What should go in the Center of Your Vision Board for 2012 ? The Vision Board book author Joyce Schwarz tells you in this LA radio interview

What should you place in the center of your Vision Board? Bestselling author Joyce Schwarz, The Vision Board who is also a top business motivational speaker tells you the answer in this radio interview which has now been posted on Youtube.

In the video above, The Vision Board book author Joyce Schwarz explains what to put at the center of your Vision Board for 2012.

NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS

Why do only 1` in 4 people keep thier New Year's Resolutions? One of the ways you can be part of that lucky 25 percent who do is to add images and power words to remind yourself of the WHY of your intentions, explains Schwarz. 

WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT? For example if you want to lose weight this year -- think of it as releasing the weight (if you lose it --you might fine it again -- semantics are important says Schwarz. Plus see yourself in your mind's eye or picture it on a visoin board by showing a scale that tells you the reason why instead of your weight i.e. to be healthy, to show love to myself, to be proud, to be strong. 

Living is active and you want to get into action as soon as possible so be sure to use verbs instead of nouns in your declarations for the New Year.

FIVE TIPS FOR MAKING YOUR NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS WORK: 

1) VISION IT ! Spend some time with your team execs and staff
visioning your success. 

2) TALK THE WALK AND WALK THE TALK do you dream of being
ranked #1 in your field then tout something that you are #1
at already -- maybe customer service maybe one -to-one CRM
Then promo that on your website. Make a pledge to your
clients that you are their #1 resource.

3) IMMERSE YOURSELF & TEAM INTO THE VISION 
-- yes, immerse yourself into your resolution. Want to speak
at more conferences. Then start listing yourself as a
speaker on your corporate website, register for National
Speakers Association or at least join Toastmasters.

4) USE POSITIVE SELF TALK: cut out the negatives Be as specific
as possible with your own self-talk and also what you say
to others on your team. Congratulate them for every tiny
step they make and acknowledge that you are NOW on the right
path to realizing that resolution you missed in '10.

5)CREATE A VISION BOARD FOR JUST ONE OF YOUR RESOLUTIONS:
Focus closely on that one goal. Say it's to get a social
media program launched, Start by registering a twitter name,
getting your company page up on facebook and Linked in and
then delegate to team members to populate those three social
media outreach groups. Once you have a base you can delve
into a fancy new 2011 campaign. But if you have no followers
it's tough to convince thousands of others to join you in
2011. A base will give you a launching pad.

6) BE INSPIRED BY QUOTES FROM ROLE MODELS: Maya Angelou, the famous
poet and a friend of Oprah's says, "Tell life" I am with
you kid" and take it by the lapels and just GO!

BABY BOOMERS AHEAD OF THE GAME IN LAUNCHING NEW START-UPS SAYS CAREER EXPERT AND CEO STARTUP ADVISOR JOYCE SCHWARZ IN KFWB LOS ANGELES RADIO INTERVIEW

In a recent interview on KFWB NEWS RADIO Los Angeles, Career Expert Joyce Schwarz talks about how baby boomers are ahead of the game now in launching new start-up businesses that will fuel the economy as we head into 2012 and beyond. 

  Hear Career Expert and Startup Advisor, Joyce Schwarz founder www.startup50plus.com on KFWB radio news talk 980 explaining why boomers are driving the next generation of startup businesses in the USA & beyond. 

BOOMING STARTUP BUSINESSES

Younger entrepreneurs may hog the spotlight, but baby boomers are becoming business owners faster than anyone. Schwarz who is also the bestselling author of six books including SUCCESSFUL RECAREERING WHEN JUST ANOTHER JOB IS NOT ENOUGH, 

 BOOMERS LAUNCHING BUSINESSES FASTER THAN ANY OTHER AGE GROUP
From 2007 to 2008--the latest data available--new businesses launched by 55- to 64-year-olds grew 16 percent, faster than any other group, according to the Kaufman Foundation, a nonprofit group that studies U.S. business startups. Schwarz explains that , "All told, boomers in that age group started approximately 10,000 new businesses a month."

What's fascinating, Schwarz notes is that the trend is so strong that the Kauffman Foundation predicts a sustained  not in spite of the country's aging workforce, but because of it.

With 10,000 people retiring in the USA every day now for the next 19 years (yes, 10,000 new retirees daily) and $500 million in retirement funds turning over annually, Schwarz sees opportuniteis for what she terms the mix of "Gray Hairs and Peach Fuzz". 

"You're never too young and you can't be too old to start your own business," assures author and start-up advisor Schwarz. She knows what she''s talking about because in the past decade or so, her firm JCOM www.joycecom.com has advised more than 75 early stage venture funded businesses in go-to-market strategies  ranging from emusic.com to Primesense.com (the guts of Xbox kinect. 

RECRAFT CAREERS 

The real opportunity explains Schwarz is in focusing in on your strengths, talents and personality type no matter what your age. "After all you're not starting over, you're starting better" Schwarz notes.

For some people may prefer to just re-craft their current career. One example Schwarz gives is an accountant for a Big TEN  consulting firm who retired early and is now putting those number skills together with a lifelong passion for Opera by doing development and fund raising for a national nonprofit Opera association. 

 OTHER TIPS FOR CHANGING CAREERS & GETTING EXPERIENCE BEFORE STARTING YOUR OWN BUSINESS: 

Schwarz, the Career Expert and author who launched AOL's WORKPLACE OF THE FUTURE FORUM says that you

 don't have ot invest in an expensive franchise or commit to a law degree program or go back to a  pricey trade school to do that.

You can follow these three tips

1) GET ON THE JOB TRAINING:  Love to cook but no formal training-- consider tying up with a caterer in your area and get in the kitchen training before you head to Culinary School -- that's how Martha Stewart got started and changed form stockbroker to, well, Martha Stewart.

2) Volunteering is a great way to test a new career and even tiptoe into your own business-- want to go from banker to starting your own remodeling houses  business. Get some on-the-job experience seeign what it takes to build a houe by joining Habitat for Humanity on the weekends Who knows you may meet your next business partner as you hammer out a new career or even design a new business. 

3) FREELANCE OR TEMP & BUILD SWEAT EQUITY:

Rather then getting into long term debt by borrowing $50K to go to get an MBA at age 40 -- consider working freelance using your computer skills at a new start-up coompany working nights and weekends while you transition out of yoru day job.

Many offer sweat equity shares. Who knows you may end up starting your own business it's never too late and you don't need an adevance degree to do that. In fact baby boomers in the 55-64 age group start 10,000 new businesses a month according to the Kauffman foundation.

HOW TO MAKE A GENEROSITREE (tm) FOR CHRISTMAS EVENTS from Joyce Schwarz, bestselling author THE VISION BOARD

It's starting to look a lot like Christmas but if you didn't get a tree yet or yes, can't really afford the expense OR just want another decoration to share with holiday guests and family a GENEROSITREE is perfect says Joyce Schwarz, bestselling author THE VISION BOARD and creator of the GRABS SUCCESS FORMULA.

See above a sample of a GENEROSITREE(tm) from Joyce Schwarz, bestselling author of THE VISION BOARD book. Use sticky notes to create the triangle tree design or use a Star format if you wish. Add strong, powrful one syllable words with press on lettering or print out some fun computer typestyle. You can create a virtual tree online with virtual sticky notes or a real one to display on a wall. Use the virtual one as a screensaver or as mobile wallpaper. Just remember it all starts with Generosity reminds Joyce Schwarz. For more info email: thevisionboard@aol.com 

"It all starts with Gratitude and of course comes full circle with sharing. A GENEROSITREE (tm) is a perfect addition to a home, office or even a public space like an apartment building lobby or recreation center or church hall or even your town't public square" explains Schwarz. 

HOW TO MAKE A GENEROSITREE (TM)  

Here's a picture of a very simple Generositree we made online using virtual sticky notes and adding one word holiday greetings in a fun typestyle. Of course you can make yours using real sticky notes and adding decorations or even a chain of good wishes made by your children or kids in the neighborhood. 

1) START BY MAKING AN OUTLINE OF A SIMPLE TRIANGLE SHAPED TREE on a large posterboard or with erasable market on a wall. 

2) GET AN ASSORTMENT OF STICKY NOTES in one color (we used standard yellow) but they come in all kinds of colors too. Don't have sticky notes-- cut up white squares and let kids color them green or red or yellow. Or use kraft paper in colors.

3) PRINT IN LARGE LETTERS so that the words can be seen across the room some fun Holiday wishes like: HAPPY, LAUGH, LIVE, LOVE, LIFE etc. We used a colorful Hollywood lights typestyle but you can use press on letters or marker to print your wishes.

4) ARRANGE IN A TRIANGLE with a point on the top and a trunk to make a tree trunk too. 

5) WE like to arrange the tree in advance and then have people add decorations or stickers or glitter or ribbons from gifts to the tree to decorate even more. 

6) Having a holiday event-- you can end the affair by giving people their choice of a sticker to go home with. They can add it to their holiday apparel or put it on a handbag or stick it on an index card you have to give them. 

7) TO ADD A CHAIN OF GOOD WISHES -- make strips of any kind of paper even wrapping paper and have kids and family members write good wishes on the strips and then glue into circles and make a paper chain and then pin it or glue or tape it onto your GENEROSITREE(tm) 

This works for any event-- birthday, party, anniversary or yes, even New Year's Eve. For New Year's be sure to add some red coloring so that you're adding an Asian touch of good fortune to your tree.

WANT TO USE THIS AS A CHARITY FUND RAISER? use envelopes instead of sticky notes and have people put a donation in an envelope of $1.00 or $10 or even a $100 cash or gift cards. Then you can gather the total and drop or send to your favorite charity-- what a wonderful way to celebrate the upcoming new year with GENEROSITY of course!

Bestselling author of THE VISION BOARD book Gives Courtney Love's Vision Board a 2012 MAKEOVER To Make it More Powerful

December 16, 2011

COURTNEY LOVE VISION BOARD GETS A MAKEOVER BY BESTSELLING AUTHOR THE VISION bOARD bOOK JOYCE SCHWARZ

BY JOYCE SCHWARZ blogging atwww.hollywood2020.net. More and more celebrities are coming out with their Vision Boards (collages of visuals that serve as inspirational maps for living your best possible life and include defining images, power words, affirmations and more according to the bestselling book THE VISION BOARD by Joyce Schwarz from Harper Collins Publishing) See a free chapter at: http://tinyurl.com/vbbookamazon  (click on see inside).

CELEBS LOVE VISION BOARDS

At the Vision Board Institute, www.visionboardinstitute.comwe know the names of dozens and dozens of celebs who believe in Vision Boards and use them to co-create their lives, careers and the best in their relationships. Among the celebrities we've featured before are Christina Aguilara, Marisa Petroro, NBC's Deal or No Deal Briefcase model and actress now appearing in DEXTER on SHOWTIME and Aras Baskaskas, the CBS Winner of SURVIVOR.

That's why we were so interested when we spotted a version of Celebrity Courtney Love's Vision Board for 2012 at jezebel.com. Here's a picture of her board (really just a white board with lettering on it) so it's more like Manifesto or a combo Vision-Mission Statement.

Here's an overview of Celebrity Courtney Love's 2012 Vision Board/White board that includes a mission statement and her top 4 goals for 2012 along with some affirmations. Bestselling author of THE VISION BOARD BOOK, Joyce Schwarz comments, "Courtney's Vision for 2012 would be 1000 percent stronger and more vivid by adding defining images - pictures that jump out at her and guide her like GPS signs to keep on track. www.hollywood2020.net

Over at the Vision Board Institute, www.visionboardinstitute.com bestselling author Joyce Schwsarz zoomed in closer on Courtney Love's White Board which is serving as her Vision Board for 2012 and found these four top goals including: 1) Earn $25 Milliion 2) Purchase two properties, 3) Get a great lawyer and 4) get justice for the governance and 4) Get a great movie role. Also on the board but not totally visible is her dream of OSCAR 2013.

AFFIRMATIONS: All of that is accented postively by her great affirmations which are very stron accoding to Vision Board author Schwarz -- she really gets it -- you can see that she is a veteran in visioning as she writes, " I AM FUN, I AM JOY, I AM DETERMINATION, I AM LOVING -- she's not wishy washy and saying I want to be loved etc or am loving more Love is coming to me etc. She takes the personal responsibility and assumes that the future is already in progress which it is by saying I AM DETERMINATION. So her affirmations are top notch.

Above,See Courtney Love's strong affirmations from her Vision Board that would be even more effective if they were pictured with defining images of the goals for her 2013 year says Joyce Schwarz, author of the bestselling book THE VISION BOARD, Harper Collins Publishing,www.visionboardinstitute.com

MAKEOVER OF COURTNEY LOVE'S VISION BOARD because we know how busy Courtney is, Joyce Schwarz founder of the Vision Board Institute did a complimentary makeover for Courtney for her vision board for 2012. Schwarz talks about what she did to turn Courtney's dreams and wishes into true visions for 2012 below the new picture of the MAKEOVER VISION BOARD:

To make celebrity Courtney Love's simple white board with wishes and dreams and goals come to live, The Vision Board book author Joyce Schwarz did the following in creating a strong 4-color Vision Board that looks like what else -- a large flat screen so appropriate for a celebrity. Here are the steps that Joyce Schwarz took to make Courtney Love's Vision Board stronger:

1. Placed a picture of Courtney in the Center of the Vision Board with a Star around her -- so she'd stand out and realize she is a star no matter what the media says. "Everyone should do this explains, author Schwarz because a) it helps you OWN your vision board and b) you are immersed virtually into your vision! THIS IS A BIG difference from the way most people simply cut and paste pictures onto poster boards and only really design collages.

2) Search for what Schwarz calls "DEFINING IMAGES" pictures that will jump out and strike Courtney's eye when she sees them throughout the day and night. Schwarz explains that by focusing in on 6-8 strong images or photos, your mind's eye absorbs the power of the colors and design and integrates them into your psyche. Sure you can do an overview board with a hundred or so images but do that to get all that stuff off your mind so you can zero in and focus on 4 key visions or goals.

MULTIPLE STREAMS OF INCOME: In Courtney Love's makeover, Schwarz chose a $25 Million dollar bill to envision Courtney's goal of earning $25 Million in 2012.  Schwarz reminds Courtney and the rest of us that there's no need to put the word "EARN" in there because we're sure that Courtney would be thrilled to "WIN" the money or have it "given" to her.

 The Vision Board book author Joyce Schwsarz reminds you "Don't limit your financial goals/dreams to earning -- multiple streams of income are better then just one for all of us whether we're celebrities or not." Who knows maybe Courtney is able to barter a new house or property with a real estate company in turn for doing some commercials -- that already takes care of par to fone of her other dreams of buying two properties

ACADEMY AWARD: Since Courtney Love wrote on her white board the words "Oscar 2013", in doing Love's MADEOVER VISION BOARD, Joyce added the year 2013 and Courtney Love's name to the base of the Oscar and surrounded it with glitter and glam befitting Love's style. 

YOUR NAME IN LIGHTS?

 

If you're in the movie biz or watch TV chances are you've seen a film placard like this used by directors during production. In making over Courtney Love's Vision Board so it comes to life and isn't just a plain White Board with letter, Bestselling author Joyce Schwarz added Director sign like this but then personalized it with the phrase "STARRING COURTNEY LOVE" now we can't guarantee Courtney a "GREAT" movie that's up to her and the script but it sure is fun for her to see her name in lights!

HARD TO PICTURE GOALS? Some goals like Courtney Love's desire to find a great lawyer are often hard for people creating Visoin Boards to find pictures of or it seems to unglamorous so that they leave off these important GOALS or what Joyce Schwarz calls stepping stones to her vision. To picture the lawyer rather than choosing a picture of a famous law firm, Schwrz chose the dictionary excerpt about attorney. It's strong and it's a reminder that Courtney Love can find a lawyer that will be on her side in good and bad.

ADD YOUR AFFIRMATIONS -- although Schwarz explains that affirmations don't have to be affixed to your Vision Board they can be something you read off of an index card or have embedded in your mobile phone text messages, some affirmations like Courtney Love's are so powerful it's fun to put them in a sparkly Hollywood font and add them to the VISION BOARD. They provide a focus for your eye and they add glimmer and glam to the board.

ADD EMBELLISHMENTS -- to really add a POW! look to the Vision Board for Courtney Love, Schwarz topped it off with a dusting of shiny white stars, and swirls of color. Tasteful and fun (one of Courtney's affirmations) and of course COLORFUL which fits Courtney Love's personality.

ATTENTION OTHER CELEBRITIES: We hope that Courtney Love enjoys her Vision Board Makeover and we're delighted to do the same for any celebrity or VIP that tweets us @visionboard on twitter.com pending time availability.

Alia Rasheed Filmmaker Leads the Way To Hollywood For Country of Oman With Film SHATTERED

NEW FILMMAKERS IN OMAN LEADING THE WAY TO ESTABLISHING NEW CULTURE

OF THEATRICAL FILM PRODUCTION IN COUNTRY OF OMAN IN UAE

  Debut Film producer Alia Rasheed whose movie SHATTERED was featured recently in Tropfest 2011,  is leading an ambitious breed of movie makers establishing a new culture of film production in the country of Oman despite the fact that they are based more than 13620.6 Kilometers (8463.4 miles) from Hollywood. 

The challenge is a major one for Rasheed and the crew because as Wikipiedia reports the Cinema background of Oman is very small.

    Only  major Omani film Al-Boom (2006) that has been produced  to date and a few Bollywood movies that have been filmed partially in the area.

 TIME TO OPEN THE DOORS TO HOLLYWOOD....

"It's time to open the doors to Hollywood for the country of Oman," Rasheed explains. Oman as some of you may know is actually called the  Sultanate of Oman and is an Arab state in Southwest Asia on the southwest coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It is bordered by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to the northwest, Saudi Arabia to the west and Yemen to the southwest.

Ancient history buffs may know that the geographic area dates back to the stone age.   In November, 2010, the United Nationsl Development Programme (UNDP) Listed Oman as the most improved nationa over the last 40 years from among 135 countries worldwide.

BETTER KNOWN FOR SPORT THAN CREATIVE VENTURES...

 Yet, only 1 percent of the land in Oman is cultivated and the country today is better know for sport than for creative endeavors.

 ALIA RASHEED IS GAINING AWARENESS OF FILM AND THEATRICAL TALENT IN OMAN:

To gain awareness of the burgeoning creative talent in her area, Rasheed  set her sight on premiering SHATTERED her new short film at TropFest fall, 2011.

  Rasheed co-wrote a the film’s script and partnered with director Sami Jaffer to create a professional crew including cameraman, Eddie Juma, Make-up: Nisreen Mohammad Al-Balushi  music by Jassim Jaffer.

  Rasheed’s film SHATTERED focuses on the classic contrast of the old Oman and the new developed country. “In our movie, a woman is forced on a symbolic journey through a world where she has become a stranger”. Rasheed explains.

 NEW FILM = FASCINATING STORY OF JOURNEY OF CHANGING LANDSCAPES

It’s a fascinating story of how illness forces a woman on a journey through a rapidly changing landscape. In her weakened state, offers of help become threatening to her. Her self-judgement and insecurities of being a stranger in a strange land force her to move onward on her own and fending for herself just as she has since her husband’s death and her son’s relocated thousands of kilometers away from the family home.

 Specific to Oman and it’s culture, the project reflects of course, the universality of how age and time disrupt the basic tenets of family and the traditional roles of women around the globe. To shoot the drama on location, Rasheed’s team is using a Canon XL H1a and of course the project is digital.

 SHORT SHORT FILM LIMITED TO 7 MINUTES Featured at Tropfest 2011

Probably the most amazing part of Rasheed’s effort is that SHATTERED is what’s called a short, short film so when finished with editing and ready for screening at TropFest the film will be limited to 7 minutes. Now that’s maybe the biggest challenge of all – how to show the evolution of character in only 7 minutes.

The creative team led by Rasheed would be delighted to expand the project to theatrical length with the proper resources and feel that the exposure at TropFest  will clear the way for further opportunities for the whole crew.
