Catch The Vision

Created by Mike Weingarten
A popular tool in the business world is using what is called a vision board. The board shows all that the company wants to accomplish.

This month we want to encourage every one to create their own personal vision board!

Include these six areas;
1.Financial
2.Spiritual
3.Cultural
4.Physical
5.Mental
6.Social

Write down your goals and break them up into the following categorize;
daily, weekly, monthly, & long term.

Add your own graphics to make them your own!

Hang up your vision board some where you can look at it everyday, and take the first steps to becoming who you want to be.

Opening Social
