MVP’s long-time vision

It’s goal setting time! For a few years now, we at MVP insurance have been using vision boards for our goals, not only for the company but for us as individuals. We think setting goals is crucial to business and personal success. 

Sure, you can write out a list of goals you want to accomplish within the next year or even long term, but what’s the fun in that? This is why we create vision boards! They are eye-catching, allow you to see your own journey as you mark off each goal, and let’s be honest—it’s hard to misplace, so there is no “I lost my goal list” excuse!

Creating a vision board is a process, but it’s a lot of fun. 

There are seven essential parts to everyone’s life that we should be setting goals for every year—parts that shape us and can drive us toward a better self. Here’s how you can make your own vision board!

1. Personal finance

This section is all about your personal finances and how you want that to be in better shape than you have it now. 

When you look at your bank account, what number do you want to see? What number do you want to see in your savings account, investing account, kid’s college fund account? What credit score do you want to have?

2. Relationships

Healthy relationships and friendships are essential to life. How would you like the relationships in your family to be better? Spend more time with your parents or siblings, or schedule a regular date night with your spouse. Do you need to mend a broken relationship? 

Whatever it is, make it a goal!

3. Personal development

Ask yourself what will help you grow as a person. What do you do outside of work? Outside of spending time with your family? Recreational activities? Books? Hobbies? What do you do for fun? What are some things that you can personally do that make you better?

Think about different areas in your life in which you can grow.

4. Physical

Being physically healthy goes hand-in-hand with getting things done at work. Being healthy keeps your mind sharp and focused. 

How do you want your physical body to look? How do you want to feel? Do you want to run a 5K or do a marathon?

5. Work goals

In your current career, think about what you want to achieve in the upcoming year. Sales, commissions, clients? Looking at this day next year, what does your business look like?

Maybe, it’s a specific client or person you want to connect with. Be specific!!

6. Future goals (five years from now)

Where do you see yourself in five years? Look at the goals you are setting, and then think five years from now. Are those same goals bigger? Scarier? How have those goals changed?

Think about the long-term goals you want to achieve.

7. Daily habits

What daily habits can you implement or fix or change that can help you reach the goals above? Maybe it’s writing down daily goals, staying consistent, or taking it one day at a time.

What is ONE thing you can do that will help you beat these goals? Don’t think too big or unrealistically. Even the smallest change in your daily habits can make a huge difference over the long run.

Read 1-7 slowly and spend time thinking about each one. What goals can you set for yourself that will help you move in the direction you want? Think about your “why.” How does it go hand-in-hand with these goals? 

Take notes on each one of these. Then, find some pictures or words to print, cut out magazines, or draw something that will help you visualize what your life will look like if you achieve these goals. With each goal you achieve from your vision board, you can literally see them being checked off the list!

What do you enjoy most about working at MVP Insurance?


I love working with such an amazing team!  As an owner here, I get the blessing of choosing who I get to work with every day, and I have to say I would put our team up against any!  We are blessed to have people who put service before self daily!  Second, I love that we get to honor God with what we do here.  I don’t want to live a day without the Lord being a part of our business.  I believe that is one of the biggest reasons we have been successful in this industry!


What is your favorite book, movie, and/or Song?


My favorite Movie – Is Pride and Prejudice (2005)

My favorite song is . . . all of them!  I love all music except for maybe Death Metal!

My favorite book series that I have read recently is “The Prison Healer” series by Lynette Noni.  I love listening to young adult fiction the best.  Gets me out of my head and I get to take mini adventures with the characters.


Another series I really enjoyed was “Legend” by Marie Lu.  Both have amazing character development and unique surprises. A business book that I recently listened to that was amazing was Overcoming the Five Dysfunctions of a Team by Patrick Lencioni.

 

What is your Favorite Quote or Scripture?


Colossians 3:4 “When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.”  This is one of God’s promises when you live for the Lord, not everyone will understand that, and that’s okay, I am not for everybody.  I am for the ONE!


What is your dream Vacation?


My dream vacation would be to travel in the Mediterranean with my husband and all my kids and their families, for like 3 months and really get to experience the culture and the beauty there.

How did you get into Insurance?


I got into insurance in 2019 because God told me this was my next step when I came in to meet with Brent and Joan for the first time! I love being an insurance agent because I get to help educate people and help protect families. I love my job for so many reasons, but mostly because I work with incredible people, both at MVP and with the relationships I form with clients and referral partners.


What is your favorite book, movie, and/or Song?


I don’t know if I can choose an actual favorite, because I love so many things in life! But the song that brings me the most joy currently is Somewhere Over the Rainbow/Wonderful World medley by IZ, with the ukulele. I love the words, the hopeful message, and I tend to always find the silver lining or the other side of the rainbow in every situation. I am an incurable optimist and joy seeker!


What is your Favorite Quote or Scripture?


My favorite scripture is Ephesians 3:20, God is able to do exceedingly, and abundantly, more than we can ask or imagine!


What is your dream Vacation?


My dream vacation is a quiet place in the mountains! My husband and I took a belated honeymoon to Pagosa Springs, Colorado and it was a slice of heaven on earth! My ideal day would be spent outdoors, enjoying wildflowers, the sound of a river rushing by, cool mountain breezes, and the smell of pine trees. We loved the small town and beauty of Pagosa Springs so much that we are actively working towards being able to get a place there so we can escape to the mountains more regularly!

What is your dream Vacation?


My childhood dream vacation was to go to Disney World (like most little kids). However, as an adult my ultimate vacation would be to travel to Ireland and visit the many towns, and villages along the western shoreline. The most famous landmark in Ireland is probably the Cliffs of Moher which is at the top of my bucket list.

What do you enjoy most about working at MVP Insurance?

 

I love the family atmosphere that we have created here at MVP. Everyone is willing to go the extra mile to help a fellow client, co-worker, or strategic partner!

 

What is your favorite book, movie, and/or Song?

 

If you catch me reading it is most likely a book about business or personal development. One of my all time favorites is “Good to Great” by Jim Collins. I don’t think I can pick a favorite movie, but I am a huge fan of “The Office” TV Series (American Version). I like to think I’m a Jim, but truthfully, I’m probably more of a Michael!

 

I enjoy listening to all genres of music. People who ride with me are often taken aback because I’ll be streaming Beethoven from my phone and an EMINEM song will come on after.

 

What is your Favorite Quote or Scripture?

 

“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” Philippians 4:13
“An office is for not dying. An office is a place to live life to the fullest, to the max. An office is a place where dreams come true.“ Michael Scott

 

What is your dream Vacation?

 

Snow Skiing and a big cabin in the Mountains of Colorado!
