LET'S GET STARTED… Main Message: This week I want to talk to you about vision boards. Yes, for those of you who remember, we did talk about them in one of our Friday's Fast Five installments a few weeks ago but I wanted to talk about them again for two reasons.

Vision boards are not new, but the idea of making a vision board has gained some serious popularity lately. With the dramatic upswing in success and mindset related teaching online and the explosion of "coaching" sweeping the wor
