What is a vision board workshop business
Ever been to a Tupperware party? You know where the host displayed the latest products and sold you on the benefits of each. And you bought just as many others at the party did. Have you hosted your own vision board party yet ? Like so many, did you find it addictive helping others achieve their goals?
Well,a vision board workshop business is like that. It’s starting a business where you hold parties to teach people the skills to create their own vision boards.
But it’s so much more than that. You’re encouraging people to transform lives using the medium of a vision board.
The process to start a vision board workshop business
Investing your time and money in a new business venture is a big deal. So you need to follow a few basic guidelines
To give yourself the best chance of success.
1. Know Your WHY

When you know your WHY,

You can endure any HOW.
In other words, what is your purpose in wanting to start a vision board business?
Maybe you want to use it to motivate and inspire people to:
- Create the life of their dreams
- Live life intentionally
- Focus on inviting daily joy into their lives
- Overcome the obstacles to a happy and fulfilled life
Once you know your WHY you can then proceed to investigate this as a proper business idea.

5. Lucrative Vision Board Business Ideas
A great way to turn a profit for your business is to turn your workshop into an experience.

- Get a celebrity guest speaker who is a vision boarder
- Invest in a great venue with awesome decor
- Set the mood with the right lighting and music
- Offer guests a free goodie bag and a glass of wine on entry
- Offer smart finger food as snacks
Workshop Sales
Offer specialized vision board products for sale at the venue.
Here are a few ideas to consider:
- Vision board kits
- Vision board planners
- Motivational Quote cards
- Affirmation cards
- Power word cut-outs
- Colorful Stickers
Other Ways to Make Money with Vision Boarding:

Vision Board Business Start Up Costs
These costs can be as extravagant or bare bones as you envision your business and your clients tastes. Personally, I’d start your first few with a home party or free venue. Provide poster boards, a stack of free/ used magazines, glue sticks or double sided tape and a variety of size and color markers. You can print out motivational quotes you create according to who your audience is. A party can cost you as little as $1-$2 per person.
Take all your profits and after you’ve paid yourself back re-invest into your business. Do this by purchasing supplies in bulk for a lower price. You can also start a ‘swag bag’ as Thank you gifts. Be sure any materials that you gift (and including poster board) have a business card or sticker with your contact information.
