The Making of iPhone App – Vision Board!

Posted by admin on Jul 24, 2009 in happiness, health, wealth | 7 comments

After the amazing and truly unexpected success of Gratitude Journal, I crafted another app with the intention to improve peoples’ lives — Vision Board Deluxe (iTunes link). It is such a sweet relief to finally have this little darling out in the world!

See, it took Apple a month to approve Vision Board. First a rejection, then a resubmission, and a lot of waiting and wondering in between.

In the mean time, I was flooded with lovely messages from folks itching to get their hands on this little gem, wondering when it will be available. And rightly so. I’ve had the luxury of using it daily for over a month and let me tell you, it’s powerful stuff.

I created vision boards before. Basically you go through magazines and cut out pictures that scream “I want that to be my life!” and paste them to a big tag board. You hang it someplace where you will see it daily so you attract those things in your life. That last bit is the clincher. Not quite matching with my decor, my vision boards usually ended up in the closet losing their effect.

That’s where the Vision Board app is so amazing. I have it with me all the time. If I’m bored in a meeting, waiting at the airport, or for my laptop to boot up, I flip through my Vision Board app. But most importantly I make sure I look at it every night before I go to sleep.

Too often we go to bed with our minds filled with negative thoughts from the day’s drama or tomorrow’s worries. Not only does it damage our sleep, but we’re still emanating negative energies the entire time we’re fast asleep. According to quantum physics and the law of attraction, these energies grow and attract more of the same in our lives. Instead, I recap the goodness from the day in my Gratitude Journal followed by dreaming about the future with my Vision Board. I go to sleep feeling positive and good and continue to give off those vibes all night long.

As a result, my life has shifted so quickly this past month. Something small like a note saying “Meet creative and inspirational women” manifests well over 150 of them one week later! An image of my ideal career leads to a phone call with someone who can open doors. Of course, it’s not the image that got me there, but looking at it, believing it, closing my eyes and feeling what it’s like to have it, and then acting on it.

Creating another iPhone app was a lot smoother the second time around. I used the same formula outlined in my book “Inside Secrets to an iPhone App” and the costs were pretty much on par with Gratitude Journal. Although I gave my superstar developer David Loewental a small bonus just because it is such a charm to work with him.

I had the amazing Scott Jackson create the genie icon which he whipped together on just one go. Impressive, no? All the other design work I did myself.

I have the mix of an amazing team that are not only unbelievably talented, but super cool too. Decisions are made in a second. Honest opinions shared respectfully. And everyone strives to have their very best to come through. It’s been so rewarding to work with such deep talent.

Best of all, all three of us have the same intention — to create something that improves the world, puts out good vibes and creates peace in others’ lives.

If you don’t have an iPhone or iPod Touch, I highly recommend Jennifer Lee’s Unfolding Your Life Vision Kit. It’s gorgeous and portable as well!

Visualization works. Athletes use it, performers, politicians …you name it. It’s a little secret weapon of very successful people. The key to attracting the life you want is to see it, really feel what it’s like to have it, then believe with all your heart that it will come. It might not be in the form your mind thought it would be, but you will attract what you put out in the world. So start collecting those pictures and put then on a tag board, in your iPhone app, or Jennifer’s Vision Kit. Give thanks, vision your future, live life to the fullest.

ps: I promised David I would share him with the world. This is really hard to do given I did this with my last developers and they got so popular I couldn’t afford them in the end. But David promises he’ll always be my friend even when he’s super successful.
