- Hey, it's Terri Savelle Foy, your cheerleader of dreams.
You know, I've been making a vision board since 2012,
and it's amazing to see the dreams
on my board come to pass in my life,
and that's what I want for you for 2020.
In fact, for my subscribers this week,
I'm giving away my book to show you
how to make your vision board.
It'll be everything you need from start to finish,
so stay tuned, I'll show you how to get the book.
(upbeat music)
I put a pin on the world map to go to Moscow, Russia,
and here I am in Red Square in Moscow, Russia speaking
at a women's conference and sightseeing the Kremlin.
Can't you tell by the furry hats and furry coats? (laughs)
Then, I put on my vision board,
I wanted to drive a white Porsche Cayenne,
so I put a photo on my vision board right here.
Well, here I am, driving my beautiful white Porsche Cayenne.
Then, I put a photo that I wanted to speak
for the Amway Corporation.
Now, I'm not in Amway, I think it's an incredible company,
but I just put a photo on my vision board,
you know, speaking at their summit.
Well, here I am, walking onstage
to speak to 14,000 entrepreneurs with Amway,
which I've done many times now.
Then, I put a picture on here that I wanted to speak
at Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas,
so I cut out the logo and I put it on my vision board,
the picture of Joel and Victoria Osteen.
Well, here I am, speaking
at Joel and Victoria Osteen's women's conference
at Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas.
Well, I put a photo that I wanted to meet Oprah Winfrey.
I mean, who doesn't have this on their vision board?
I even had a picture of here magazine cover
on my vision board for years.
Well, here I am, getting a selfie with Oprah Winfrey.
I could go on and on, but when you see your dreams come
to pass one after another, you're convinced
in the power of having a clear vision
and keeping it before your eyes to manifest your dreams.
So, every year, I make a vision board.
That's why I wrote a whole book
about how to make vision boards
and we get testimonies everyday
from people checking off their dreams.
That's why, you know, with the holidays coming up,
I'm giving it away this week to my subscribers.
Stay tuned on how to get this free book,
but don't go another year without getting clear
on where you want your life to go.
So, here's the thing, we are trained to frame our past,
you know, by displaying pictures
of what we've already done and accomplished,
but see, your vision board is just the opposite.
You're literally framing your future
before it ever happens, and this is the fun part.
You know, God's word says, "Whatever a man thinks
"in his heart, so shall he become."
So, what you think about, you bring about.
Well, when you surround yourself with images
of your vision, it causes your dream to just come alive
on the inside of you, and it adds clarity to your dreams
by simply seeing them.
So, if you've ever made a vision board and gotten results,
comment below 'cause I'd love to hear your experience.
Let me answer the question,
what goes on your vision board?
Now, personally, before I ever start making the board,
I think.
You know, Henry Ford is that one who said,
"Thinking is the hardest work there is,
"which is probably the reason so few engage in it,"
but honestly, I just sit with a notebook and a pen,
and I just write.
Like, I truly think about, "What do I want in life?"
I imagine my life five years from right now,
or 10 years from now.
What do I want to have achieved?
Steven Covey says, "Begin with the end in mind," right?
And this might include, like, places I want to travel,
things like material possessions I want to have,
accomplishments I want to achieve,
people I want to meet or work with,
financial goals, how much money do I want to save
over the next five years or 10 years?
These are big dreams and aspirations
that may or may not take awhile,
and then, what I'd like to do, and it works every year,
is I think about what I want to accomplish
in the coming year.
Like, over the next 12 months in terms of my goals.
Now, keep in mind, goals are simply dreams with deadlines.
Now, I always do this.
I imagine that it's December 31st of the following year,
12 months away, and I pretend it's New Year's Eve,
and I'm with my friends, and with my husband,
my family with my little party hat on,
and I just say, "This has been the most amazing year
"of my life."
Then, I ask myself, "What would need to happen
"for me to say that?"
Then, I write my top 10 goals for the year.
So, in my notebook, I have my big dreams
that may take longer than 12 months,
and then, I have my top 10 goals that I am aiming
to accomplish in the new year.
Now, I explain in much more detail, how to set goals
in my book "Dream it. Pin it. Live it."
which I'm giving away free this week.
So, make sure you click the link to get your book
and get started.
So, let's answer, "How do you make your vision board?"
This is what I like to do.
You search for images.
You know, you've got this blank slate,
and you just start searching for images.
You could look through magazines,
you could go online, which I'd normally do,
you search for pictures and visual representations
that match your personal dreams and goals,
and it's so powerful to see your dreams
as if they're already true.
I've even chopped off people's heads (chuckles)
and put on my head on top,
so I could truly see myself living that dream.
So, I always keep these necessities together,
and just sit in the floor,
and have fun making my vision board.
So, you're gonna need pictures.
Like I said, you can look through magazines,
you can get postcards, brochures,
go online, research images.
You'll have fun researching these things
to match your dreams and goals,
and be as creative as you want.
You can look through magazines and cut out photos.
You can go online
and, you know, search through all different things
that match your dreams.
You can superimpose yourself in the image
or cut your photos and tape them together,
like I did with John Maxwell. (chuckles)
Here's my fake photo
that was on my vision board saying,
"I speak at events with John Maxwell."
Here is the real photo speaking at events
with John Maxwell.
It's amazing!
Then, you're gonna need pushpins
or some glue, or you can even use a glue gun,
and you can decide which works best for you.
I use pushpins so I can remove the goals once I achieve them
and it doesn't leave a messy finish,
but use whatever you want.
You're also gonna need scissors.
You can cut out your images.
You're also gonna need some pens, markers,
or stencil letters.
See, the fun thing about designing a vision board
is that it's as unique as you are.
So, make it your own style.
You know, some people make boards
that could be sold in an art auction, they're incredible.
Some people just tack seven photos on a poster board
and they're done, it's okay,
just don't allow the pressure of making it perfect stop you
from ever doing it.
It doesn't have to be perfect,
it just needs to be done and appeal to you.
And remember, most people don't even know what they want,
much less, take the time to visualize their dreams
and keep it before their eyes.
You are miles ahead of the rest of the world
in simply following through with this project.
You know, I think it's a good idea
to update your vision board each year.
I always make a new vision board for the new year,
and when you achieve your goals, you can place them
in your dream book, or your vision book,
as a reminder that dreams do come true.
And have fun designing your vision board.
This is your future and you get to frame it.
So, look for items that inspire you, that speak to you,
that represent where you want to go in life.
Look for phrases, you know, it could be a photo
or a headline that says, "New York Times Bestseller,"
or "Top Sales Winner" or "Grammy Winner."
So, this is how I make my vision board.
What I like to do is I number my top 10 goals
and match a photo to each goal.
Then, I surround the board with my big dreams
that don't necessarily have a timeline attached to them,
you know, those big aspirations that could take a while,
and, you know, once I'm done, I feel so prepared.
I'm focused, I'm clear on what I want to achieve
in the new year, and I don't think it's a coincidence
that I keep checking them off.
Now, let me tell you this, one very important point,
I must tell you, is, oh, and real quick,
comment below one of your big goals for 2020
'cause I would love to hear what you're aiming towards.
Okay, here's my point:
After you design your vision board,
it is vitally important that you keep these images
in front of you consistently.
This is not something you do on, you know, December,
or January first, and you never go back to look at it again
until the December 31st just to see
if anything magically appeared.
No, your mind moves toward the dominating images you keep
before your eyes.
The keywords, "that you keep before your eyes."
So, this was actually discovered in goal-setting
as the number one reason that goals go unachieved
is "out of sight, out of mind."
So remember, when the vision is clear,
the results will appear.
Now, let me know in the comments
