Have you ever wondered if vision boards are just a fun craft project, or if they actually help you achieve your dreams?
In this episode, we move beyond the “woo-woo” and get into the practical reasons why a vision board is one of the most powerful tools for your career and life. If you have ever bought a specific car and suddenly started seeing it everywhere on the road, you already know how this works. It is about training your brain to notice the opportunities that matter.
I break down the critical difference between a “Goal Poster” (your checklist) and a “Vision Board” (your emotional anchor) and walk you through the exact steps to create one that pulls you toward your future.
In this episode, you will learn:
- The Science of Focus: How the Reticular Activating System works (and the “Red Mustang” example) to filter reality in your favor.
- Vision Board vs. Goal Poster: Why you need both in your office but why they serve two very different purposes.
- The 5 Essentials: The specific items to include on your board, from emotional images to symbols and affirmations.
- The Guardrails: 5 rules to follow to ensure your board is for you, not for Instagram.
- The Vision Statement: How to write a present-tense story for your life that helps you internalize your success before it happens.
Mentioned in this episode:
- Discovering Your Calling (Book)
- The concept of “Fearful Fred” vs. “Ready to Go Ruth”
Action Step: Once you listen, gather your supplies (magazines, stickers, photos) and block out time this week to build your board. If you feel brave, snap a photo and DM it to me. I would Love to cheer you on as you set the direction for 2026.

Sheri Miter is a serial entrepreneur. Her first business was selling painted rocks to neighbors when she was 7! This entrepreneurial spirit led her to many failures but also some huge successes, such as a Chimney Cleaning business with her husband Tom, a professional firefighter, and eventually a business as a Mary Kay sales director. While in Mary Kay, Sheri led her team to six-figure years multiple times, and YES, she drove the iconic pink Cadillac for part of her career!
Despite her success as a Sales Director in Mary Kay, Sheri found herself at a crossroads after 25 years. She began to question if this was the path she truly wanted for the next decade of her life. Even after achieving her best year, she felt a sense of weariness and asked herself, 'Is it ever going to be enough?' This internal struggle led her to a brave decision- to step away from her role as a Sales Director and embark on a new journey. This journey led her to become a Gallup Certified CliftonStrengths Coach. Today, Sheri has crafted a life she loves, assisting other highly successful women to discover their 'what’s next' career. She is passionate about working with women who have achieved success making the money, but are now eager to make an impact by unleashing their God-given strengths and embracing their true calling!
When Sheri isn’t busy with her clients or recording a new podcast, she cherishes her time with her grandkids and embarks on exciting adventures with her husband. Their escapades often include the beach, biking, or out boats. At the end of a fulfilling day, they savor the beauty of the sunset with a cocktail in hand, a testament to Sheri's belief in enjoying life's journey.
