What is a vision board?
A vision board is simply a visual representation or collage of the things that you want to have, be, or do in your life. It usually is a poster of cut out pictures, drawings and/or writing of things you want in your life.

The purpose of a vision board is to activate the law of attraction to begin to pull things from your external environment that will enable you to realize your dream. By putting all your desires on paper in the form of pictures and writing, you are charging your emotion and you will begin to manifest these things in your life.
This is the science behind the law of attraction.
The law of attraction states that we attract into our lives anything that we give attention to, regardless whether it be positive or negative. From a psychological view, the law of attraction can be best explained by the information filtering system of the brain known as the reticular activating system (RAS). Vision boards serve the role of programming the RAS to tune into external stimuli that can help us move closer towards our intentions.

Your vision board is only limited by the extent of your creativity. Theres no “right way” to make it.
The general elements that a well-designed vision board should include are:
Emotional. Each picture and or drawing should summon a positive feeling within you. Looking at your vision board should make you happy everytime and fuel your passion to achieve whatever is on it.
Visual. Make your board as visual as possible. Your subconscious mind works in pictures and images.
Strategic Placement. Your vision board should be placed in a location where it is alway seen for maximum exposure. Your subconscious mind needs to always be reminded of what is present on your board in order to manifest the desires quickly then you hope.

What you’ll need to make it

Compile your pictures by going through the magazine and selecting those that are relevant to your goals.  Then you’ll need to sort through them and cut out the ones that impact you the most emotionally. Cut the extraneous material away from the image. You will then arrange your pictures creatively on your board. Remember, your board should resonate with your emotions. Once you are content with the placement, begin to glue. You can also add writing to it as well.
Make sure to update your vision board if needed.
It needs to inspire you always. If at some point something on it doesn’t seem to spark that fire for you anymore, update it with new fresh images that inspire you.

Always remember.. If you can believe it, you can achieve it!

I’m a strong believer in the secret, the law of attraction and that we have the ability to summon our dreams, goals and desires through positive thinking. I found this video very inspiring and thought I would share it.
Enjoy!! CREATE a wonderful day.

This is a story about 2 lumberjacks. One was named Tom and the other, Steve. One day they got into a competition to see who could cut down a tree the fastest. Tom, being the arrogant type said to Steve, “I can definitely cut down the tree faster then you! You’re so small!” Tom, was tall with big muscles. While Steve was small and skinny. As the competition went on, Tom was hacking away at the tree. He was going as fast as he could. Every time Tom took a quick breather and looked over at Steve, he was taking a break. Tom thought to himself, “I am definitely going to win!”
This process continued for awhile. Tom continued to hack away at his tree and every time he took a quick pause and looked over, he saw Steve taking a break.

Next thing he knew, Tom heard Steve yell out, “TIIIIMMMMBBEEERRRRR!!” And Steve’s tree fell down to the grown. Tom was dumb founded and didn’t understand how in the world Steve just beat him.
So he looked at Steve and said, “Every time I looked at you, you were taking a break. How did you beat me? How did you cut down your tree faster than me?”
Steve replied, “Not only was a taking a break when you looked over, I was also sharpening my axe!”
Because Steve had a sharper axe, he was able to cut down his tree faster!

Many network marketers who get started in this industry do not take the time to sharpen their axe. They come in with a dull axe and/or simply try to “make it” in this industry without focusing on the necessities, the smaller things that will help them succeed. Success comes based on compounding effort! Achievement is not about luck. It’s about strategy.
Is your axe sharpened?

So, Why Do 3% of Harvard MBAs Make Ten Times as  Much as the Other 97% Combined ?

The answer is a simple question:
“Have you set clear, written goals for your future and made plans to accomplish them?”
In 1979, interviewers asked new graduates from the Harvard’s MBA Program and found that :

• - 84% had no specific goals at all
• - 13% had goals but they were not committed to paper
• - 3% had clear, written goals and plans to accomplish them

10 years later, the 13% of the class who had goals were earning, on average, twice as much as the 84 percent who had no goals at all. 
Even more staggering,  the 3% that had written goals earned 10 times more than the 97% of their class!!
Coincidence? I think not!

(Source:  from the book What They Don’t Teach You in the Harvard Business School, by Mark McCormack)

Take the time to write down your goals. If they’re not written down, they are just dreams.  When you write things down, it sets off a chain of events that will change your life. I am a firm believer of writing.

Don’t have the time to write them down?

If you don’t have time to write down your goals, where are you going to find the time to accomplish them? Food for thought

I say “consider” because I realize affiliate marketing may not be for everyone.

For the many marketers who soley promote network marketing and MLM opportunities you may want to consider implementing affiliate products. Here’s why:

* No mass downline building necessary.

* It presents you with a great opportunity to increase revenue.

*If you currently have a blog or website with consistent traffic you can capitalizing on traffic you already have. Every time someone browses through your site or blog and makes a purchase on your merchant’s site, you earn a commission!

* Affiliate Marketing programs are free to join! Check out www.Clickbank.com for more details.

However, even if you have no intentions of becoming an affiliate marketer you may want to consider using affiliates to promote your own business. Using affiliates is an excellent idea and inexpensive way to promote ANY business. (online or offline)

It’s estimated that in the last year, $95 billion was transacted online as a direct result of affiliate marketing. And those affiliates earned over $6.5 billion in commissions.
This definitely may be a venture you may want to consider
