As a little girl I had big dreams. Mostly because I was a voracious reader very early, and wanted to conquer all the places I read in my books. I knew I wanted to travel, wear a suit, and make big decisions. All of that came from a book! My young mind at the time could only dream what she could read and see.
As a Woman, I now see how those big dreams now manifest in vision. I have a vision for my family, my career, even the next recipe! I apply visioning tools to my daily life so it becomes intentional.

What is Your Process?
Every time I start a new bullet journal I migrate pages from my old journal to the new. It’s a lengthy process, but incredibly valuable to me. While migrating this season, I began to create my career page which was the inspiration for this post. If we don’t have a vision for our careers, we begin to:
- Adopt others ideas of what our career should be.
- Strive for goals we truly didn’t set
- Lose focus on what matters (time, flexibility, or even ability to pursue passions)
Psssss…. if you are interested in better understanding what Bullet Journaling is, take a peek at the post I wrote outlining a few tips and tools to get you started.
One staple in my bullet journal is the Career Vision Page. I complete this grid every 3 months checking in with myself are we currently well placed and positioned for future vision. Below are the components I use to build the page:
| Block | Description | Examples |
| Quote | I choose a quote that inspires me in this period of my career. What accurately describes my vision | “He doesn’t give the vision without the provision “ “A Queen is not afraid to fail, that’s merely a stepping stone”. |
| Goal | This is not “a new job”. This is a micro-step toward achieving an end result | Revamp my resume, take a library class on computer software (word, excel, ect…), get a Mentor, Join a Board, Achieve a new certification |
| Actions (3) | What small action will I take toward this goal. | Watch a masterclass, complete the enrollment for a certification, or even send an email requesting time with my Leader to discuss my goals. |
| Reflection | What is the purpose of these goals and actions? Make declarations here! | “I want to become a Leader in my field known for connecting health and wellness’ OR “I would like to make a bit more money for a bigger apartment” |
| Materials Needed | What do I need to invest in to make this happen? | A new planner, a watch, a computer, babysitting after hours so I can do homework, ect… |
Here’s how the visual looks when I set it up in my bullet journal:
There are a TON of tools you can use to do a career vision session for yourself. I just ask you choose one and make a commitment to yourself to actually complete it.
Remember, YOU are the only person that has to live YOUR life. No one else can, or should tell you how to live it.
Happy visioning!
Be well,
