Key Talking Points

"Artists Soar - Vision Board"

• Creating Vision Boards for Success:

  • A vision board is a visual representation of goals, dreams, and aspirations.
  • It serves as a constant reminder of priorities and helps avoid distractions like FOMO or chasing unproductive "rabbits."
  • Vision boards can include both big dreams (e.g., a new studio, financial milestones) and smaller, actionable goals.

• How to Make and Use a Vision Board:

  • Vision boards can be physical (cut-out magazine clippings) or digital (created in tools like Canva, Photoshop, or Adobe Stock).
  • Include images, quotes, keywords, or even checks written out to yourself for specific goals.
  • Display your vision board prominently, such as on a desktop background or in a daily-use notebook, to maintain focus.

• Flexibility and Personalization:

  • Vision boards don’t need to follow rigid rules—make them work for your style.
  • Update boards with new ideas or achievements; some prefer transferring completed goals to a separate "achievement board" for celebration.
  • Consider creating multiple vision boards for different aspects of life, such as artwork, teaching, or personal development.

• Practical Applications for Artists and Businesses:

  • Vision boards can be used to plan large projects, like Stephanie’s idea to create a mural-style calendar showcasing monthly classes at Huntsville Art Supplies.
  • They can also reflect aesthetic goals for a space, like Stephanie’s vision for an elevated, boujee art supply store experience.

• Vision Board Workshops and Classes:

  • Artists Soar is hosting a vision board class as part of their business workshop series in 2025.
  • Workshops will guide participants in creating vision boards tailored to their goals and values, with downloadable resources for those unable to attend in person.

• Benefits of Vision Boards:

  • Provides clarity on goals and serves as a motivational tool.
  • Keeps focus on long-term objectives while allowing for dreaming and creativity.
  • Helps evaluate opportunities based on alignment with goals.
