Road Trip Exercise 1B: Visual Representation

Create your visual representation. Once you finish it:

On Paper

Place the original in your notebook on the page after your GoalTopia exercise.

Or

Take a photo, upload it, and insert it into your dedicated computer document.

On Computer

Save the image.

Insert it into your dedicated computer document.

Or

Print out two copies. One for your notebook. The other for your Trip Map.

Trip Map

Take your original visual representation or printed copy—along with your statement of Ultimate GoalTopia—and frame it, laminate it, or otherwise protect it, and add it to your Trip Map.

Your Trip Map is where you will compile—and look at—the visual cues you create relating to your goal trip. As your Trip Map grows, take pictures of it to store on your phone and keep on hand.

You are probably thinking you need to get a large whiteboard or corkboard, or an actual map, and put it up over a big chunk of your office. While those are viable options, your Trip Map does not need to be huge. It doesn’t even have to be a map, though it can be. And it only needs to be visible to you.

I keep my Trip Map on the back of a two-foot by three-foot canvas frame in my office. It is located right behind my computer and visible to me at all times, but I can easily turn it around if someone is coming by and I want to keep it private. If you have limited space or your office is mobile, get a letter-sized portfolio folder which has a solid cover and clear pocket pages.

This map will serve as a hub of visual reminders of what you are working toward. It’s an extremely powerful part of your road trip planning.
