Do vision boards really work?
The answer is simple: Yes, they absolutely do!
If you can see it, you can achieve it.
A vision board is a powerful creative tool used in both personal and professional development for goal setting and manifestation. It is a way of visualising your dreams and aligning your actions with the life you want to create. And when it comes to financial coaching, visualisation plays a crucial role.
The Power of Visualisation in Financial Coaching
I first encountered the concept of vision boards many years ago during personal development sessions, and I instantly connected with the process. As someone who loves crafting and creative expression, I found the act of putting together a visual representation of my goals both enjoyable and deeply insightful.
Since then, I have refined this technique and seen it deliver undeniable success in coaching sessions. Beyond the creative process, the real power of a vision board lies in its ability to help you shift your mindset. In financial coaching, this is particularly valuable, as your relationship with money — shaped by your beliefs and values — plays a significant role in your ability to plan and execute your goals.
We often dream beyond our self-limiting beliefs, visualising what seems impossible at first glance. Yet, it is only through clear visualisation that we can begin to break down these barriers and take the necessary steps toward achieving our dreams.
What Do You Want to Achieve?
During initial coaching sessions, the first question I ask clients is simple:
What do you want to achieve?
For some, the answer is clear and specific. Others, however, may respond vaguely or with uncertainty. They may say, “I want to buy a house,” but can’t offer any specifics — such as location, size, price bracket, or budget. The focus feels hazy, often clouded with doubt or fear.
There’s the fear of being unable to afford the house or being overwhelmed by the multitude of choices in an unspecific property search. Similarly, I’ve seen this happen in other areas, like fitness and health. Clients might want to lose weight but struggle to define how much or why they want to lose it.
This is where a vision board truly comes into its own.
How Vision Boards Help You Focus and Achieve Your Goals
Creating a vision board allows you to hone in on your true desires, to clarify your intentions, and pinpoint the exact outcomes you want to achieve. By considering your core values and purpose, you can craft a meaningful visual representation of the life you want to live — including areas of personal growth, financial freedom, career success, and more.
Once you have a clearer idea of what you want, you can take the next step — breaking it down into achievable goals, milestones, and moments of celebration. Remember, the journey is just as important as the destination, so celebrate the small wins along the way. After all, it’s those milestones that make the path towards your goals enjoyable and rewarding.

The Importance of Purpose and Focus
The default setting for most people is failure. Year after year, we make New Year’s resolutions or set goals — and then break them within the first few weeks. Without purpose, focus, and routine, we set ourselves up to fail. And that’s because a goal without a plan is just a wish.
The key to breaking this cycle is having a clear vision, with defined goals broken down into actionable steps. Research shows that when you write down your goals or create a visual representation of them, you are more than 40% closer to achieving them. The process of crafting a vision board helps solidify those intentions, making them more real and attainable.
Why Join a Group Vision Board Session?
While you can create a vision board at any time of year, there’s something truly powerful about doing it in a group. Vision board sessions are fun, creative, and therapeutic. And when you engage in a group session, you’re surrounded by people who share the same drive and determination to succeed. The positive energy in the room is contagious, and you’ll benefit from the collective enthusiasm.
Additionally, the power of networking during the creative process can open doors to new opportunities and connections. By sharing ideas and experiences with others, you gain alternative perspectives and valuable insights that could help you achieve your goals faster.
Creating a vision board is not just about dreaming big — it’s about cultivating a holistic approach to your ambitions. As you design your board, you will consider different areas of your life, from physical health and mental well-being to career and relationships. The process encourages balance, guiding you to reflect on the full spectrum of your aspirations.
You can also focus on a specific area you want to improve, such as career, financial growth, or health. The beauty of a vision board is that it’s entirely unique to you — no two boards will ever look the same, just as no two journeys to success are identical.
