TO KNOW YOUR VISION JUST IN THESE FEW STEPS.

 TO KNOW YOUR VISION

Vision is the act or power of positively anticipating that which will or may come to be.

I believe fully that without a vision you have no quest, no plan, no road to travel or map to follow in your life or career. You will walk blindly, not focusing on what you really want to create.

So what is your vision? Some people call it a quest … A life plan or others may call it a business plan. In a typical business plan, you would have entered all the numbers and facts on a spreadsheet in order to have a bank or have your staff believe in your dream.

I have a business or life time line that I give to my students. I call this the Vision Time Line. It doesn’t start out as a business plan but it will turn into a business plan after this exercise. Just these few steps will help you be more aware of your vision. Here is how it works:

On  A PIECE OF PAPER, write down the word: Vision. You are going to write your vision statement. 

 Your vision statement is the highest purpose of what you are doing. So to take a minute so that you can write your vision statement.  To do that again answer this question what is the highest purpose of what you are doing.  What is your macro picture for the future?

 Your future…

What is the vision of your life? 

What’s that big picture you have for your life?

Okay …. Are you satisfied with your vision statement?

I will now show you how to achieve that vision by using three things: Mission, Objectives and Strategy. Let me explain each one….

●      Mission: What you do each and every day to live into that future vision.

●      Objectives: What are the results you want to achieve?

●      Strategies: The long term/big picture plan. How will you get there?

On your paper under where you just wrote your vision statement, write down what would your mission need to be in order to achieve that vision?

THEN MOVE ON TO OBJECTIVES.

 WHAT ARE THE RESULTS YOU WILL ACHIEVE THROUGH YOUR MISSION THAT LEADS YOU TO YOUR VISION.

LAST GO ON TO YOUR STRATEGIES.

●      WHAT WILL YOU DO TO GET THERE BOTH SHORT TERM AND LONG TERM.

It does not have to be lengthy. AT THIS POINT. It could just be a paragraph. Write down those 3 things your mission the objectives and your strategies.

      ●      Mission: What you do each and every day to live into that future vision.

●      Objectives: What are the results you want to achieve?

●      Strategies: The long term/big picture plan. How will you get there?

Okay, now, re-read your plan… and then project your plan 10-20 years into the future. HOW DOES IT FEEL TO HAVE ACHIEVED YOUR VISION THROUGH THESE 3 THINGS?

 

Now look back at what you did not put down or what you would change that you did not see before in the 10-20 year plan and regrets? Do you need to switch up the future from the present?

 

Here is where you lay out the direction to your road map and place markings to indicate where you are going, what will distract you or lead you off course. It can place you in a positive direction as the driver and it easily guides you and your vision to where you want to go…even if it is a little foggy ahead it can still give you a direction to move forward in the direction you intend to go.
