                   Having a clear vision is critical to our success

In my last blog I admonished my readers to stop working so hard. That putting our heads down and working harder and harder isn’t the path to business success, but instead, we need to slow down and take a 30,000’ view of our businesses to determine our current state or our reality. Where are we in our business and personal life? Does it look anything like what we envisioned it would look like when we started our business? Are we where we thought we would be in our business both personally and professionally?

Once we have a clear idea of our current state, what does the desired future look like for our business and our personal life. And I do stress, both personally and professionally. We need to consider both. It’s not like we have a business life or don’t have a business life, or that we have a personal life or we don’t have a personal life. We have a life, and more often than not the two are enter-twined.

In order to see clearly, we need to determine what we want our future to look like. We need to create a vision of the future, 5-years from today. I discussed working backwards from five-years, to three-years, then to one-year. What does the future of our business and personal life look like? If we are not clear and don’t determine where we want to be in our business and personal life, it is very unlikely that we will attain the desired results.

Success in business and our personal life starts with a clear vision. We need to be proactive in order to change our current state into our desired future. It’s not likely to fall into our lap. So dream big, be bold, think amazing and visualize the future. We are the roots of our own success. Imagine the future state and write it down.

This can be your greatest year ever, but it starts with clarity of direction. Seeing clearly where it is you want to go professionally and personally.
