ENVELOPES & NOTECARDS
One Prosperous tool for achieving a Vision or Goal is to use Envelopes & Notecards. Many of our members have found success materializing the object or objective they desire using the Envelope Method. The first step in this process is to get an envelope. Write on the envelope the name of the thing you desire and the approximate cost of ownership.
Next "bring the envelope to life" by putting some amount of money in it. Whether it's a few dollars or just spare change, money--any money will activate the envelope. To further bring the envelope to life....make a Notecard.
Notecards can be 3"x 5" index cards or anything similarly sized. On the front of the Notecard draw a picture (or use clipart or cut out a photo from a glossy magazine) of the object or objective you desire. Once the notecard has an image, put it into the envelope. Continue to put any available money or spare change into the envelope as it becomes available.

Continue to put any available money or spare change into the envelope as it becomes available.
While the front of the Notecard begins to look like a small Vision Board, the back of the Notecard is reserved for a special purpose. This purpose is for a written action plan. By taking the Notecard into a Pressure Relief Meeting / Group or Action Meeting, one can write down any actions suggested by one's Pressure Meeting team or Action Meeting team. These suggested actions form the set of instructions on how to achieve the object or objective you desire. Having an Action Plan on the back of the Notecard and a specific image on the front of the Notecard has proven to be extremely helpful in visualizing and planning for the achievement of the Vision. When not in use, the Notecard stays in the envelope along with any saved money. Together these items represent a clear image of what one wants to achieve; a specific plan of action on how to achieve the goal; a receptacle for holding any money saved; and the money itself, which will accumulate until it is enough to pay for any costs of ownership of the object or objective.
