A Message from Noelyne...

“If you don’t know where you are going, you’ll end up someplace else.”

- Lawrence J. Peter



In order for you to achieve your dreams, you must have a vision of your goals. Writing down your dreams and creating a list of actions helps you stick to your plan. As it’s said “if you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it”. When you turn your goals into measurable actions, you gain clarity and are able to see the necessary steps you must take in order to achieve them.  If business is quiet for you now due to the economic climate then now is an excellent time to revisit your dreams.  Review where you are and make sure you are still on track.

Action: Visualize a life of your wildest dreams.

Imagine that money is no object so you can have the lifestyle that you really want.

If you knew you couldn't fail what would you be doing?

What did you dream of doing when you were a child?

What would you do if you had a million dollars?

Setting goals is something you you are probably familiar with.  People say things like: "Yes, we know we should set goals."; "Yes, we know we can set goals for health, for leisure, for work, for finance – in fact for all aspects of our lives."; "Yes, we know goals are extremely useful both to strive to achieve and to measure progress against.”  How many of you actually do it and stick to them?

But what if there was an inspiring, fun, exciting way to set goals for your life? What if the inspiring goals, actually helped your subconscious start focusing on them, day and night, without you even being aware of it?

The steps below show exactly how to develop inspiring goals and will result in you feeling so motivated that you automatically start to track for the things you most want.

Stop saying it and start doing.

How to Make a Dream Board

1.    You can either gather a stack of magazines (around 50 to 100), search for specific images on http://www.images.google.com, or both. The magazines should be different types, covering all the topics that you are interested in. Some suggestions include: money/wealth, career, sport, adventure, health, cooking, spirituality/philosophy, fitness, fashion, travel etc.

2.    Go through each magazine and cut out any random pictures that appeal to you, and search http://www.images.google.com for keywords that apply to your wants and desires. Allow your mind to wander and follow your instinct. Find bright, colourful images that make you feel fantastic or get you thinking about what life could be like if it were you in that picture. Some suggestions for pictures include people, cars, holidays, fashion, books, food, scenes, kids, adventure, jewellery, books, cash, diamonds, houses, shoes, boats etc. Try to minimize the words that you cut out.

3.    Purchase a magnetic board or a large blank painting canvas that is pre-strung on a timber frame and paper glue. (These are inexpensive and available at a local art store. I usually buy one which is about 1m * 1.5m – nice and big!)

4.    Schedule some time in your diary for cutting and gluing day! You may need 2 or 3 lots of time.

5.    On the day, put on your favourite inspiring music, make some coffee or whatever you like to drink. Buy some goodies to nibble on. And go to it!

6.    Cut out the pictures neatly and stick them on your board. Paste over any faces of the people you have cut out. This is your dream board! (And we don’t want you thinking about other people!).

7.    Place the dream board beside your bed or in your office and look at it at least twice a day for about 5 minutes. Enjoy the images, enjoy your work and imagine yourself leading the life that is in your dream board.

8.    You will notice in the following 12 months that you are starting to achieve some of the dreams you have stuck on your board.

9.    Begin collecting pictures for next year's dream board.

10.   Include family members in this project.

Tips
•    Magazines can be expensive! Consider collecting old magazines from friends, your local library, hairdressing salons, doctors surgeries, gyms, your work, thrift stores, bazaars etc. People are usually ecstatic to have someone recycling their old magazines.
•    Often magazine subscriptions are much cheaper and there are many that can be ordered online and delivered right to home.
•    Blank canvases for painting are available at your local art or stationery store. The cost will vary depending on the size you go for.
•    Or you could use a bulletin board
•    When making your dream board try to focus on the things you like the most! For example, I love to ski so I have a picture of mountains with a skier and some fabulous skis!
•    If you think you are going to need a bigger board then get it! You don’t want to worry you will not have enough space!

The recommended time of year to do a Dream board is January but why wait?  Why would you put off having the life that you want?  So go to it!

I’ll be waiting to hear about your successes.

Best wishes,
