This was in my vision board last year... I chose the name of my “future startup”, bought the domain jadedentistry.com, chose the logo, and picked a date for opening and designed this “invitation card”. I was planning to spend 12-18 months to build a startup so 11/2021 would be reasonable.
Then Covid hit! I thought I had to delay my plan. There’s no way in a million year that I would imagine running from collecting unemployment benefit to becoming an owner in 6 months. The startup plan is now back to the closet but I found me my home with the group of excellent people that I am hoping to work with for years to come.
I am renewing my vision board the 2021 so thought to share about the last one with my friends and family. You guys can tell that I truly believe in vision board. When you have your goals right in front of your eyes day in and day out, you will keep motivated. Another benefit: you will hold yourself accountable because now everyone visiting your house/room can see these goals too. Things won’t happen until you write it down.
Here’s how to do it:
1) Go to the dollar store and buy $1 poster board.
2) Print out pictures or short words of what you want to happen in a month/year.
3) Stick/glue it to the board.
4) Hang the board where you can easily see it every day (even hang it in the restroom if you want to ).
Cheaper version: use lots of colored pens and highlighters to write down your goals on a sheet of paper and tape it anywhere you want (following step 4)
