universe, I mean whatever belief is
right for you; whether you believe in God, a greater or
higher power, a universal energy or any other means you
might draw strength from or feel connected to. Your
personal spiritual beliefs do not affect your ability to
manifest some amazing things into your life. You just have
to believe and be open to allowing what the universe knows
is right for you.
13
THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY

ABOUT VISION BOARDS
There is no doubt that no matter how skeptical you are
about manifesting wonderful things into your life, whether
it's by visualization techniques or vision boards, if you do it
correctly, you can achieve some amazing results. Yet
thousands of people complain all the time that they see few
to no results and sometimes even see things going
backwards in their lives.
Why would this happen if vision boards are so powerful?
Why don't you get the results you so desperately want into
your life? Well part of the problem might be a strong
negative subconscious limiting belief around the area
you're having problems with. I really recommend you take
the time to learn more about these pesky limiting beliefs.
But, let's look at a few other very important things to be
aware of before you start planning out your vision board
and the steps to your success.
14
THE 9 POWER STEPS TO MAKING VISION

BOARDS WORK FOR YOU!
Power Step 1. What do I really want in my life?
Vision boards are about getting into vibration with and
attracting to you the things you want in your life. However,
most people have a much better idea of what they dont
want in their life than what they actually do want. If you
asked an average group of people to draw two columns on
a piece of paper and write down all the things they want on
one column and what they don't want on the other, the
don't want column would probably be five times the size
of the do want column.
A vision board is about creating
a dream life that you truly
desire; one that youre
passionate about and will get
you jumping out of bed in the
morning excited about the day
ahead. It's about creating and manifesting abundance in all
sorts of ways that make you happy, excited, and in love
with yourself and your life. It's about having the people and
the love that you want in your life; the happiness,
spirituality, toys, home life, travel, career, etc. that would
really make you happy.
15
So, step one of creating a vision board is figuring out what

it is you truly want in your life. Where do you want to go,
what are your intentions in life, what makes you happy, and
what does the deeper soul part of you want? What type of
ideal relationship are you looking for?
The start, then, to any vision board is writing down all your
goals, dreams and desires on a big sheet of paper.
Brainstorm and then write down anything that comes to
your mind without any judgment or critique of your
thoughts. Don't think, "I'll never get that," at least not for
now. Just put everything that comes to mind down on that
sheet of paper.
Think BIG! You can always reduce the size of it later, but
think as big as you can for now. It's funny, but most people
have a hard time thinking out of the box and really going
for it. For example, in a recent sweepstakes, a company
offered 100 trips anywhere in the world to the winners.
Hawaii, India, England, you name itall expenses paid.
Amazingly, 90% of the people who won stayed within four
hours of their home. Break out of your comfort zone. Think
of something daring and challenging that you would love
your life to look like or to have in it.
16
Later, were going to narrow this big list down to the things
that are really important and meaningful to you, but dont
worry about that for now. This is just a dreaming exercise,
so what would you have if money was no problem, you did
not have to work, had no health issues, or whatever else
you might think is holding you back? What would you do
for fun, to keep you occupied and interested; what would
you love to create?
Two Ways of Discovering Your Vision Board Wants and
Desires.
Vision boards can dramatically change your life and create
some amazing results when made correctly. So you want to
make sure youre also putting down things that you really
do want and desire. Were going to sort through this list
youve just created in a minute and pull out the more
important points that really get you excited about your
future.
Let me give a quick warning about merely going through a
pile of magazines and cutting out images because they
appeal to you at that moment in time. Its not really going
to create the true future you are passionate about.
Magazines have some great ideas, but chances are there
will be things you really want that you just wont see in the
17
magazines and so will be totally left out of the future you

vision board. Also, a lot of the things you cut out will be
quick, spur of the moment inspirations, and not truly
meaningful things for you.
So, the first step is to get very clear on what it is you want
to have. I recommend looking at all the main areas of your
life, such as:
Relationships: Spouse, friends, work & school colleagues,
partners, and people you want to connect with, etc.
Health/Physical: How you look and feel, exercise, weight,
fitness level, etc.
Recreational: Run a marathon, travel the world, learn
kayaking, buy an RV, etc.
Professional/Financial: Type of work/career, income,
being debt free, writing a book, having money in savings,
etc.
Spiritual: Tithing, church, groups, mediation, nature,
volunteering, etc.
Home: What type, where, features, etc.
18
Get clarity about what it is you want in all areas of your

life: your purpose, spouse, job, home, relationships, the
environment you live in. Go into detail. For instance, for a
relationship, think about their character and morals, their
goals; if they are a social butterfly, shy or outgoing. Do you
want children, and if so how many.
Some people find it helpful to journal and may want to do
so for a few days before they start. Others meditate on what
to manifest into their lives for a while and ask to be shown
what it is they truly desire. If these things are not for you, at
least sit down with a note pad for several hours and put
some serious thought into it. After you've made your initial
list, I would suggest sleeping on it and letting your
subconscious mind mull it over for the night. Then come
back the next day and spend a few more hours or so on it.
Yes, it's worth it!
Think deep into the inner you. The more effort you put into
this, the quicker and more amazing the results will be.
Definitely put down all the things you've been dreaming
about for a while, as you're already moving into the same
vibration with these things.
19
TIP: Play some relaxing, calming, spiritual or meditative

music while you think and write, as it will help you connect
to the inner you and your subconscious mind easier.
Another system that might help you is the BE DO
HAVE system.
Be - Do - Have: Most people just jump straight into "what
do I want to have" on their vision boards. But to have
something, you first have to Be the person that is going to
Have that thing, and Do the things that are going to make it
happen. This might be a novel idea to many people, but
most have it completely reversed. Theyre trying to Have
more money so they can Do fun things in their life and Be
more relaxed. Unfortunately, it does not really work like
this.
State of mind
Values & beliefs
Do
Decisions Made
Actions Taken
Be
The Results
you want
Have
You must Be the person that can Do the things needed to

Have the result.
20
Be is more of a state of mind; such as being happy,

passionate, honest, trustworthy, loyal, committed,
engaging, creative, loving, hardworking, dedicated.
Do is what you actually need to get done or things you need
to do; such as talk in front of groups, make connections,
write a book.
Have is the result of the above Be and Do; such as money
in the bank, more time, nice home, great relationships.
For example, to have and keep a great relationship you
must first
Be: loving, caring, honest, loyal, giving, passionate, fun,
supportive.
Then...
Do: Pay attention, help out, say and do loving things, show
you care, be fun, remember birthdays and special
events/dates.
The result is: You Have a fun, loving and fulfilling
relationship.
Now lets give this a try to start with, get three blank
pieces of paper and write Be on one, Do on another, and
21
Have on the 3rd. Then, on each piece of paper, make a list

of things as they come to you. They don't need to be in any
order, so just write down what you think as the idea comes
up. You might think, for example, "I want an awesome job
as an international travel guide." Then fill in the other two
sections such as Be - love traveling, adventures, Do search out job, etc.
Tip: Don't be wishy-washy and unclear about your wants
here. For example, I want a great job or a nice car. Be as
precise and accurate as you can be. Instead write, I want
the executive position at such and such company or I
want a white convertible Mercedes Benz.
22
Power Step 2. Hold On... This sounds a lot like work!

The biggest problem with the movie
"The Secret" is that it was all about
thinking of something you wanted in
your life and then simply sitting
around and visualizing it into your
life. It made people believe that if
they just thought hard enough about a new car for long
enough, then hey presto there it was in their driveway
one morning. They never even had to get out of bed or lift a
finger to get it.
It does not mention anything about getting off your butt and
actually doing the things needed to make it happen. And,
these actions don't even have to be that hard. It might be as
simple as entering a competition for your new dream car,
but you have to do something! I can assure you that lying in
bed and eating Twinkies all day, no matter how hard you
visualize about being thin and healthy, is not going to work.
Theres a good joke about a guy who every night kneeled
and prayed to God to let him win the lottery. But even after
many years, he never won. Not even a penny! At last, God
spoke to him and said Please, at least go and buy a ticket!
23
If the love of your life, your soul mate, was in your life
right now, what would that mean to you? What if your
biggest hero had just invited you to their private island for a
week? How much time and effort would you put in if you
knew for certain this was going to happen?
Unfortunately, many people go through life wanting to see
a return on their investment before they put in their money.
They want to get paid before they put forth the effort. Or
worse, they have the righteous feeling they are owed
something without having to do anything in return. It's a bit
like sitting down at a fire and saying, Give me some heat
and then I'll put on some wood and light you. It's going to
be a cold night!
Would it be worth a day or two's work to get the results you
want? Let me just say its well worth the time and sweat
equity you put into your future happiness. What else are
you going to do anyway, watch Survivor again?
24
Power Step 3. Its Not all about the Toys!

Quite often, the first thing people
think about when creating a vision
board is the flashy sports car, the
mansion on the beach, their personal
Learjet, the super sexy spouse, and so on. I totally agree
there is nothing wrong in having these things in your life;
it's certainly nice. And I hate to rain on your parade, but it's
not whats going to make you happy at the end of the day.
I just heard this great story by Jack Canfield talking about a
good friend of his that constantly upgraded all his toys and
yet he was never happy. He eventually bought the Seattle
Seahawks football team thinking, this MUST make me
happy, right? Wrong! It just gave him more grief.
Eventually a friend asked him to go to Central Europe with
him to help give out wheelchairs to children that needed
them. That experience changed his life, and he started a
wheelchair foundation giving out thousands of wheelchairs
around the world. And, guess what? He's finally happy!
Don't get me wrong. I don't mean you have to go and start
an international charity, unless thats something you want
to do. I certainly have toys on my vision board, but I have
also put a lot more non-material things on it as well, such
25
as how I want to feel: to have love and happiness in my life

as well as spirituality and experiences I want to have.
Again, dig deep! What is it that will truly make you happy?
You can manifest anything you want, so why just make it a
car that's going to eat up gas, cost loads to repair, and have
expensive insurance?
Think about what truly makes you happy, what would
make you excited when you wake up in the morning or
keep you awake at night because you cannot wait for the
morning? What affect do you want to have in this world or
be known by people for achieving or doing? Imagine being
the next Oprah, Tony Robbins or Richard Branson, if thats
something that excites you.
What value do you put in growing yourself spiritually and
mentally? Do you want to get a doctorate or become an
expert in Yoga or meditation? Start a thriving business or
charity? Be madly in love with your dream partner or living
in some exotic location? All of these could bring more
happiness at the end of the day than a new flashy boat.
Quick Tip: Instead of setting a goal, change it to an
experience you want to have. You don't want a goal of
losing 20 pounds; instead, you want to experience feeling
26
fit, 20 pounds lighter and fitting back into those clothes you
love. You don't want to stop smoking; instead, you want to
actually experience tasting your food and drink and being
able to smell the roses again.
27
Power Step 4. Leaving Space for the Universe.

Okay, you've dug deep and really
thought about what you want in life, and
youve written it all down in detail. But
the big question now is, do you know
what the universe has planned for you or where it wants
you to go next?
Believe me; the universe wants you to have an abundance
of happiness, love, wealth, health and all the good things in
life. But, the universe is not necessarily going to give it to
you the way you think "you" should get it. The universe
works in mysterious and wonderful ways, and will often
find unique and unexpected gifts for your life that you may
never have even dreamed of.
Vision boards are a great guide post to what you want in
life, but can be very restrictive. Often, they focus your
attention and intention on a very limited number of ideas,
beliefs, and possibilities that you think might be right for
you. Yes, they are ideas based on what you believe you
want to come into your life. You even sat down and
meditated and/or did some journaling about it for a couple
of days. But, could there be other options, possibilities or
28
outcomes that would make you much happier than what

"you" believe you want to manifest?
Here's a great little experiment that only takes 15 seconds,
so give it a try! Look around you for 10 seconds and spot
everything that is red. Actually do this right now. Spot
everything that is red. Have you done that?
Greatnow close your eyes and, without looking, try to
remember everything that is blue.
I bet you found it hard to remember even a couple of
things. You wanted red and focused on red, so all the blue
things disappeared. And yet, the universe might really want
you to have blue in your life. Believe me; the universe
knows what will make you happy better than anybody else
does, including you.
I know several people who had their ideal partner on a
vision board, and yet married somebody completely
different and have been very happy for years. This
happened to me. The person I met and married was nothing
like the person I had visualized. I was however open to
accepting what the universe brought to me, despite the
vision of who I believed I wanted in my life.
29
And, I don't think I would have met her if I hadnt been

visualizing, but also keeping an open mind. The same thing
has happened on trips I wanted to take, the timing of when
I wanted things to happen, and even a business I was going
to start. You need to keep an open mind as to what the
universe is going to give you.
An example of being too attached to a specific outcome
might be that you've set the goal of losing 20 pounds.
While waiting around for the fat to just drop of your body,
you never notice the six months of personal fitness and diet
training you just won fall into your lap! Or you're looking
for a tall beautiful soul mate and don't even notice that
great person at work, who may be slightly overweight, but
madly in love with you and would make you extremely
happy.
It might sound a bit contradictory, but try and focus on
what you want to manifest in as much detail as you can,
while but also remembering that the universe has a much
clearer understanding of what is right for you and what will
make you happy. You just need to trust in it.
If you stay fixed on insisting you get what you have written
or placed on your vision board, you might be reducing the
chances of both what the universe wants for you to
30
manifest, as well as what you believe you actually want

arriving at your door.
But you also might get exactly what you asked for, so be
precise.
31
Power Step 5. Yeah Right! As if That's Really Going to

Happen.
So, you have on your vision board a brand
new Aston Martin Vanquish worth a cool
$270,000. Pretty sweet! Now here's the
problem. The best car youve ever owned is
a 1994 ford worth a whopping $1,200. Or you're a 74-yearold guy looking to date a 21-year-old super model, and you
only have a massive $500 in the bank.
Now, I'm never going to diminish somebody else's dream,
and like I said, the universe works in mysterious ways.
Could you have an Aston Martin Vanquish on your vision
board, and then win a competition for that very car the next
week? ABSOLUTELY! It happens.
`
But, here's the tricky part. Do you honestly see yourself
with the items you've listed on your vision board in your
life?
If you have things on your board that every time you look
at them you think, "Yeah, that's never going to happen or a
little doubt starts creeping in instead of a positive physical
and emotional response? You might want to rethink your
vision a little!
32
This is very important so please pay attention

When you get any sort of yeah right reaction, you're
actually telling your subconscious mind and the universe
the very opposite message of what youre trying to achieve.
That you really don't want that thing in your life Ill
never have a car like ______.
Remember, you get what you focus on and at this point,
youre focusing on not having the person, item or dream in
your life.. You look at the vision board and at some level of
consciousness say, "It's never going to happen!"
Your subconscious and the universe happily oblige and
give you what you focused on not getting the very thing
you want. Even though that wasn't your intention at all.
The trouble is, you also might even repel something you
already have or really want from your life. This applies the
same way whether it is a job, money, relationship, health,
or any other area of your life. You need to be able to look
at the items on your board and get a strong visceral and
emotional belief that you want and can have that in your
life.
33
Nearly everything Ive ever read invariably says to just

ignore those nagging doubts and just push forward. The
idea is that at some point in the future youll talk yourself
into believing them. Well, until you build up your personal
self-belief and image, that might never happen. And in the
meantime, youre actually creating more harm than good.
A simple way of handling the feeling of "yeah right" or any
other negative response, is to reduce the item youre
thinking about to something that is still a stretch, but is
believable to you. Remember, the vision board is ongoing
and ever changing. Once the item(s) you've listed have
materialized or your personal belief in yourself has
increased, simply increase your target(s).
For example, if you are making $20K per year right now,
you might think it's impossible to have a goal of $1M a
year. But if you can see yourself making $100K a year,
then start there. As you see yourself getting closer to that
goal, stretch it out further; say maybe $500K, and so on.
Eventually you will see yourself making $1M a year and
more.

something in your life causing you trouble? Check out our

Power Step 6. Are You Emotionally Connected?

This, again, is something that is critical
to the success of your vision board, and
yet most people never talk about. It
applies not only to your vision board, but
also to planning experiences (previously known as setting
goals) to accomplish or simply visualize something into
your life.
You must be able to emotionally feel and get excited about
having what you desire in your life. You should actually
get a physically emotional response when you think about
having that awesome body youre about to get. You should
FEEL happy, excited, loved, energized, charged, and
passionate with a deep desire to really want whatever it is
you have placed on your vision board.
The bigger emotional response you feel to the item, the
more likely and quicker the chances of it appearing in your
life. You might even pay attention to where in your body
you are having this response. If your gut is churning with
pain or anxiety or you cant breathe, well, it may just not be
a good focus for you at this time. But if you feel a nice
warm glow all over your body, a smile in your eyes,
36
butterflies in your belly, and your heart feels warm and

open; then its the right focus.
There is no faking this! This has to be a true feeling of
emotion, not a let me fake it till I get that car. A good
way to do this is not to just think about having the car
sitting in your driveway, but actually visualize the
experience of driving it down the freeway. Feel and smell
the leather seats, feel the tension in the steering wheel as
you take that sharp bend, and then feel the rush of the wind
through your hair with all the windows down. Make it as
real as possible.
Now, I'm not talking about being emotionally attached to
the item. Instead, its an emotional response or reaction to
having it in your life when you look at your vision board.
Attachment is basically a craving to have that item in your
life or an unwillingness to let it go. The feeling of
emotional attachment is very different and can be damaging
to your emotional and/or financial health.
Important: When experiencing the item you want, it's very
important to do it in current time, as if it's happening right
now. You're lying on that beach right now, drinking the
Mai Tai and feeling the sun on your skin while listening to
the soft tropical music.
37
Knowing your vision board is working for you and

attracting into your life the things you asked for should
create a desire to jump out of bed in the morning ready for
the day, excited about what might manifest itself that day.
38
Power Step 7. Making It Happen With Action!

I know, I've already talked about this in
Power Step 2, but it's so important I'm
saying it again. You have to get off your
butt and do something! If you have the
vision of meeting new friends on your vision board, but
never leave the house or try connecting with people in
some way, it's unlikely to happen.
If your desired experience is to get that job as a CEO of a
Fortune 500 Company, but you don't get the education,
apply for the position and/or talk to the people you need to
get the position, the chances are slim that youre getting
that job.
Tip: One excellent activity is to write down the necessary
steps to accomplish the experience you're after. If your
desired experience is to find the love of your life, you
might write a list like: 1. Describe my perfect partner in
detail. 2. Join a dating site. 3. Start hanging out where
he/she might hang out. 4. Get active with groups that do the
activities I enjoy. 4. Join various www.meetup.com groups.
5. Ask friends if they know anybody. 6. Talk to the people
I'm attracted to. 7. Learn to relax, listen and be fun. Write
these down as a list of actions to take and pin these onto or
next to your vision board. Then of course, do the actions!
39
Try to do at least one thing every day that moves you

towards your end result.
Yes, I know, more work! What can I say? :)
By the way, you just might find that after all the work of
going through the steps, you bump into your ideal partner
at the local super market or by some strange sequence of
events you never even dreamed of. However, if you don't
do something, you dramatically reduce the chances of it
happening. I talk about this more in the next secret.
By the way, taking action does not mean you have to work
like a slave 80 hours a week. And it certainly does not
mean being busy for the sake of being busy. It simply
means taking steady steps towards the goals or experiences
you wish to have in your life. Staying focused and keeping
an open mind and an open eye to magic happening around
you. But do be willing to take chances: try things you've
never done before and be willing to fail a few times.
Remember, the only people that really fail are those that
never even try. Also, you can certainly start small. If your
goal is to run a marathon, start by taking a 20-minute walk,
and then adding a run every 1-2 minutes, alternating and
increasing until you are running the entire length in
preparation for that marathon.
40
Power Step 8. Leave it to the Universe.

Okay, I'm about to contradict what I
just said in Power Step 7. There
seems to be a lot of this going
around. The universe works in
strange, but loving ways. You need
to take action, but you also need to trust and leave it up to
the universe to manifest what you're looking for in the way
it feels best.
Believe me; you could never even come close to the
billions of magical ways and ideas the universe can conjure
up to bring something into your life, ways that you could
never even dream of. I have seen and heard about some of
the most amazing and extraordinary ways things have
appeared in peoples lives.
This is also very different from Power Step 4, where we
talk about holding onto a particular or specific thing or
person you want to manifest into your life. What we're
talking about here is limiting your mind to just one way of
receiving what you're looking for. This could result in you
missing the very thing you want to manifest by expecting it
to show up in a certain way, while it arrives from a totally
different direction or resource!
41
This can become fun, when something shows up in a very

different form and way that you totally were not expecting.
For example, you might want a dream vacation that is
going to cost $5,000 and out of the blue you get a tax
refund for $5,000. Then TravelZoo.com sends out an
amazing deal offering a $12,000 trip for just $5,000 to that
dream location. It might be an idea to just go ahead and
book that vacation.
Again, keep an open mind and an open eye for magic
happening around you. You'll be surprised how often it
happens if you are willing to look.
A personal experience: I've been fortunate to have gotten
involved in business through some very odd turns of
events. Ive met people out of the blue when it was the last
thing I was expecting and had money come from the most
obscure situations. For instance, money might appear not
only as cash in hand, but as a reduction in a bill, a refund
that you werent expecting, an inheritance from somebody
you never knew or maybe an opportunity to increase your
income. You have to believe that the universe will deliver!
So, go ahead and develop those steps towards your desired
experiences, just stay open to receiving them in any form
that comes your way.
42
An example: I've heard stories about people wanting to

travel overseas to a certain country, only for the company
they're working for to open up a new office in that location
and then ask them to relocate. Ive known people wanting
to live in a certain type of home with no way of paying for
it, only to have the owner of that very home ask them to
house sit for a year or two, and on and on. Just keep an
open mind and let the universe do its thing; trust that it will
happen!
43
Power Step 9. Conflicting Or Negative Goals Can Bite!

These can cause you real problems if
you're not careful. If you want something
bad to happen to somebody and focus on
this, be very aware, it's probably going to
come back and bite you hard.
The universe is about creating love and happiness, not
about creating problems for people. If you are wishing
something bad to happen, your subconscious mind does not
know you mean it for somebody else, it just knows that's
what you want and you'll probably end up with it. OUCH!
The same goes with constant negative thoughts. Your
subconscious only sees the thoughts and does not
differentiate between negative and positive, good or bad,
and thinks this is what you want in your life. That's why
forgiving someone is so powerful; you stop the negative
thoughts and allow your thoughts to flow towards more
positive areas!
The same applies to conflicting goals. For instance, if
you're married, don't think about getting a little romance on
the side. These things rarely work out. If you're in an
unhappy marriage, make fixing that a priority on your
44
vision board. Then go through the Be-Do-Have steps above

and pin them next to the board or somewhere you can see
and follow them.
Organizing Your List of Dreams and Desires.
Okay now for some important stuff. After going through
all the 9 Power Steps above, you should have a pretty good
idea of what is going to be on your final list of dreams and
desires to put onto your vision board. But lets just cover
what the final list should be and how you came to that list.
1. You started with a list of every possible thing you
wanted in your life: the things you want to do, the people
you want to have in your life and be associated with, the
places you want to go, and the things you want to have.
This should have been a list regardless of limitations,
conditions or your ability to achieve or have these things in
your life right now.
2. You made sure that there are a lot of personal goals
that are meaningful for you, and the list was not all about
toys. Toys are great and can be a lot of fun, but there is a
lot more to happiness than having the latest Bentley Turbo.
3. You took this list and brought all the Yeah Right
items down to a believable and yet challenging level.
Something that is a real challenge for you to achieve, but
believable. By the way, you might have a goal of winning a
45
dream vacation that is in no way possible for you right

now, but you just have total belief that it is going to
happen this is fine. Keep it. As long as you believe it,
keep it.
4. You made sure that there is some type of positive
emotional reaction to the items on the list; some sort of
desire to really have these things in your life that gives you
a warm fuzzy feeling when you think about it.
5. There are no negative or conflicting items or ones that
contradict other current projects in your life that you dont
want to lose. You dont have items on your list that would
create a negative effect in someone elses life.
6. Youre open to having the universe deliver these
dreams and desires in whatever way the universe sees is
best for you and from whatever direction it may come.
Now, go through this list and number all of the items on a
scale from 1 to 10, with 10 being an absolute must for your
life that you cannot live without, and 1 being something
you can definitely live without. Base this as well on your
emotional reaction when you think about the item. The
stronger the positive feeling, the higher you should
probably rank it.
Its up to you what number you want to pick, but it should
probably be 5 or higher, and then make a list of all these
46
items. These are the things that you want to put on your
vision board, with the purpose of them coming to you or
remaining in your life.
Why 5 or higher? This is not to diminish the importance of
the lower numbered items but they obviously are not as
important in your life right now as the 5's and above. You
want things that you're passionate about having in your life
now, so when you look at the board you can see and want
that in your life. A number 2 item probably does not have
any urgency to it and probably not the same excitement and
passion as a number 9 item. It also certainly can be added
later if it becomes more important down the road.
Now, lets move on to actually creating your vision board.
47
CREATING YOUR VISION BOARD.

Yayyou've put in the time and effort and really thought
about what you want to manifest into your life.
Congratulations, you're now already way ahead of about
95% of the people in this world. What you've done so far
will give you a lot of clarity on where your life is heading,
what you want to achieve, and hopefully some steps to
make it happen. This alone will help you dramatically
move forward in life. But now, lets create your vision
board.
Use one or a combination of the following methods to
design and build your vision board.
Let's Start With Getting The Pictures...
48
Pictures, Drawings, and Images You Personally Took,

Drew or Painted.
Do you have pictures you've taken that inspire or motivate
you? Pictures of a house, car, wedding, relationship,
vacation, etc.? Look through some of your personal
pictures or images, and see if anything applies. You might
also have books with drawings or art you made that you
might be able to use. These items will have a lot more
meaning to you if theyre pictures you've taken yourself or
ones you've drawn. If you can use these, start here.
If you want to keep the picture or drawing, or are worried
about losing or damaging it, then scan and print it out.
Also, if you have any special quotes or sayings you love,
start making a collection of them now.
49
Collecting Pictures and Images from Magazines.

1. Find as many magazines as
you can from various sources.
You might already have a
collection that you've put
aside, but if not, a good place
to look is public libraries, which often have a stack that you
might be able to take home. Ask friends for their old copies
of magazines. Look in dental or medical offices, and beauty
places such as salons or spas. YMCA and sport centers all
quite often have old magazines lying around which they
may not mind you taking. The last alternative, of course, is
buying a few that inspire you or focus on the areas of your
life you are focusing on for your vision board.
2. You want to get a good selection of different styles and
types of magazines. A few of the magazines I might
suggest are style magazines like Cosmopolitan, O, and
Vogue. Or home magazines like Sunset or Real Simple.
Maybe get some money magazines such as Fast Company
or Fortune. And, dont forget about health and yoga
magazines, travel magazines, sports magazines, marriage
magazines, etc.
50
3. Now, get to cutting. Put on some fun music and go

through the magazines, clipping out everything that looks
like it was on your list, looks & feels good, or just simply
appeals to you. Don't worry about what it is for now, just
cut out everything you like the look of. Be sure to include
images, pictures of people, logos, words and sayings that
inspire you. Have fun with the process and find lots of great
pictures, symbols and words. Be creative and possibly even
use special scissors that cut out the pictures with a designed
look. You should end up with a huge stack of images and
words to sort through later.
4. Now, look through the images and separate them into
two piles; the ones you like and feel connected to, and the
ones you're not sure about. Use your intuition, and pick
what feels right to you, whats exciting, what stimulates
you or appeals to you somehow. Trust yourself, and if it
does not feel right, put it in the not sure pile. While you're
going through this process, feel free to think back or look
through the lists you created of things you want to manifest
in your life.
*Jump to step 8 below if you're not looking for online
images.
51
Collecting Pictures and Images from the Internet.

Tip: Before you start collecting images
online, one of the basic tools you're
going to need is a color printer. Black
and white will work, but I don't
recommend it. If you don't own or have
access to a color printer, I would not recommend using
online images. You're also going to use quite a bit of ink,
so beware of the costs.
5. There are many sites on the web nowadays that have
more pictures of every possible idea than you could ever
need or imagine. I'll go through several of these sites in a
minute. There are also many tools to help you capture and
personalize your images, making it easy to add icons,
badges, words or sentences. You're also able to manipulate
the pictures however you see fit, whether they are pictures
found on the internet or your personal photos.
Here are 3 great tools I like to use:
Snagit: This is an awesome tool for capturing and playing
with the images. You can very easily capture an image and
then place wording on it and crop it to how you like,
including adding fancy borders and edging, etc. It's also
52
great for overlaying images on top of each other (great for

putting your head on top of a body you would love to have
or shaking hands with a person you would like to meet),
and many more awesome things. It costs $49.95 at the time
of writing, but does have a free months trial.
Jing: This is a similar type of product to Snagit, and from
the same company, but nowhere near as versatile. I've not
really used Jing much, so I cannot say too much about it,
but it should give you the ability to do what you're looking
for and it's free.
Picmonkey.com: I really love this site. It's an online
picture editor that allows you to drop an image into it and
do some simply amazing things. It's all done online, so
there is no software to download, and the best part... it's
free! There are a wide range of special effects you can add
such as borders, shades, exposures, fonts, effects, touchups
and much more. You'll love it!
Tip: Don't feel like you have to define in depth each picture
or write on it exactly what you're looking for. Believe me;
the universe knows what you want. I might write something
like, "I love this experience," but don't go too in-depth in
writing on the image.
53
These 3 tools alone should give you a great head start on

collecting and creating some awesome images for your
vision board.
Great sites to find images.
Google Images: An amazing collection of
practically everything you could want, picturewise. Just type in what you're looking for, and see what
comes up. Youll find pages and pages of pictures, images,
logos, wording and much more.
Pinterest: I love this site. People create picture
boards of various subjects, and there are some
amazing pictures you can find. Some people
literally have thousands of pictures on their pages. Do a
search, for instance, on awesome houses and you'll be
amazed of what comes up. This is also a great place to find
motivational or inspiring quotes and pictures. You never
know what you're going to find, so give it a try.
Shuttersstock.com, istockphoto.com, sxc.hu and other
royalty-free image sites: With most of these image sites,
you'll have to pay to get the images. There are sites like
sxc.hu, where I believe it is free to download and use their
images, but check before you do. However, there is an
54
awesome selection of high-quality professional images for

nearly everything you could want.
Magazine sites: Nearly every magazine has an online
presence today. Pull up your favorite magazine and just
start clicking through their site.
Facebook.com: Yep, what website list would
be complete without mentioning good old
Facebook? Most magazines also have Facebook
pages, which are full of images where you can find some
amazing things. Look for inspirational pictures, sayings and
quotes perfect for you.
On a side note... if you're looking for some awesome daily
motivational and inspirational quotes and sayings, check
out our Facebook page at
www.facebook.com/breakthroughtoawesome. Just click the
like on our page to get your daily fix of great advice,
motivation, and inspirational postings.
6. Now, once you've found all the images you're looking
for, edited them to your satisfaction, and saved them onto
your computer, it's time to print them out. To start with,
sort out any images you just don't like or don't have some
sort of emotional connection to. Put all the images you feel
55
you want to use into a separate folder on your computer.

Then, simply copy them over onto a word document,
putting as many images as you can fit on a page, and print
them out.
Tip: I recommend using gloss paper, because it's heavier
and looks so much better than standard paper. It does cost a
little more, but its worth the extra expense.
7. Go through the images and just clip out everything that
you've printed out. You should have already sorted them
into the images you want to use before you print them, so
you are not wasting valuable resources, and rather only
printing a big stack of images and words you will want to
use on the next step.
56
Lay Out the Images

8. Lay out all the pictures you feel connected to on your
poster or cork board. There really is no right way to do this,
and I've seen many variations. I personally like to put the
pictures into groups, so that when I look at the board, it's
easy see the various sections, such as a group of business
pictures, social pictures, people I want to connect to, things
I want, health, spiritual, etc. This works for me, but might
not be right for you.
Other people lay out their boards randomly, by scattering
the pictures in a way that feels good to them. This is also
fine, as the subconscious looks at the board as a whole. The
subconscious and the universe will know what you want
and will start manifesting these into your life.
Some try to create a story out of their boards, placing their
pictures in some type of order flowing towards an overall
idea or theme. Again, it doesnt matter. Any way that
works for you is fine. Just lay the images and words out
onto the board so you feel connected to it.
An additional idea I recommend and do myself is to include
a picture or two of yourself in the center of the board. I
have two pictures of myself on my current board; one of
57
me meditating on the bow of a small boat sailing up a river

in Cambodia and one of me riding an elephant in Thailand.
Both portray more things I would love to keep or bring into
my life: peace, tranquility, travel, fun, excitement, and
happiness. I think you get the picture
Quick Tip. Changes happen! Life goes through various
phases, both good and bad. Things simply don't stay the
same. You will have times when things are going
amazingly well and other times when things, well, basically
suck! Visualization and vision boarding can help you get
through these times quicker, but this is a part of life. I've
had quite a few bad times in my life, such as a divorce and
the collapse of businesses. But, things change and do get
better. They always do. And, the good part is... when they
do, they tend to be better than before.
Therefore, I keep important things on my board that I
currently have the things I want to keep in my life. These
things used to be toys, but now they have more to do with
happiness, love, excitement, fun and so on. And, sometimes
its a nice new toy that brings some new excitement and
fun.
9. Now its time to pin or glue the pictures down. Again, it
does not really matter in what way you lay out the
58
board...whatever works for you is right! Obviously, though,

if you're using a cork board, you probably don't want to
glue the images down. I like to use a cork board and pins as
I can easily remove an image if after a few days it does not
appeal to me, or I can add images later and easily move
things around.
Many people prefer gluing the items to their vision board.
This way they dont need to worry about pins falling out.
You can move the board to anywhere you want, and you
wont need to worry about stepping on those pesky pins.
Also, if you have kids, glue might be a better way to go.
Do what you feel is right and what works for you. You can
use paste or even rubber cement to secure down the
pictures. Glue sticks are okay, but can tend to lose their
stickiness after a couple of months. Also, photo tabs or
some type of double-sided tape can work well and might be
worth looking at.
Again, there really is no right or wrong way: just lay it all
out, and pin or glue down the pictures until youre happy
about your creation.
59
Congratulations, you should now

have a vision board that is going to
help you manifest some magical and
amazing things into your life.
If you can, put the vision board in a place that you can see
it daily. This can be in your office, above your computer,
on the inside of your closet door, in your living room or
bedroom, or just someplace where you can see it and let it
remind you of what you are focusing on manifesting into
your life.
If possible, look at it first thing in the morning, and let it be
the last thing you look at before you go to bed. I take a
picture of mine and sometimes pull it up during the day to
remind me of what I'm trying to achieve and attract into my
life.
Tip: If you have a smart phone, take a picture of your new
board and set an alarm to go off during the day to remind
you to look at your vision board.

THE NEXT STEP TO FASTER SUCCESS

Big Bonus Power Step #1 ACCOMPLISHMENT BOARDS
This is something that, up to the point of this writing, I've

not heard anybody else really talk about. It's a great way of
increasing your self-esteem, boosting your confidence, and
overcoming the disbelief factor of your ability to achieve
the experiences and goals on your vision board.
The idea is to create an accomplishment board of all the
awesome things you have done, have achieved, are proud
of, and have accomplished so far in your life. These are
basically things youve done in the past that youre really
proud of, awards youve won, feats youve accomplished,
or times where you amazed yourself by achieving despite
thinking it wasnt possible. And, yes everybody has many
of these, regardless of where they are now in their life.
I'm not going to get into too many of mine, but for
example, on my accomplishment board, I have the fact that
I won a diving competition very unexpectedly when I was
only 10 years old. I was written up as one of the 10 best
paintball players in the world, ran multiple businesses, and
61
spent a year traveling Africa and on and on. Looking at

this board gives me a much higher belief in myself.
If you're sitting there thinking, "I've not really done
anything," you need to look deeper. It can be as simple as
somebody saying you did really well at something, or
getting some type of award or recognition at school. Do
you have great friends? Put that down as an
accomplishment. Do you like your job or have you ever
received any recognition for your work? Have you lost a
certain amount of weight or met somebody you really
admired? These are all accomplishments.
And no, this is not about being arrogant, big headed or
showing off. It's not designed for you to run around
showing other people how great you are. You've achieved
some amazing things and this board is just to help remind
you of that fact. Youre an amazing person and if you can
achieve these things, you can achieve much more.
Now for a quick warning. If you have a negative
perspective or outlook on your life, please don't look at this
board and think to yourself, "Is that all I've accomplished?"
or "Everybody else has done so much more than me." You
are AWESOME for who you are today and who you're
going to become tomorrow. And, if you put in the effort
62
and follow these steps Ive outlined, you should see

dramatic changes in your life...regardless of how successful
you've been up until today. Admire who you are today and
set bigger and better targets for tomorrow.
To create an accomplishment board, start by making a list
of all the things in your life that you can think of that
youre proud of. If you cant remember, ask someone else
to help you. Now, simply go through the same process as
the vision board, but with those things youre proud of
about yourself.
63
Big Bonus Power Step #2 - GRATITUDE

BOARDS
I personally believe that both the act of gratitude and

thinking about what youre grateful for are very important.
I love waking up every morning and thinking of at least 10
things I'm grateful for. If possible, try and come up with at
least 10 different things every day.
Why is being grateful so powerful? Its showing your
subconscious mind that you want these things in your life.
When you first start this, you might have a problem coming
up with what to be grateful for. Simply waking up is a good
one to start with; seeing your room, breathing the air
around you, hearing your kids playing, thinking of the
breakfast you're about to eat, appreciating the job you have,
being able to get dressed in good clothes, putting on shoes,
and on and on. You get the idea.
One trick is to be grateful for things that are going to come
into your life in the future as if you have them now. Im
often grateful for my great health, for living in an awesome
world, for having incredible friends, for having a life I love,
for having awesome parents, and so on.
64
Tip: If you dislike your work environment or the people

working there simply stop paying attention to all the things
that annoy or upset you. And yes, if you dislike your work
place, this is more than likely what you're doing. Start
looking for things that you're grateful for, the things you
like in the environment and your work mates. Sue brought
in lunch; Fred said you looked happy; somebody cleaned
up the kitchen area without being asked. Look for
something magical to happen every day. You might be
amazed how quickly your work environment and those who
work there change. Orwas it you that changed your
perception of the work and people you work with?
So these are the types of things you can have on your
gratitude board. And unlike your vision and
accomplishment boards, which you should only change
when a new situation appears, you can keep changing your
gratitude board. Have a series of things that you rotate
through or think of that youre grateful for.
65
VISION CARDS
Vision cards are
smaller pieces of cards,
such as index cards or
post cards that you post
individual images and
messages on. You can
also write some sort of
message, intention, poem or prayer on the back or front of
the card to personalize it and make it more meaningful for
you. Pick different areas of your life you want to improve
on, the same as on the vision board, but you're only looking
to put an individual or similar picture on each card.
Once you've put them together, written your message,
intention, poem or prayer on the card getting them
laminated is a good idea. The FedEx office can do this
inexpensively, and it's well worth it. You can then carry the
cards around with you, and they will last much longer.
You'll be able to look back at the cards in the years to come
and see the amazing things that came true and how your
life has transformed.
Pick out a card or two every day and visualize it in your life
right now. Similar to vision boards, think of being actively
66
engaged in whatever it might be as if you have it in your

life today. If it's your dream house, imagine walking around
it, touching the walls, taking a shower, looking out the
window at the amazing view, swimming in the pool, and so
on.

VISION JOURNALS
A vision Journal is
a journal-style
book or drawing
pad that you can
create and, if you
want, add to as
you think of more things. Start it the same way as a vision
board, but get some type of hard- or soft-back book or
drawing pad that you want to use. Spiral bound books tend
to work well, as it's easy to rip out pages later if you want.
As you're creating the journal, you can also add notes,
poems, prayers or other things that will keep you focused
on manifesting your dreams and creating your ideal life. As
you keep expanding the book, you can make notes of how
things are changing for you and what magic is happening
around you as you continue on this journey.
Being able to look back and see notes of things that have
magically happened can keep you pushing for more and
growing your belief in this process, and in you.

ONLINE AND DIGITAL VISION BOARDS

There are many programs you can buy to help you create a
digital vision board and allow you to watch it on your
computer or upload it to YouTube or another video media
service. One great thing about digital vision boards is that
you can add inspiring music to them to play along with the
images as well as type in inspiring quotes or sayings over
the pictures.
Creating a digital vision board gives you the easy ability to
simply watch a quick three-minute or whatever-length-youchoose movie in the morning and evening. And, if you put
it on YouTube, you can watch it throughout the day if you
have an internet connection.
However, there is a drawback with digital vision boards.
Unless you're using programs like PowerPoint that you
may or may not have on your computer, you may have to
buy the software. This can cost $99 or more, and then you
need to learn a whole new program and process of putting
it together. If you're not technically minded or dont want
to put in the extra dollars, start with a regular vision
board...you'll find it much quicker and affordable to start
with.

Q & A - COMMON QUESTIONS AND MYTHS

ABOUT VISION BOARDS.
Question: Do I need to change my life before I start?
The simple answer is no... Just get started. You definitely
don't need to become an expert in meditation or live at the
top of a mountain for a year in robes or become some
mystical yogi. You are in the perfect place and perfect time
right now in your life to start making changes. Everything
is as it should be right now given your mindset. But you
have to get started. You have to take that first step, or
nothing will happen or change in your life.
Question: Should I set a timeframe to manifest whats on
my vision board, journal, or cards?
Yes, its a good idea to set a timeframe, but dont get too
attached to the timing, because the universe has its own
time table as to when its the right time for you to receive.
Put down a timeframe in which you would like to receive
what youre looking to manifest, but dont set everything
for tomorrow because that most likely wont happen.
Question: Can I use a vision board to change somebody
else?
The simple answer to that is, NO. Your vision board is
about changing your life, not somebody else's. We have
70
control over the way we think and act, and what we say and
do, but we certainly cannot make somebody else do
anything unless they want to.
You can put them on our board and see them happier,
healthy, and more loving, or whatever it is you want for
them. You can then certainly help, encourage and motivate
the person, but they will need to want the change; it's not
up to you. The same goes with making a certain person hire
you or fall in love with you, or whatever it may be; you
cannot manifest for someone else. Don't get stuck on
changing a particular person; it's very unlikely to happen.
Question: Seriously, does this stuff really work?
If you doubt it's going to work, there is probably not much I
can say or do to prove otherwise. You're going to spend
possibly two to three days working on creating a vision
board if you do it right as laid out above. Let's just say it's
all mumbo jumbo voodoo stuff and has no effect on your
life. At least you now have a clearer vision of what you
want to work towards, a more focused direction you're
going in life. But, if you expect and keep your eyes open
for the magic happening around you, you might be happily
surprised.
71
Question: I cannot find the images I'm looking for, what

should I do?
If you're looking for images about feelings, this can
sometimes be a problem, and even physical items like
watches can sometimes be a problem in magazines. I would
suggest looking online in Google Images or Pinterest. If
you cannot find them there, look at the paid services like
Shutterstock.com. As a last resort, you could always try
drawing or designing it yourself.
Question: Isn't this just like wishing?
A wish is a desire or hope for something, but has no real
substance behind it. But, if you wish for it every day and
see it in your mind as its happening now, then it becomes
more like visualization. A vision board takes this one step
further and actually puts a physical image to the
visualization and helps your subconscious mind and the
universe get into vibration with this being in your life.
Question: Should I remove an item from the vision board
if it comes to me?
This depends on what it is. If your goal is to have ongoing
good health or a great relationship, it might be an idea to
keep the image up, as it's an ongoing goal. If you want a
certain income and you now want to step it up, then
absolutely take down the lower amount and increase it.
72
Question: Can I change my mind about things I put on

the vision board?
The chances are you very well might do just that. Your
concept about what you want in your life and where you
want to go throughout this process is going to change. I've
seen people start with lots of little details and then change
to a bigger picture about their lives with a realization that,
for them, the details don't matter as much.
Question: Can I use the vision board to change my bad
habits?
Absolutely! But remember, it takes at least 21 days of daily
activity to change a habit. Like I've mentioned many times,
a goal is not going to change on its own without your acting
on it. But put the vision of the new you without the habit on
the board. Also, to change a bad habit it's a good idea to
replace it with a good one. So put that on the board next to
it.
Question: My spouse thinks I'm crazy doing this, what
should I do?
You don't need another persons permission to move your
life forward, even if it is your spouse. And, if you wait for
them to change their mind, you'll probably never move
forward with this life-changing project. I understand that it
can be frustrating, but let them know this is important to
73
you and you're going to give it a shot, and you don't expect
them to participate, but you would like their support.
Simple communication about this can sometimes help a lot.
Don't let their resistance or disbelief in the process affect
your belief that the things on the vision board are going to
manifest. Push forward with full belief and expectations.
Once things start changing, there will very likely be a
change of viewpoints from the other person. But, you don't
want to end up in 10 years regretting not trying because of
somebody else's viewpoint.
Question: Should I use a certain color background on my
poster board, like green or red?
As with the layout of the pictures, there really is no right or
wrong answer to that. The universe really does not care one
iota about what color you decide to project your images on.
Go with what feels good or inspiring for you, and don't get
caught up worrying about the small stuff.
Question: How often should I look at the vision board,
journal or cards?
The more often you look at and get an emotional feeling
about having the things in your life, as if you already have
them, the better the chances of them quickly arriving. This
does not mean spend every waking moment studying them.
74
Normally, looking at the vision board for a few minutes

before you go to bed, so your subconscious can work on it
during the night and again in the morning, is enough.
Question: Should I get my family involved or is it just for
me?
If they are open to the idea of creating joint vision boards, I
say go for it. But don't try to force people into it. It's great
to sit down with the family and start imagining what your
future is going to look like together. Get your kids to come
up with ideas, and cut out pictures together to make it
happen. I think it's a great way to bring a family together
and have a lot of fun at the same time. But, again, don't
force others into it, and let everybody have a say as to what
is going on the board. Also, just go with the flow. Don't get
into a fight over one person wanting a trip to Jamaica and
one wanting to go to Europe. Put both down and see what
happens.
Its also a great way to discover the other persons passions
and desires, what they really want out of life and in what
direction they want to go. You can then work together to
align all of your dreams and desires in a similar direction.
It's also a great thing to do at work to get people creating
the future and working on the same page towards a
common goal or experience.
75
NOW, Lets Recap What Weve Learned About

Creating A Successful Strategy For Manifesting Your
Future Vision.
1. Create vision targets that are challenging, but not too
overwhelming. You should believe it will happen and that
you can achieve it. Remember, you can always increase the
difficulty of the target as your comfort with achieving it
grows.
2. Set goals/experiences that you have a strong, positive
emotional attraction to. This emotional reaction is not
talked about much in the law of attraction and
manifestation, but its an important aspect that will really
speed up the process of the universe giving it to you.
3. Keep an open mind to accepting other things that the
universe throws your way. If youre looking for a certain
type of job, but you get an offer out of the blue in a slightly
different area than what you wanted, perhaps its the
universe giving you a clue to change your direction,
especially if you get several nudges.
4. Try and look at your Vision Board and get emotionally
connected with it at least once or twice per day.
76
5. When you look at your Vision Board and emotionally

connect, think of the items as if they have already
happened. As if you currently have them in your life today!
6. Create a step-by-step list of how you're going to
accomplish the goals on your Vision Board, but be willing
to let the universe deliver them in whatever manner it
chooses.
7. Create an Accomplishment Board that sits next to your
Vision Board.
8. Create a Gratitude Board with all the things you are
grateful for in the past, present and future.
9. Keep changing up all your boards as your life changes.
10. Take action NOW...get off your butt and work towards
the experiences you want in your life! Look at your list of
steps and try to move forward on the items at least a little
bit every day. Remember, you dont know what wonders
the universe has planned for you or is going to throw your
way. Always stay open to what opportunities and doors
open along your daily journey. The universe is
magicaland is listening!
Happy Manifesting!
