Every network marketer knows the value and power of visualization in achieving our goals.
When in business for ourselves, only having contact with our business partners via the internet, can leave us feeling isolated.
The tools we employ to keep ourselves motivated and focused are crucial to our success.
Writing our purpose, our why, our self-talk, and identifying the things that are important to us are how we develop dream boards.
“Me and My Dream House”
Posting a visual representation of our dreams and goals on a bulletin board or on a desktop slideshow are easy ways to make a dream board that can be seen all day.
One of the keys to successfully achieving your goals and realizing your dreams is to set aside meditation time each day, preferable first thing in the morning.
If that timing doesn’t work for you, meditate while you are in the shower.
“My Dreams and Wishes for my Family”
- Find a quite spot, without distractions.
- Close your eyes.
- Get a mental picture of your goal/dream in your mind.
- Most importantly, focus on how you will feel when you have that goal in your hands.
- Imagine that you are already there.
- Do not think about how you will get there.
- Just focus on the awesome emotions you will be experiencing when it is a reality.
- Meditate for 5 to 10 minutes.
- At least once a day, twice is better.
- And remember, don’t worry about how you will get there.
- Worry will only cause you added anxiety and fear of failure…the emotions that will surely stand in the way of your success!
Once you create the habit of visualizing early in the day, start visualizing at bedtime.
After you’ve tucked the kids (or pets) into bed, kissed your significant other goodnight, and turned out the lights, focus on those goals!
Don’t think about your day or what you have to do tomorrow. Only think about your dreamboard and feel what it will be like once you are in possession of those things.
“Hawaii, part of my dream vacation plans!”
I created an album on Facebook to share my dream board. This takes courage since some of the pictures represent very personal growth goals and dreams for my family.
To declare my intentions to achieve these goals to the “Universe” is an important step to accepting the abundance of receiving them.
I also want to share my dream goals with others who may still be struggling with making their own dream boards and can get some ideas from mine.
At home, I have some of my goals and dreams on the wall by my desk.
I also have 2 slideshows on my computer desktop. I have Windows Vista which has the feature of a sidebar. One of the gadgets is a slideshow and you can have as many as will fit.
One of the slideshows are my personal and family dreams and goals and the other slideshow are my specific goals and visualizations for my business.
I also say with my meditation a self talk I learned from Dr. Wayne Dyer:
“I honor my worthiness to receive God’s blessings and abundance.”
“My Goals for Building My Business”

Hi Karen, Athletes visualize, musicians visualize, lots of successful people visualize – why not marketers? Heather used to visualize all the time before music events to help herself prepare for a successful performance. She has shared a few of the techniques with me, I guess I should talk her into doing this with me on a more consistent basis!
Your directions here for the meditation are great, focusing on the goal, not on how you will achieve it – there are other parts of your mind at work that are better able to figure that out than the part that wants to worry about it. If that part could figure it out, it would’ve already
Thanks for sharing! – Rob

Hi Karen, Great post! I truly believe in the power of visualization. I have seen the difference and results just in the last few months since I started doing this. I think it’s a great idea that you made a dreamboard album on Facebook. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the nice comments! It is so important to define specifically what it is you want.
The longer I stay involved in self development, the more focused I become on what drives me!
