You’ve made the vision board. You’ve said the affirmations. You’ve lit the candle.
But let’s be honest: if your money goals still feel vague, unreachable, or just kind of embarrassing to say out loud—You’re just not broadcasting a clear enough signal.
This isn’t about faking it. It’s about framing it.
Because here’s the truth: everything about you—your voice, your energy, your habits, even your vibe—is already telling the world who you are and what you’re available for.
In other words, your life is already a brand.
So let’s make sure it’s telling the truth—and attracting the right kind of attention. Especially from money.
Why Clarity Attracts (And Confusion Repels)
Your brain is a pattern-making machine. It’s scanning for shortcuts, labels, and cues all day long. That’s why brands work: they simplify decision-making.
You don’t reach for just any ketchup. You reach for the one you recognize.
The same thing applies to people. If you’re unclear about what you want, or how you want to live, other people—and yes, even opportunities—don’t know how to interact with you.
In neuroscience terms, you’re jamming up your RAS (Reticular Activating System), the filter that helps you spot what matters. You’re also sending mixed signals to others’ mirror neurons—the part of their brain that reads who you are and whether they want to connect with you.
Marketing works because it organizes desire into something others can recognize and respond to.
So does life.
Your Vision Board Is Talking. What’s It Saying?
Most people stop at the vision board. They treat it like a wish list to the universe. And then… nothing happens.
Why? Because it’s passive — A collage of things you like, not a message about who you are.
That’s the next step: turning your board from inspiration into identity.
Look at your vision board right now—or whatever form it takes: your Pinterest board, your phone photo roll, that folder you keep labeled “someday.”
Ask yourself: What are these images trying to tell me? About what I value? About what I want to be known for? About how I want to show up?
Let’s say your board has:
A photo of an ocean view from a laptop
A cozy home office
A group of laughing friends
A handwritten check with lots of zeros
A yoga mat and green smoothie
You could sum that up like this:
“I’m the kind of woman who makes money sharing wisdom from beautiful places—without burning out.”
That’s your personal brand message. That’s the energy you’re meant to lead with. And once you name it, you can start reinforcing it in everything you do.
A Quick Practice to Lock It In
This’ll take 10 minutes or less. Don’t overthink it.
Look at your current vision board (or any group of images that feels like you).
Choose 3–5 images that feel magnetic or exciting.
Ask: “What do these images say about who I am becoming?”
Write one sentence that ties them all together. Start with:
“I’m the kind of person who…”
“My life is about…”
“People come to me for…”
Say it out loud. Record yourself saying it. Play it back. Does it sound like you? If not, tweak it until it does.
Use this sentence everywhere: on your mirror, your lock screen, your planner, your journal, your email sign-off. Make it the headline of your life.
Here’s the key: repetition creates recognition. For your brain, For others, and, For the universe.
You’re not branding yourself—you’re reminding yourself.
Why This Works for Money (Not Just Confidence)
When you’re clear about who you are and what your life stands for, people start trusting you faster.
That includes clients, collaborators, and anyone who could bring opportunity your way. But more importantly, it includes you.
This practice gives your brain a shortcut. Instead of spinning every time you make a decision—what to say, what to post, what to charge—you’ve got a compass. A sentence that tells the truth about the future you’re already stepping into.
Money responds to clarity and confidence. Not desperation. Not confusion.
This isn’t about “fake it till you make it.”
It’s about naming it so you can live it.
So go ahead. Write your headline. Frame your life. And let the right people—and the right money—find you from there.
