Make your Own Vision Board

Make Your Own Vision Board? You may be saying “Are you Kidding Me? No…I’m not!

You may continue with…”I can’t afford the time…blah…blah…blah.”

Here’s the deal. You may not be able to afford NOT to take the time. This organic progress can ground you and is your key to attracting exactly what you want! Create YOUR Vision Board the Law of Attraction. You can make it offline/online…I’m a both/and person vs. an either/or.  Why act like one way is better when both work!  Decide which method best resonates with you.

A question to start you down your Visioning path…
Does Your Vision have the Midas Touch?

If you don’t know what this Midas Touch is or your answer is “No,” keep reading.

It’s take to time TAKE CHARGE of YOUR LIFE! I’m baring all about what is necessary for creating your Vision Board and your Vision Biography. A biography is an account of something.  In this case, it’s an ongoing account of your Vision! Get your cup of coffee or glass of wine. This is a longer post…Enjoy!

I am asking myself this question as Roby & I “revamp” our Vision Board. It’s worth repeating…

Does your VISION have the Midas Touch?

Why ask this question?  First of all, Your Vision...envisioned through your Vision Board illustrates your Vision Biography and is a part of your master business plan.  Like a business plan, it is not static…it is ever changing and evolving.  Our desires don’t remain the same.  I am not the same person today that I was yesterday.  Being personally in the midst of this process right now, I know that I want it to have the Midas Touch...I want it to be the set of wheels on my vehicle that takes me to my ultimate, massive financial freedom… affording me the options and flexibility I desire. I will forewarn you that this process does not come without a certain amount of angst.  That will only continue, however, if you resist the inevitable chaos vs. embracing it in order to move through more easily and naturally in this process. If you feel overwhelmed, check out this prior blog post about how quantum physics can help you create your dreams. It gives you a framework for moving through your personal chaos!

So…here’s how you begin the process of envisioning and creating an offline Vision Board (meaning it is a physical one that you can touch and feel vs digital one) with the Midas Touch over a several week period.  You will discover that you begin attracting some of what you envision IMMEDIATELY!

• MULL – Seriously contemplate your desires…both personal and business. Go through magazines and cut out anything that jumps out at you.  This is an organic process.  Do not censor at this point.  Just cut and throw it in a big bucket or box with a lid (you’ve heard of a bucket list from the movie of the same name…that’s what you are creating!)
  
• INVESTIGATE – Imagine examining your desires & dreams under a microscope. It’s now time to pull those magazine dream catchers out of the big bucket. Allow this to be an evolving process. I suggest you do this investigative process on a different day than you do your “mulling” involved in the initial step. Analyze your desires, see them in your mind and then sit quietly with them to determine if they resonate with your core values. Take those that fit and throw them into a second big bucket. Don’t fret if several from bucket one just don’t “feel right,” after this investigation.  That’s why you are doing it.  Nothing goes in bucket #2 that you do not want to (at this point!) add it to your Vision Board.  Remember…this is YOUR Vision Board.  Don’t add something just because some hot shot guru added it to his or her board.  You are unique! Live by it.
  
• DEVISE - Conceive, plan & design how you want to put together the pieces of your Vision Board to sync with the core of who you are – You can do it by sections. Again, use another day for this process. Pull the pictures and words out of the second bucket. Spread them around on the floor.  This isn’t a race.  This is about creating a Vision from which you will make your choices. You can add your Vision Statement (some call it a Mission Statement). Our middle section of our Vision Board is like our own middle of our body.  It is a core foundation of who we are.  It must provide a strong foundation. It represents our spiritual center, although that part also overflows to the left third bottom (as you are looking at the board below) while our real estate dreams are at the left third top.  That is one of our properties.  Some of these living words such as “DANCE” (something we do with one another each day before going to bed) are also a part of our spiritual core and connection.
  
• ACHIEVE - Ponder how you intend to bring about the results of your Vision. This is where you can now move to your Business Plan and start writing your detailed goals….ah, another post will have to give the outline for that plan.
  
• STRENGTHEN – This is where you continue to “erase and replace” pieces of your Vision that you no longer feel are empowering you.  Remember, this is about evolving, not remaining static!  Remove any part at any time.  Once a quarter, give your Vision Board a good 2-3 hour session and overhaul.  During the first week of the new year, devote an entire day to mulling, investigating, devising, achieving and strengthening so that you are fully prepared for being all that you can be in a new year!
  

Our Vision Board is a tri-fold one on black foam core. You are looking at it unfolded.  Its normal full-time spot is one where it sits unfolded on top of the filing cabinet in our office so that we see it on a daily basis. I like the aspect of literally unfolding our Vision Board and placing it on our counter top. There is something organic about unfolding the board…perhaps it is analogous to the unfolding of our dreams. It also allows me to view the back. The entire front and back doesn’t have to be completed initially.  Leave some open space into which you can grow. We started with the front and expanded to the back, Mulling, Investigating, Devising, Achieving, & Strengthening. The central picture on the back of the Vision Board is shown in this short video below.  It about the connections between all of us…connecting and engaging…a central theme to my life! May it inspire you to Reach…Awaken2Life & Create Your Dreams!

Keep reading for more on new additions to our Vision Board and how we are Awakening2Life & creating our Dreams. Although our dreams contain some “things,” they don’t make it to our Vision Bucket List unless they equate to awesome experiences and resonate with our core.  We already live in the home of our dreams. You’re probably thinking BIG, huh? No…just the opposite.  SMALL…a dream of 1150 square feet with a sun room across the back leading to a deck with a hot tub with electric awning (yea…it rains a little in the Pacific NW, but not as much as people think…we rank 36th in the country in rainfall), look out over English gardens and a pond with Canadian geese, ducks and blue herons.  It’s a healing energy place that also has a 400 foot cottage for friends and my coaching clients…both individuals and couples…who come for “Coach B’s Tune-Up” week-ends or weeks. (One 80 year-old retired executive from Texas who wanted to learn about internet marketing actually rented for a month and got his coaching!).

Yes, we’re into small.  We took a year-long journey across America pulling a 13 foot trailer with an intention to engage hearts and minds, create authentic connections and transcend differences that separate us.  Life was simple, and we loved it.  We haven’t forgotten that journey and why we liked it!

Speaking of Small…I was at the Olympics in BC and saw something soooo small I had to contact the architect (who turns out to be from South Africa originally).  We will be going up to meet with him in May to see about potentially securing the rights to market it in the United States. DREAM BIG!

Does a LYF Video & call with LYF Founder Michael S. Han glimpse a future Blue Ocean Strategy company?

Are you tired of the hype of many new network marketing companies today?

Well…I know I am.

That is why I’ve spent my network marketing career of 2 years with one primary company, where I am in the top 3%.  As a life-long coach and visionary entrepreneur/marketing expert (Advertising Specialties Institute Small Business of the Year in the U.S. in 1995), who has been in business for myself since 1983, I sought a way to promote my network marketing business ANY WAY other than talking with friends and family, and tackling every person within a 3 foot range. That led me to utilizing new school technology and internet marketing since I live in Blaine, WA, a small town just 5 minutes from the Canadian border.

My distaste for MLM Hype, the Dismal Failure Rate (97%) in Network marketing, and Information Overload that leads people to feel overwhelmed and stuck vs. energized and empowered  is why I will soon launch a new blog.  Coach B, (me), aka Wonder Woman Blogger will fight these crimes with all the special forces I can muster.  Check out my video on the right side of this blog, and read my blog earlier today, “How do YOU Turn Information Overload Into An Asset?”

Back to LYF Brands and how their foray into this industry relates/doesn’t relate to network marketing hype.

LYF is a new company  seeking to breathe new life into an exploding industry.  As the new kid on the block, it seeks to move beyond the hype of many new companies.

Can it become a  Blue Ocean Strategy company in the midst of a bloody “red ocean” of rivals in the health, wellness, and lifestyle market which is fighting over a shrinking profit pool?

There’s only one way to find out.  Watch the video, check out their LYF Center, and then be on the conference call today with the Founder of LYF Brands, Michael S. Han.

Is LYF Brands & their LYF Center on their way to Winning the Kentucky Derby or the NCAA Final Four?

YOU Decide! The LYF Center clearly shows how LYF Brands is already beginning to differentiate itself…right out of the gate.

Pick them to not only win the equivalent of the Kentucky Derby, but the NCAA Final Four all in one year.  LYF Brands is just that powerful!

Speaking of the NCAA bracket, have you selected yours? President Obama has.  Yes, there is March Madness at the White House! And if Kathy Sammons send her NCAA bracket to me, I will post it here on this blog.

LYF Brands is awakening to its potential…and bringing the LYF Associates along with it!

The LYF Center  with Master LYF Coach Michael Kelly clearly offers a glimpse into the Giraffe Principle aspect of LYF Brands, putting itself heads above the rest of the competition.  That perch at the top means it is breathing that rarified air that enables it to operate with a clarity of vision. The LYF Center will propel you to new heights, right along with the company.  The intention of the LYF Center supports you in:

Taken directly from the LYF Brands website:

At the LYF Center, we want to mold all individuals who are willing to make the right choices, take the necessary actions, and become leaders among their Associates. It takes discipline to be able to invest in your life and stray from the frivolous pursuits of other people’s interests.
The LYF Center will help enhance the lives of those who are or want to become leaders.  Be it lifestyle, luxury and/or well being, the LYF Center is there for us. How will it improve your LYF?

When I visit Kentucky (where I formerly coached women’s Basketball at the University of Kentucky in the 80′s), people still ask me if I miss coaching.  I always reply that I can’t miss what I haven’t left…I just ride a different vehicle. You’ll notice that my tag line is “born to coach.”

I do admit that this time of year makes me nostalgic, not just for basketball, but for the races at Keeneland and at Churchill Downs where the Derby is run.  Grab your pen and paper, and fill in your NCAA bracket, both men’s and women’s and enjoy the ride of your life with the tournament.

Consider doing the same with LYF Brands. Are you on a life quest? Is that part of who you are?

Personally, I have been on a life quest, well…all my life! I love an adventurous expedition where I can constantly dance on the edge until I leap out into the air, trusting that I will either fly or find solid ground, allowing you to awaken.

I believe AWAKENING is Taking Responsibility for your Consciousness…in health, wealth and LYF! The common denominator in LYF is YOU!

LYF Brands provides that exciting opportunity of awakening, and is why I chose LYF Quest to express where I am headed. Thanks, Roby, for having that lyf-giving, bright idea!

Go check out the LYF Center at LYF Quest.  It is a drop down under “company.”

If you want to join with me, contact me, and let’s chat.  I want to know more about you and have you know more about me than only what you read on my blog. If we determine we are a good fit with one another, I will give you my user name to join.

I am fascinated by the following that I found on the website for this new company.  It truly resonates with my philosophy. When you read WORK WITH COACH B, you will understand why I say that!

As LYF Master Coach Michael Kelly states, Walk Worthy…I couldn’t say it better myself! Coach B

10 Keys Determine if LYF Brands has the potential to be the next “Yellow Tail” Blue Ocean Strategy Company

Are you thinking, “WHO is LYF Brands?…WHAT the hell is Blue Ocean Strategy?…and WHAT does Yellow Tail (surely you have heard of Yellow Tail even if you don’t drink wine) have to do with LYF Brands?

Great questions! Ok, please allow me to answer them one at a time.

1. “WHO is LYF Brands?

LYF Brands became the new kid on the block in the network marketing industry (specifically the health/wellness/lifestyle field) when Founder Michael Han held the first “official” call on Friday, March 12, 2010.

2.WHAT the hell is Blue Ocean Strategy?”

At BlueOceanStrategy.com, you will find two important pieces of information to check out:

A) What is Blue Ocean Strategy? 10 Key Points

B) How Blue Is Your Ocean?”- 10 Important Questions

3. WHAT does Yellow Tail have to do with LYF Brands?

I believe the 10 key points provide a blueprint for LYF Brands and that “How Blue Is Your Ocean?” provides reflective questions for consideration as LYF Brands enters a crowded market, much like Yellow Tail did back in 2001.Different markets? Yes. Similar scenarios? Yes.

A case study on the website explains how Yellow Tail used Blue Ocean Strategy to differentiate itself in the very crowded wine market.  Yellow Tail literally did the following and LYF Brands must do the same.

Yes, Yellow Tail branded itself by reconstructing market boundaries.

As Paul Harvey always said, “and now…the rest of the story.”  Check it out and give me your thoughts.

Before I do that, a shout out to Clare Kelway and Sheldon Davis for turning me onto the book, Blue Ocean Strategy (which I’ve just ordered).  That led me to search for the BOS website.  I am mesmerized by the information.

LYF with Michael Han will never be the same!

Ok…so LYF  is pronounced LIFE.  That is why I say that Life with LYF will never be the same with Michael Han at the helm!

To read what Michael Han has accomplished with his billion dollar company, Envion, turning plastics into fuel (for one thing), it’s not surprising at all to discover that he is now embarking on the journey of his LYF with his foray into developing a network marketing company that he says will create “life” (how about LYF) beyond his existence on this earth!
