The make-up artists at LA Make-up are firm believers in planning for the future. We know how hard it is to make it as a professional make-up artist but it’s not impossible! Recruiter Lindsay Browning is back again with some tips for laying out your 2010 Vision. Lindsay says: ‘A vision board helps you focus on your desires, visualise them in your mind, and at the same time create a positive attitude and motivation!’ What more could you ask for?

So take a few minutes to sit down by yourself or with some other make-up fans and think about what you want to achieve in 2010. Think about your goals and your dreams; what can you do to make them real this year? Think beyond your New Year’s Resolutions and look at where your love of make-up can take you.

Create a vision board for your career using inspirational words and phrases cut out from magazines; stick them all on a board which you should display somewhere prominent in your house or apartment. Lindsay advises placing the visual board somewhere like the kitchen so you can see it everyday. That way you won’t forget where you’re aiming for and it will be easier to stay focused on your goals.  Words we’d suggest for an exciting make-up career would be: Fun! Work Hard! Training! Learn! Focus on Business! Client Satisfaction! Success! Glamour!

What would you put on your visual board this year?
