🔥 Excerpt
Vision boards aren’t magic. They’re a daily operating system for clarity, focus, and forward motion. Steve Gamlin breaks down how to connect goals to your values, build momentum one “click” at a time, and stop letting other people’s noise drain your trajectory.
⚡ TL;DR
Practical visualization, values-aligned goals, and one intentional step per day. No genie, no gimmicks—just disciplined execution that compounds.
📄 Show Notes
I brought Steve Gamlin on because I’m allergic to vague promises and motivational smoke. Steve’s the rare “vision board guy” who doesn’t sell fantasies—he builds discipline. We dig into visualization as an action sport: defining outcomes across life domains, aligning them with values, and taking one intentional step every day. No “set it and forget it.” Just clarity, momentum, and measurable progress.
We get into why your why is fuel (not theater), how to keep goals from being hijacked by ego or other people’s expectations, and why protecting your energy is a strategic decision. Steve walks through his 10-step Vision Board Mastery framework (you don’t touch pictures until step seven) and the daily practices that turn a wall board into a scoreboard.
✅ Key Takeaways
- Vision boards are execution tools, not wish lists.
- Your why is fuel—emotionally connected, not performative.
- Do the inner work first; images come after alignment.
- Momentum > motivation: one step, every day.
- Protect your energy; prune one-way relationships.
- Purpose beats ego; status without character is brittle.
- Relationships compound through small, consistent actions.
