Create Your Ultimate VisionBoard

Title: Create the Ultimate Vision Board for your Direct Sales Business

The best way to achieve your direct sales goals is to keep them somewhere you’ll see them every day.

Seeing them will prompt you to visualize achieving your goals and in turn this will activate the creative powers of your subconscious mind to help you.

You might find that you’ll notice opportunities more easily, you might have more creative ideas for your business, you might find that you’re more focused every day.

No, that’s not by magic…but by using your Reticular Activating System in your brain.

You can train this Reticular Activating System and that will help you to maintain your focus and use your subconscious mind to work on your goal with you (more in this article).

To keep your goals where you can see them every day, you can create a visionboard. And if you do it right, it might just be the the most valuable time you invest in your business all year!

I’ve got some (research-based) tips for you to ensure your visionboard is more than just a collection of wishes and pictures. Let’s create a visionboard that actually works.

4 Steps to an awesome visionboard

Step 1 – Connect your vision to actions and feelings

It is important that you connect your visionboard to action steps and plans.

Scroll down to sign-up for a printable that will help you to set goals but also to look forward and think about possible obstacles or difficulties. And then you can think about how to deal with them should they occur. This way you prevent that a small set-back gets you off-track and instead you already have considered some way of dealing obstacles!

Once you’ve set out your goals dealt with obstacles, you need to ‘cement’ them in your mind by attaching a feeling to the outcome. Imagine how you’ll feel once you’ve achieved each goal. Really feel it. Then write it down.

Now you’ve created a very powerful document for yourself so keep it close!

I recommend that you set goals for no more than 1 year ahead. If you set goals for further into the future it’s quite hard to connect the vision or goal with action steps.


Step 2 – Start creating

Once you are clear on the goals, plans and feelings it’s time to create the actual visionboard!

Start by looking for pictures that represent your goals. You can use photographs, magazine cut-outs, or just Google the images you want.

I love using Pinterest to find images that resonate with me. Every year I create a secret board for my goals as a step to creating my vision board.

From the images you’ve collected, create a collage. I suggest making two, a physical collage to hang up in your office and a digital one.

For my office, I a stylish corkboard.

You can also put your visionboard somewhere more private. Some people have their vision board inside the door of a cupboard they access regularly, and this can work very well too.

For my digital visionboard I love to use a photo collage app. Once I finish creating it, I use it as a lock-screen image and screen saver on all my devices. This way I see it quite often throughout the day.

Jack Canfield warns that it’s important to keep your vision board neat. Avoid creating a cluttered or chaotic board because you don’t want to attract chaos in your life!


Step 3 – Add affirmations and quotes

Add motivational or affirmation words and inspirational quotes to your visionboard. Choose the ones that represent how you want to feel while you’re striving for your goal and when you achieve it.


Step 4 – Make time to review your vision board every day

Remember to take a few moments to review your vision board every day. Especially when you wake up or just before you go to bed!

You want to make sure that your vision board doesn’t just become ‘background noise’ in your life – so you need to make an effort to pay attention to it.

I would love to see your vision board too so please share it on the Direct Sales Inspiration Facebook page.

How to overcome: I can’t speak in front of people

When your sponsoring lead says they're not confident like...here's how to respond. #DirectSales #PartyPlanning

This is the final part in the “How to Overcome” series that delves into how to deal with objections when you’re recruiting.

Check out:

Part 1 for How to Overcome: “I can’t afford to join”.

Part 2 for How to Overcome “I dont’ want to be salesy”

Part 3 for How to Overcome “I don’t have time”


“I can’t speak in front of people like you do…”

Some recruiting leads don’t think they can be as confident and happy to speak to groups of people as you are and they’ll tell you that they are too shy or introverted to speak in front of other people.

You can reassure these leads that there are several ways to deal with being nervous as a consultant or party plan representative. And of course, you can also reassure them that with practice, they will gain confidence.

In this short 6-minute video, I share what happened before my very first party and some of the ways I dealt with the nerves and fears. You can use these tips with your lead or simply send them to this video!

Go for your recruiting dreams beautiful!

If you feel that ‘recruiting’ or ‘prospecting’ is just not your thing….if you feel shy talking about the business opportunity, then this quick training might just help you!

As you know ‘attitude determines your altitude’ so this training works specifically on your Recruiting Mindset and how to get into the best mindset for your biz!
