Early one beautiful Tuesday morning in May

     I was sitting in the study of my new home, surrounded by still-sealed boxes, catching up on my e-mail. My six-year-old son Keenan sat on a carton near the door of the room, swinging his legs and banging them against a box. I said, "Honey, I'm trying to get something done here, do you mind not banging your legs like that? It's kind of distracting."

"What's in the box, dad?" he said, as he continued banging his legs.

I peered at the magic marker scrawl on the box. "Those are my vision boards, from Indiana, remember Indiana?" Keenan had been a toddler when I had packed those boxes away.

"What's a vision board?"

I explained, as simply as I could, that this was something I made out of pictures of things I wanted to acquire or achieve in my business or in my life.

"Why do you do that?"

I was tempted to say, "Just because," so we could close the conversation and I could get back to my e-mail, but one glance at Keenan, who was obviously having a great time just hanging out in this exciting new home, made me change my mind.

As a kid, I'd promised myself that when I was old enough (and, hopefully, mature enough) to have kids of my own, I would never say, "Just because." So I slit open the packing tape, opened the carton and pulled out the first vision board. There was a picture of that Mercedes I'd wanted back then, which had since been purchased, driven, enjoyed, and sold. There was an image of a nice wrist watch, and next to it, a pair of alligator shoes. I gazed at the pictures for a moment, reminiscing, and then pulled out the second board—and we were staring a picture of a huge, stunning, gorgeous house.

My first thought was, "Hey, how did this get in here?" Somehow, a real estate brochure must have fallen into the box we were getting ready to move . . . but no, how was that possible? The box had been sealed for years! I stared at the house in the picture. This was no brochure. The picture was glued to the board; it was part of the board.

And I started to cry.

There, on my vision board, was a picture I'd clipped from an old copy of Dream Homes magazine five years earlier in Indiana. It was a unique house, with 188 windows, 320 orange trees, two lemon trees and a slew of other unique features. There was no mistaking it. It was a picture of the house that the two of us were sitting in at that very moment. Not like it. It was this house.

When I'd cut it out of that magazine, I hadn't even known where it was located or how much it cost. It was just a picture in a magazine.

My mind raced. What were the odds of my ending up buying that actual house? How would you even begin to calculate those odds?

This is how I first encountered the mind-boggling power of vision boards – and it set me on a long path of discovery. I soon began years of intense study in the fields of quantum physics and neuroscience – both of which have yielded amazing findings in the last 10 years. I learned everything there is to know about the incredible power of intention, and every precise detail about how techniques of visualization can help each of us achieve our ultimate potential.

The Complete Vision Board Kit is a distillation of all that knowledge into a practical, easy-to-follow recipe for creating the change you want in your life.

My intention was to create for you a roadmap to help you create unlimited abundance in your own life. I hope you use it well.
