Create Your 2025 Vision Board: A Guide to Financial Wellbeing with Noma Finance

As someone who started Noma Finance from $0 back in 2022 and has grown it into a successful company with two employees, I’ve experienced firsthand the power of setting goals and visualizing success. Working remotely from incredible places like the Caribbean and Sweden, bringing fun marketing ideas to life, and enjoying amazing adventures with my partner has been a dream come true. This year, I even became a scuba dive master in Utila and took my mum on a three-week holiday to France—all while making the most money I’ve ever earned.

Creating a vision board has been a key part of my journey, helping me stay focused and motivated. At Noma Finance, we believe that financial wellbeing is essential to achieving a balanced and fulfilling life. That’s why we’ve put together this guide to help you create a vision board that captures your aspirations and focuses on your financial goals for the new year.

Why Create a Vision Board?

A vision board is a powerful tool for manifesting your goals. By creating a visual representation of what you want to achieve, you can:

• Clarify your goals and aspirations
• Stay motivated and focused
• Boost your confidence and positivity
• Track your progress throughout the year

How to Create Your 2025 Vision Board

Creating a vision board is simple and fun. Follow these steps to get started:

1. Reflect on Your Goals

Take some time to think about what you want to achieve in 2025. Consider all aspects of your life, including:

• Financial Goals: Paying off debt, saving for a house, starting an emergency fund, investing, etc.
• Career Aspirations: Landing a new job, getting a promotion, starting a business, etc.
• Personal Development: Learning a new skill, taking up a hobby, improving your health, etc.
• Lifestyle: Traveling, buying a car, renovating your home, etc.
• Relationships: Spending more time with family and friends, strengthening your network, etc.

2. Gather Your Materials

You can create a vision board either physically or digitally. Here's what you'll need:

• Physical Vision Board: A poster board, magazines, scissors, glue, markers, and any other craft supplies you like.
• Digital Vision Board: A free online tool like Canva. Canva offers a variety of templates and images that you can use to design your vision board.

3. Find Inspiring Images and Quotes

Look for images and quotes that resonate with your goals. Pinterest is a great resource for finding inspiration. Save or print images that represent your aspirations, such as:

• A picture of your dream home
• Inspiring quotes about financial freedom
• Images that represent your desired lifestyle
• Visuals of your career goals

4. Assemble Your Vision Board

Start arranging your images and quotes on your board. There's no right or wrong way to do this—just make sure it feels right to you. Group similar goals together or create sections for different aspects of your life. The key is to make it visually appealing and meaningful.

5. Display Your Vision Board

Place your vision board somewhere you'll see it every day. This could be in your home office, bedroom, or as a screensaver on your computer. Regularly seeing your goals will help keep you motivated and focused.

Financial Wellbeing Tips for 2025

To complement your vision board, here are some financial wellbeing tips to help you achieve your financial goals in 2025:

1. Create a Budget: Track your income and expenses to ensure you're living within your means and saving for your goals.
2. Build an Emergency Fund: Aim to save three to six months' worth of living expenses to cover unexpected costs.
3. Pay Off Debt: Prioritize paying off high-interest debt to free up more money for savings and investments.
4. Invest in Your Future: Consider investing in a retirement fund or other investment opportunities to grow your wealth.
5. Seek Professional Advice: If you're unsure about how to achieve your financial goals, consult with a financial advisor or broker. At Noma Finance, we're here to help you navigate your financial journey.
