Vision

“Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others.” Jonathan Swift. What is your vision? Your vision is “the what” of what you want to accomplish. When you start your day do have a vision of what you want to accomplish today? Can you see yourself finishing everything and what the rewards will be for accomplishing your vision? Vision always comes first and it must be clear and concise. With a clear and concise vision you will create a business plan which will grow your business or increase your sales. As a business owner your vision not only needs to concise and clear it needs to be huge, beyond tremendous. It needs to be so big that it takes on a life of its own. If it’s not that big you won’t have the motivation to follow your vision and if you can’t stay motivated you won’t be able to recruit others to help you achieve your vision.

When you have vision you have motivation to muddle through on your worst day (those never happen to you, right?). When you have vision you see clearly what needs to be done and somehow it always seems to happen. When you have vision life becomes simpler, clearer. When you have vision you are able to motivate others. When you have vision others will follow you to the end of the earth to help you complete your vision or lead them to theirs. Vision is limitless. I want to leave you with this Ralph Nader quote, “A leader has the vision and conviction that a dream can be achieved. He inspires the power and energy to get it done.” Be the visionary and create the vision your business needs to succeed.
