Have you ever made a Vision Board?!

I hadn’t until last week. And I must say…you might want to consider doing so!

Last week I was at the SCJohnson Headquarters for a Planning and Brainstorming Meeting with the other Family Economics Bloggers. We were asked during the brainstorming session to create a vision board. On the vision board, we were to portray what we wanted to do with each of our sections of Family Economics.

Here’s how the Vision Board helped me:

1. Focus.  This exercise helped me better see what I was to be doing.  It clarified my vision and made me see my work for what it is, and what I want it to be.

2. Ideas. Creating the vision board gave me all sorts of ideas and really got my creative juices flowing.  The daily grind of blogging can often stifle out your creative juices.  A flooded inbox, too many products to review or giveaways to manage, a series that you’ve left half written…so easy to get lost in the “to-dos.”

3. Goals. The vision board will help you set and/or refine your blogging goals. It will help you define/redefine your blogging purpose.

4. Vision. Right, of course…it’s called a Vision Board.  It should give me a better vision, right?!  And that it did!

Stop and take a minute to create for yourself a Vision Board for your blog, your brand and  your business.  Do it with a Sharpie on a piece of poster board. Or beautify it with some stickers and magazine cut-outs.  Then put it up on the wall in your office or by your desk.  Let it stand as a constant reminder to why you are doing what you are doing…and how you are going to accomplish.

Have you ever made a Vision Board?!

Disclosure: My trip to WI was provided. I was not asked to blog about any of it. I just loved this idea and found it helpful and wanted to share it with the Savvy Blogging Community.
