134 - Vision Boarding
Today on the Scale Your Small Business Podcast with Jillian Flodstrom, Jill is breaking down vision boarding. Making a vision board can be fun, it can also be very inspiring for your business, and it can keep you laser-focused on your goals. Often, entrepreneurs don't allow themselves to dream and get bogged down in the day-to-day slog of it all. Let’s calm that chaos. First things first: a vision board can be whatever you want it to be. It can be the traditional, large poster style board, it could be purely digital visualization, it could be a Pinterest board, or it could be a small page in your planner. Your board could be purely visual, it could incorporate text, or it could be purely text in the form of a word bubble. It’s easy to forget your ‘why’ and creating this vision board can be a place for us to dream, get excited about your business again, check in with our goals, and make sure we're on track for where we need to be. When building your vision board, be intentional about your objective. This could be where you want to be at the end of the month, quarter, year, or even 10 years down the road. Whatever works best for you is what you should do. Set aside time to make it, and consider going through the process with a friend. Fear can be huge for a lot of entrepreneurs. There are a lot of unknowns out there. Calling that to the front of your mind and knowing no matter how difficult, you’re prepared, is even bigger. Another thing to keep in mind is where your vision board is going to live. This may dictate the size and style of your board but doesn’t change the goals. It can live on your wall, in your planner, or on your phone. Wherever it is, make sure you check off things or cross them out when you achieve them. They can be daily goals, weekly, or even bigger. Finally, you’re going to evolve, your business is going to evolve, and so will your goals. It’s okay to alter your vision board as you go!
