Vision Boards (or Dream Boards) are popular with a wide variety of demographics and have been endorsed by numerous celebrities including Oprah. Group workshops and classes on developing dream boards are also popular. Traditionally, vision boards are collaged from aspirational magazine images that reflect the creator’s goals. You could encourage readers to collage and stick images onto it or draw in their visions. As these boards are intended to help the creator visualize a better life for themselves, they tend to be popular with entrepreneurs, high achievers and people interested in self-improvement. They are especially popular with people who follow ‘Law of Attraction’ philosophy (also known as The Secret or Manifesting). There are many ways to use vision boards in your book. A simple option is to have a book full of vision boards for people to draw in (maybe 52, one for each week of the year). A better option may be to include it in a planner, for example by including a vision board at the start of each month or week or to mix it with journal pages/ Vision boards can also be tailored and customized to specific events or demographics, particularly for people who are going through transitions in life. For example pregnant women (or expectant fathers) may visualize a new life with their baby. People going through a divorce may look forward to better times ahead, or people may want to visualize beating an illness or addiction. You could even niche further, for example teens may want to visualize a special event, like a sports match, dance recital or big social event. We encourage you to design your own vision board frameworks and have fun with the concept!
