As I mentioned in my last article “Think about your future” – the more vivid and compelling you can paint your vision of your ideal future – the greater your chances of achieving it.

Before creating your online personal brand, it is well worth investing time to build your vision first.

Step 1 – Answer the questions posed in the last article

Step 2 – Create a visual representation of your ideal future

Step 3 – Look at your vision, and emotionally connect it every day

In the past I would cut out images from magazines, create collages, and strategically post these on walls around the house in places where I would see them often – next to my wardrobe mirror, next to my bathroom mirror etc.

These collages include images of: my dream car, my dream home, dream holiday destinations and health spas, inspirational physiques, inspirational quotes, awards I want to win, images that represent success and the type of work I want to be doing – pictures of me at my happiest.

These days, I am happy to report that parts of my personal vision have come to fruition. I split my time living between New Zealand, Canada and the USA and now keep everything digital and portable. For example, my laptop screensaver, desktop background, IPOD and  PDA all have a digital collage of my vision for the future. For good measure I also keep a one page laminated version that travels in my luggage as a back-up.

What are you going to do to bring your vision to life?
