Vision boards, a manifestation technique under the Law of Attraction, are considered to be under this movement, and it’s a common misconception that it’s an activity reserved for women.
In fact, making vision boards is largely viewed as a woman-centered activity, discouraging men from even making one in the first place.
This thinking is wrong, as vision boards are not limited to one gender’s interests only, but are a manifestation technique for everyone, male or female, young or old.
In this article, we’ll show you everything you need to know about vision board ideas for men, so you can harness the power of visual representation to make your dreams come true.
This article is a general guide for men who want to make dream boards, but also for women who want the men in their lives to get started.
Here are 8 major ideas for vision board-making for men:

CATEGORIES FOR YOUR VISION BOARDS
When making vision boards, you need to have a focus. This means one vision board should be about one major goal. Of course, you can make a board that has all of your dreams in the collage, but to make it more effective, a board that focuses on one category will help you become clearer with your intentions.
Some of the most common categories for dream boards for men are the following:
- Fitness
- Career
- Family
- Love and Romance
- Finance
- Material Possessions
- Travel
These are the most common categories when it comes to the general goals of men. Fitness seems to be one of the top since health and appearances are highly important to men, but so is having a family, having success in one’s career, as well as financial freedom.
We’ve created a great article about this and you can find it here. We’ve also included a simple step-by-step guide on how to make a board for men, which is perfect for beginners or anyone who doesn’t know how to make one from scratch.

MANIFESTATION JOURNALS AND MAGAZINES TO BUY
If you are not open to making a collage on a board, don’t worry, there are other ways you can take advantage of visuals to manifest your goals. You can use journals and magazines designed specifically for men and the Law of Attraction practices.
These products are designed to appeal to men, such as featuring leather hardcovers, having masculine colors in the design, geometric shapes, and other design elements catered to the different styles of the male gender. They also make great gifts for Father’s Day, birthdays, Christmas, and other special holidays.
Law of Attraction journals typically have activities and prompts that can help you get started and organize your goals, while magazines have pictures you can use for a board.

LEARNING ALPHA MALE CHARACTERISTICS THROUGH VISION BOARD-MAKING
Are you familiar with the concept of the Alpha Male? If you are, you might not realize that you can learn how to be one. If you don’t know what an alpha male is, then you’re in luck.
An alpha male is a term used to describe the leader of a pack of wolves in the wild. This term has been used in humans, where a natural-born male leader shows characteristics of being confident, self-aware, having high standards, being successful, and action-oriented.
This kind of man is what every other man aspires to be because he is beloved by women and envied by men. He is successful, he achieves his goals and does what he says he does.
If you’re not an alpha male, don’t worry, because you can learn to be one. You can use a vision board to teach you the characteristics of being confident, self-aware, and action-oriented so you can turn your dreams into reality.
Some of the things you can put on your board include pictures of taking care of appearance and looks, learning leadership skills, becoming action-focused in your goals, and so many more. By putting this on your board, you will start to exercise attitudes and behaviors similar to an alpha male who naturally makes his dreams come true.
And of course, we’ve written a great article about this, which you can find here.
