 An evaluation on what is working well for you and what isn’t working so well is the key component to making progress

towards a balanced lifestyle and brighter future for you and your family. Studies have shown that writing your goals down

means you have a 70% better chance of success. Re-writing goals every day and breaking them down in order of priority and

in sequence will help you to get clear and act without feeling overwhelmed.

Sometimes we don’t realize the baby steps or the cost of projects. So, if you are to accomplish your goals with ease, be honest

with yourself as to where you are starting from and what you can realistically do in any given time frame. Most of all be

flexible and alter deadlines as you go along, take action, procrastination is not the answer! Plan and take action, then you

will attract and manifest all that you need to achieve your vision and fulfill your purpose.

 You will attract your goals and your goals will be attracted to you, it happens automatically, it’s a Universal Law!

Introduction

If you’re like many Holistic Practitioners, Complementary Therapists, Healing Professionals and Spiritual Entrepreneurs Ihave worked with, spoken too and researched.

•   You love what you do, don’t do it for the money, and it never feels like you are really ‘working’.

•  It’s a natural extension of your abilities and a way of life.

•  What you do comes so easily, you get lost in time when you are serving your clients.

•   Your passion drives you to make a difference in the world.

Bearing in mind the value of what you and our fellow practitioners and business owners do, I am astounded by the huge

number of you who have been struggling behind closed doors for the past year or more to find clarity, balance and earn what

you are worth.

 After years of training to do the job you love, the reality of building and maintaining a practice sets in and it becomes yourbest kept secret that you find it a challenge to still have a life!.

Despite their dedication I saw and heard many saying “I am struggling and having a hard time getting clients and I

don’t feel comfortable selling myself or I don’t think advertising works.”

 You may be having a similar experience and getting clients is your single most challenging task of running your practice.

 You like others, realize that if you don’t actually have many or any clients you can not help and make your difference the way

you want to. Forget fulfilling your purpose for a minute, you can’t afford to pay the bills and your family suffers as a result.

Look at it this way in my Vision Marketing Series creating the vision of the way you want your life to look and feel means

letting people know what you do in ways that suit you personally and feel authentic to you. You connect and build

relationships with others and act on your strengths, so you attract and manifest your inner vision. Problem solved!

Perhaps you are at the opposite end of the scale and have too many clients to handle who often zap your energy, nit pick and

take up all of your time. Or You don’t know or haven’t yet defined your ideal client. I see and hear others saying “I am

burnt out, over worked under paid and have a hard time finding time to spend doing fun stuff with my loved

ones or I just can’t seem to find enough hours in the day to get all of my jobs done!.”

 You perhaps spend most of your time thinking; how do I reduce my workload, how did I get to the point where I feel guilty if I

have a break or how do I still make money if I schedule time off during the year?

 You perhaps never established a clear vision. Or if you did it has expanded and changed. Or it wasn’t what you thought it

was going to be now you have achieved it. Or you feel something is missing and you are now off course.

 You may not understand your true purpose in life. Or have become a little distracted from where you wanted your life to go

by the age you are now. With all that external ‘stuff’ going on, the years have flown by before you knew it. You might be

thinking you need to get your act together before you reach the age of retirement. 

Whatever your situation and how you are feeling about things, as your Vision Coach I can tell you when you write your

overall life goals down in a certain way, you can see what the next step towards reaching your vision is and you know if 

something will hurt your vision or support it. Then you can decide to do it or not!

Your plans need to include; balance in life and work,

then; holidays and time off you want to schedule for the year

then; who you want to work with,

then; when, how to leverage your time, delegating tasks, finding referral partners, including multiple income streams and

then; you have cracked it!

I created my Vision Marketing Series as a result of my research so it includes how to create the vision you have for your life

and work. Perhaps for the first time you will be stepping back from your business to take an outsiders perspective and

approach to every area of your work with the central idea to eliminate or improve things so you can have a balanced lifestyle.

This includes the ideal clients you are here to serve, so that you know how and where to find clients that resonate with you,

who want to pay you and are a joy to work with. You will use your vision to send out your message and an authentic vibe to

the universe through all of your marketing connections, relationships and material etc

In a nutshell the power of your vision attracts your reality and supports you until you reach your goals.

We’ve all had those moments in our life when we sense that things aren’t going exactly the way we expected. As long as we

are grateful for our life and every breath we take, but choose not to be satisfied with settling for less, we can make progress

quickly. Our negative limiting beliefs determine the who we are and what we can and can not do.

The good news is limiting beliefs can be changed and not being clear what the best next step is happens to all of us.

The important thing is what you choose to do about it. Do you simply ignore the feeling that something is missing and go

about life as usual? Do you begin to feel frustrated, depressed or dragged down?

Or, do you take it as a sign that now is the time to finally pursue and accomplish the things in your life that matter most?

“On this path effort never goes to waste, and there is no failure. Even a little effort toward spiritual awareness

will protect you from the greatest fear.”

 Bhagavad Gita

When you are clear on where you are now and what it is you want, you begin to create a clear mental image and start to act

on that image. When you have a vision you know that you are more than half way there to attracting and manifesting allthat you desire in your work and personal life and living your vision every day.

Extensive research conducted over the years shows that every person who has achieved great success in their life had a clear

vision and goal of what they wanted. It was always at the forefront of their mind, as they focused on it, and moved toward it.

Having a clear vision and goal is the hallmark of every form of high achievement and success.

Dreams, goals, and your own innate potential are useless if you don't follow through on them. Therefore, in order to achieve

your vision for your life, you must follow these four steps:

1.  Create your own personal vision using the mind and body, thoughts and actions to tap into the essence of who you

are and what you want for your life.

2.  Set a plan that is a well-defined roadmap that will get you from where you are now to where you want to be; with

actions, timelines, and milestones.

 What is Visioning?

 Visioning is the process of creating pictures in your mind of what you want for your life in the future. This includes all

aspects of your life – health, finances, relationship, career and more. Visioning uses both mental and physical tools of your

mind and body, such as the thoughts and actions to create and realize your goals.

It’s been widely acknowledged by experts that there is power in defining, declaring, and then committing to what you want

your life to look like.

 Your vision is the articulation of your desired future.

 A clear vision will help to set a desired course for you. Without this direction to guide us, we often fail to acquire the quality

of life we want and expect.

By following the four steps provided in this guide you will be well on your way to determining and realizing your vision for

your life!

The Benefits of Visioning

The benefits of visioning are endless; here are just some of the many benefits that you will begin to experience in your life as

you get clear on your vision for yourself and your life:

Belief in yourself :

When you get clear on what it is you really want, you become more confident, and believe that you can achieve what you have

dreamed. If you can conceive it, and believe it, then you can achieve it.

 A clearer sense of direction:Once you know where you're going, it is easier to decide if a suggested action will take you closer to or further away from that

place.

More options:

New opportunities will become available to you that you never had before, and your mind will be more open to considering

these possibilities.

Greater ease and focus:

With clarity of purpose comes the ability to center your attention and efforts on your goals, with less distraction and doubt.

 You will succeed with greater ease as you are now totally dedicated to what matters most.

Excitement:

 You have a renewed energy as you are now dedicated to pursuing the things that motivate and inspire you.

More productivity and efficiency:

Now that you are working toward your own vision, you handle your time, attitude and efforts far more productively.

Self-dedication and loyalty:

With this new awareness comes a strong commitment to follow through on the goals that are most meaningful to you. This is

crucial to set yourself free from the self-limiting thoughts and actions that have been holding you back.

Step 1: Create Your Own Personal Vision

Creating a space

Now it’s time to create your vision using both mental and physical tools of your mind and body, such as the thoughts and

actions to create and realize your goals.

Before you begin to create your vision, it’s important to set up a comfortable space for yourself where you will be able to quiet

your mind and focus your thoughts without outside distractions or interruptions.

Have pen and paper available as you are going to be writing down some important revelations during this process.

Be sure to allow plenty of uninterrupted time. Get comfortable, and clear your mind of any thoughts that may be trying to

infringe upon you during this time.

Relax and allow yourself to make the most of this experience. Exploring who you are and what you want……….

There are several exercises below that will help you in the visioning process. Take the time to complete some or all of them.

Do not rush.

The more you give yourself the time and space to reflect, the more that will be revealed through these exercises. Do not

abandon your work in the moments when you feel uncomfortable. Those moments are often the ones where you get the

greatest revelations. Feel safe and trust yourself in this process. It’s just you and your dreams. Enjoy this experience!

Back To the Future:

Now imagine yourself as you are nearing the end of your life. See yourself happy, content, and feeling fulfilled about a life

well spent. As you sit in your rocking chair on the porch on a beautiful spring day, reflect back on your life and answer these

questions:

•  What things am I most proud to have accomplished?

•  Who was I?

•  What kind of parent, friend, professional, neighbour, spouse, sibling was I?

•  What will I most be remembered for?

•  What message would I like to leave with those that I love?

The Future You:

The goal of this exercise is to identify your objectives for the year. This exercise helps you to connect with what you really

celebrate your success.

2.  Share what has transpired and what you have accomplished during the past year in your business and personallife.

3.  While you may write whatever is compelling to you, important areas to address for business/career are:

•  Who you serve

•  Number of clients

•  How you spend your day

Instructions:

1.  Write out a detailed description of your ideal day.

2.  Write separate descriptions of an ideal work day and an ideal personal day.

3.  Be as specific as possible, focusing on the things that make you feel great

Sample ideal work day:

I wake at dawn as the sun shines through my window. I mediated for half an hour and plan visualize my day in my mind.

I’m well-rested and excited about starting my day. My personal trainer arrives at 7:00 and takes me through my morning

exercise routine in my personal gym. I get excited and motivated to take on the world. Next, I have a healthy breakfast with

my family and we have some quality time together before I start my work day. At 9:00 a.m., I go into my home office, which

is clean and organized, and where I feel energized and productive. I have all the systems and technology I need to support

me in my business. I have full-time administrative and marketing assistants who are passionate about the business. At

9:30, I have my first training telecall, teaching others how to be successful …..

Keep going and identify every aspect of your ideal work day. Then do an ideal personal day.

Everything I've Ever Wanted:

Many of us have seen the movie The Bucket List or read the book 1000 Places to See Before You Die. So what is your bucket

list? What do you want to do before you die? What places do you want to visit and what feats do you want to accomplish?

Who do you want to meet?

Take some time to write down an exhaustive list of the things you want to see and do before you “kick the bucket.”

Remember, no limiting beliefs allowed. Just big dreams! And keep adding to it as you think of new things you want to do.

Be sure to keep this handy and refer to it often. And one day 20 years from now, you will look back to discover many have

been accomplished!

 What Matters Most?

 A vision without purpose will not spark you into action. Therefore, when creating your plan it is important to tap into

what truly matters to you and brings meaning to your life. If your vision is not fueled by your purpose, you will not have

the “stick-to-it-ive-ness” to keep going when you encounter obstacles and setbacks.

Here are some questions to help you determine what matters to you most:

•  What am I doing when I feel happiest and most satisfied?

•  If I could do anything or be anything, without restrictions or limitations, what would I be?

•  If money was no object, how would I spend my time?

•  What really gets me excited?

•  What really fires me up?

•  What charities, causes or social issues matter most to me?

•  What is my own uniquely personal song to sing?

The Love Fest:

Take some time to reflect on what makes you uniquely you; what it is that you are good at, and what makes you happiest.

 Ask yourself these questions:

•  Who am I?

•  What am I good at?

•  What are my strengths?

•  What do I love?

•  What makes me uniquely me?

Focus ONLY on the positive things for this exercise. This is a Love Fest, so no negativity allowed!

When doing these exercises, do not get bogged down with feeling that your answers have to be perfect. Just by working

through these activities, you are already making progress, and it will become easier. Too many people let themselves get

paralyzed by thinking that they have to get it “right.”

There is no right. There is just and your dreams, finally being put on paper.

 After you have completed this process, you will have many revelations and ideas on the topics you were exploring. Some may

be a surprise; revelations that seemed to come from nowhere. Do not let this overwhelm you. Just sit with it, and give

yourself time to absorb and reflect upon your newfound discoveries.

Step 2: Set a Plan

Ok, so now you have a much clearer picture of what you want in your life, what matters most, and where you would like to

be. Congratulations, you’ve done some excellent work! Now let’s map out a path to follow so you may achieve your vision.

Next, we will help you get into action to make it real.

Remember life is a marathon, not a drag race. Don’t create additional pressures by pushing yourself to accomplish too much,

too soon. This is supposed to be fun! This is about you pursuing the most important things in your life. So take it easy and

pick a couple of areas that you want to go after first. Manifest those, and then come back to your list and pick a couple of 

more goals to achieve. Take it step by step and you will get there more quickly and easily.

 What’s most important?

When you did your visioning process, you wrote down many thoughts and ideas. Some are long-term, and some you can begin

to focus on immediately. Some were big stretches, while others just may require some simple changes. It's time to sift

through all of your discoveries and determine what’s most important.

 What do I want to work on now? 

There is not enough time in the day to work on everything that you want all at once; you will need to prioritize. What

changes can you make immediately? And what action steps can you take now towards the visions that will take longer to

achieve?

For instance, you may decide to convert the spare bedroom to an office, get into a size 8 by summer, and travel to Italy next

spring. The first priority is an immediate change. The second will be a series of changes over time, which you can start now.

 And the third is a longer-term vision that is just as much a priority, but will involve more preliminary steps such as

researching trip options and setting up a savings plan.

 What are my first steps? 

 After you have answered #1 and #2, the next step is to determine what’s first. For the things you want to pursue now, write

down what you will do and when, e.g., I will clear the clutter from the spare bedroom this weekend, join a gym by Friday and

buy a travel guide to Italy by the end of the month. When you complete these action steps, write more and complete those!

Put it in writing:

Write down your vision and the goals that will support you to accomplish that vision. Carry them with you for constantreview and inspiration. Post your goals everywhere so you are always reminded of them. Put them on your bathroom

mirror, the steering wheel of your car, your daily scheduler, the refrigerator, your bedside table. Be creative and have fun.

Phrase goals in the present:

Phrase all goals in the present tense, as if you have already achieved them. “I have £$50,000 in my savings account in

 August” as opposed to “I will have £$50,000 in my savings account in August,” or “I want to have £$50,000…”

 Avoid negative words and images:

Say “I am fit; healthy and energized;” instead of saying “I will not be fat and tired anymore!” Instead of “I am not in debt,”

say “I have an abundance of money to pay all my expenses.”

Be specific:

 Visualize and speak your goals in clear terms. Say things like “I weigh 130 lbs by exercising 5 times per week and eating a

healthy diet of 1800 calories of lean protein, fruits & vegetables” instead of “I will lose weight this year.”

Set measurable checkmarks:

Plan for some places along the path to check in and see how you are doing. Be aware of your progress and note whether

you need to increase your efforts or make adjustments along the way to stay on schedule.

Be realistic:

The goal must be achievable or it will only lead to frustration and failure. For instance, if you make £$50,000 per year,

and your expenses total £$4,000 per month, it is unlikely you will achieve a goal of saving £$500,000 this year without a

plan for making additional income.

Review, re-evaluate and re-write:

 After a while, you will begin to see whether your plan is taking you to where you want to go. Adjust your plan along the way

based on your experience – this is NOT the same as quitting or giving up on your original goal; it is the crucial step of “fine-

tuning”!

Step 3: Take Action

Often the first action step is the hardest one. This is when fear, doubt and worry can take over. But no matter what, just get

started. Do not wait for the “perfect” time as there is no perfect time. Make your first steps small so that you can get into the

habit of action and get some successes under your belt.

Once you have begun this exciting journey toward your goals, don’t let anything impede your progress or have you quit.

Remain committed to the process. Action is habitual, so continuing to press forward will help you maintain your momentum.

Expect obstacles. These temporary setbacks can be overcome with dedicated commitment. But without preparation,

unexpected roadblocks can bog you down or lead you to quit. Actually, there is a great learning experience in the obstacles if 

we look for it.

During this process check in with important sources like family, friends or your coach to help you stay the course. Let them

know ahead of time where you might need their support.

Step 4: Ask, Believe and Receive! 

Remember what has been revealed to us all through the truths found within the Universal Law of Attraction and The Secret:

whatever we focus on with our thoughts, beliefs and attention will be drawn to our lives and manifested into reality. Even

biblical principles have taught that “As we think, so we are.”

 Ask: Your thoughts and feelings are actual energies that are projected onto others, and into the universe. We need to be

aware of, and in control of, the energies that we project. What we ask for is what we will get, even if we are unaware of what

we have been subconsciously asking for. If we want something different, we must exert our will and re-focus our attention.

We need to identify what we want, ask for that, and stop projecting our thoughts about what we don’t want.

Believe: In order to get to the root of our core beliefs, we need to dig deeper. In fact, as much as 90% of our beliefs are

hidden away in our subconscious mind. When you look honestly at how you have internalized your life's experiences – your

failures and successes – you will likely discover some self-limiting beliefs. And as long as those are in place, you will block

anything different from coming true. You need to develop a new set of positive and affirming beliefs, and repeat them in your

mind until you whole-heartedly believe with all your mind, heart, and soul that the positive changes you see for yourself can

be true.

Receive: Once you truly believe in your ability to achieve your vision, you can then allow it to become your reality. This is a

critical component for achieving your vision. We have to first ask, then believe that it can be true, and finally receive it.

 You can do this by visualizing your dreams as if they are a reality. Regularly visualize yourself living out your desires.

Experience this reality with all of your senses – taste, touch, sound, sight, smell. This process will help you to “receive” what

it is you have set out to accomplish.

 And that brings us “full circle,” back to the beginning once again, to the power of the visioning process. It’s never complete to

the point where you declare, “OK, I’m now officially finished achieving everything in my life!” Instead, the visioning process is

more like peeling an onion - you continue to work your way through one layer after another, getting closer and closer to the

unlimited possibilities that lie within you.

Each time that you successfully get to the next layer, you simply begin the process again to go deeper toward creating the life

you’ve always wanted. It’s not about arriving at the final destination; it’s about learning, growing and enjoying the ride!

Be blessed in your purpose, it’s all about the vision!
