How to Create a Vision Board that Actually Works


How come some people create a vision board that works and it seems to magically bring their goals to life, while others try to manifest their dream life with a board but don’t see any results?

The truth is, when a vision board is made with the right energy, clarity and intention, it becomes so much more than just a collage. It’s a tool that helps you align with your goals and actually bring them into your reality.

I’ve been using vision boards since 2007, and over the years I’ve manifested everything from dream holidays (including landing in Sydney on New Year’s Eve, exactly as pictured on my board!) to my dream car, my wonderful fiancé, my coaching business, and even the very ring I now wear on my finger.

And it’s not just me. Women from all over the world who’ve taken my Vision Board Mastery course have gone on to attract dream clients, dream jobs, and even dream partners.

So if you’ve ever wondered why vision boards sometimes don’t work, let me show you exactly how to create a vision board that truly does.

Why Vision Boards Work

Learning how to create a vision board properly is the first step to actually manifesting your goals. A vision board isn’t just pretty pictures—it’s a visual anchor for your subconscious mind. When you engage with it regularly, it helps you:

  • Focus on what you truly want

  • Feel the joy and excitement as if it’s already real

  • Shift your frequency to attract aligned opportunities

This is why, for example, I added a picture of a beach in Portugal to my vision board in January 2017. By May, my partner had booked a trip for us there—exactly that beach! He didn’t even know it was on my board. Moments like this remind me every time: vision boards do work.


Common Vision Board Mistakes

Most people don’t get the results they hope for because they:

  • Create from a place of desperation (“I need more money now”)

  • Add things that don’t really resonate, but “look good”

  • Look at their board with doubt or frustration

The key is to align your energy with the things you want to manifest and take small, consistent actions alongside it.


Real-Life Results

Here’s what some of my students have manifested after taking Vision Board Mastery:

💫 “I put a photo of the brand I wanted to do a photoshoot for, and I got the shoot—plus the models and the brand! Within a week, I also landed the exact office I had put on my board. Since then, I’ve been hired for multiple dream shoots and even bought the summer house I’d put on my board to use as my office!”Samantha Maddison, Make-Up Artist

💫 “After just three days of this course, I felt such clarity on what I actually want to do with my life. The process of creating my board helped massively—it’s simple, fun, and powerful!”Melissa

💫 “I became the second top seller in my team after adding it to my board. My energy totally shifted once I got clarity.”Anna


Vision Board Ideas

Rather than being vague, get REALLY SPECIFIC with your board. Here are some vision board ideas to help you manifest your dream life:

  • Dream clients or customers

  • Income milestones

  • Media coverage or collaborations

  • Business expansion (new office, studio, or team)

  • Lifestyle goals (travel, health, relationships)

  • Personal milestones or experiences

The more personal your board feels, the stronger the energy it radiates—and the faster things manifest.


Bonus Tips for Maximum Manifestation

Here are my top vision board tips to make your board truly powerful:

✔️ Use images that make you feel something, not just “look nice”
✔️ Add affirmations, numbers, or words that give your board extra energy
✔️ Place it somewhere you’ll see it daily
✔️ Pair with journaling, visualisation, or meditation

Bonus Tip: Use Canva to Visualise Your Financial Goals

If you want your vision board to feel extra high-vibe and professional, tools like Canva are amazing. You can:

  • Design mock-ups of invoices, payments, or savings goals to represent the income you want to attract.

  • Create visual representations of your dream bank balances or business earnings (for inspiration only, not real documents).

  • Add motivational graphics, affirmations, and numbers to really bring your goals to life.

The idea is to visualise abundance in a fun, creative way, keeping your manifestation practice powerful and completely legal.
