Bringing Your Vision to Life with Vision Boards

On today's episode, Matt and Garrett talk about the value of vision boards and visualizations for your vision. We're just into the new year, and with it comes fresh hopes and dreams, and this discussion could not have been more apt. Many people don't have a vision board, not even a simple image of something that they can look at every day as a goal and a reminder that they're going after that goal. As a result, they lose focus, keep postponing the goal, and in most cases, never put plans in action. The hosts today discuss how having a vision board and visualizations remedies this.   Before getting into the topic of the day, the hosts reflect on the podcast's three years of being. Matt mentions that the Ninja Selling podcast has been hitting incredible numbers, and they are full of gratitude to the listeners, and their Facebook community for the podcast downloads, engagement, and growth.   Getting into visions and vision boards, Garrett ties the Ninja Selling Podcast's growth over the last three years to the day's topic, mentioning he never envisioned the remarkable growth of the podcast when they started. Our hosts go on to the value of creating vision boards and share personal experiences about using them themselves. In this episode, you'll hear a mixture of real-life stories, including fence construction, kitchen repairs, a swimming pool, car payments, getting the body in shape, and how they were determined by sticking—or not sticking—to the vision board. Garrett narrates a seemingly impossible task achieved by having it on a vision board, and together they recommend steps to start on a vision board. The value of having a physical vision board in your environment and the need to be careful about who you put your vision board around are also emphasized. As you will hear today, having a clear vision is crucial to success in any endeavour, and having a vision board is a key tool in making that vision a reality.   Join the Ninja Selling Podcast group on Facebook at Ninja Selling Podcast Facebook where you share ideas, ask questions, and connect with other Ninjas.

And a lot of people don't realize that when you have to deal with it on an everyday basis, it becomes a part of you in a much different way than just the, 'I want to take a trip to Peru sometime'. Because then that turns into next year. I really want to take a trip to Peru sometime. And then the following year, I think we should really plan a trip to Peru. It just keeps dragging out."    "That's the craziness about a vision board is that you don't have to go figure it out. You just focus on it, and looking at it every day, all of a sudden causes the president of the group to reach out to you and be like, 'Hey, are you guys interested in doing this? We'd love to have you.'"   "Do you believe at the core that this is available to you or that it is already in existence, it's just on its way to you? And I find that that will make or break whether the things on the vision board will come true for you."   "I think vision boards are like the four-minute miles where once you realize that other people have broken through incredible barriers by using these things, you're like, how could I not create one?"   "And people go, 'Where in the world did you figure out how to get a shipping container in your backyard and have it be a pool?' 'It started off as a picture on a board.'"    "What's really good to get in the habit of is being able to say, 'I don't know currently how we're going to get there, but the answers will show up around me if I focus on it enough.'"   "There's never a wrong time to sit down and create a vision board and to put some things down that you're going to remind yourself every day that this is the stuff that's important to you and this is what you want to be doing. You can do it midyear. You can create a new one every couple of months, switch things around, and put stuff up there. But make sure everything you look at on that board you're excited about."    Links   www.TheNinjaSellingPodcast.com Email us at   [email protected] Leave a voicemail at (208) MY-NINJA   Ninja Selling www.NinjaSelling.com @ninjasellingofficial   Ninja Coaching: www.NinjaCoaching.com @ninja.coaching   Ninja Events www.NinjaSelling.com/Events   Garrett [email protected] @ninjaredding   Matt [email protected] @matthewjbonelli   The Ninja Selling Podcast Facebook Group
