Vision Boards That Work: The Science Behind Designing Your Dream LifeLet’s get one thing straight—this is not some glitter-and-glue dream journal situation.
If you’ve ever rolled your eyes at the idea of vision boards…
You’re gonna want to hit play on this one.
This episode of The 5% Club Podcast breaks down how to reprogram your brain using proven neuroscience and psychology—and how to use vision boards the right way to start achieving next-level results.
We’re talking about identity, strategy, and the sneaky little system in your brain that decides what you notice—and what you don’t.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode
• Why 90% of your thoughts are just repeats from yesterday—and how to change that
• How to train your brain to notice the right opportunities (hello, promotions and dream roles 
)
• Why belief in your success before it happens isn’t fluffy—it’s science
• How Beyoncé used an alter ego to become Sasha Fierce (and how you can do the same)
• What a vision board has in common with a fortune cookie (and why that matters)

Key Insights & Takeaways
1. Your brain filters 11 million bits of info per second—but only shows you what it thinks matters.
This is why you’re not seeing the opportunities. It’s not that they don’t exist—it’s that you haven’t trained your brain to notice them yet. Your vision board helps reset your filters.
2. Identity drives behavior.
If you think of yourself as “a hot mess who works hard,” your actions will match that. Want to be a calm, wealthy, fit executive? Start by shifting your self-concept—and I’ll show you how.
3. Vision boards are just visual instructions for your brain.
Use images and words that reflect who you already are and who you’re becoming. Add photos of things you already have to trick your brain into expecting more of the same.
