Vision 1-3-5

Greetings!


Vision...a clear picture of what you want to achieve and who you want to be. Do you have one? No? Is your vision is a little blurry? Let me share an excercise with you that may help out!

Having a Vision of what you want is very important. It sets the tone for all of your goals, and MORE importantly, the ACTIONS you need to take to achieve them. When you have a moment, close your eyes and visualize where you are in your life when you achieve SUCCESS. Success means different things to different people. What does it mean to you? Being rich? Driving a Ferrari? Having a stabile job and a happy family? The point is this is YOUR vision. What is it?

Now take it a step further. Put a time line on your vision. Where do you want to be in 1 year? 3 years? 5 years? I heard a great phrase long ago..."Many of us overestimate what we can do in 1 year, and underestimeate what we can in 5." You have to have SHORT, INTERMEDIATE, & LONG TERM Goals.

Now, after you have a Vision of where you want to be, what are you going to have to do to GET THERE! Take a look at what you want in 1 year...what ACTIONS must be taken to achieve it! Do the same for 3 years and 5 years.

This is a great little excercise. It helps us to put some Clarity into our thoughts and our actions. When we have a clear VISION of what we want it's so much easier to get there.

I'll leave you with a great story. It's a little sketchy in my mind, so bare with me. :)
When one of the new Disney parks opened, the head of Disney at the time was interviewed by reporters. One reported asked a slightly rude question. He said, "Don't you feel bad that Walt Disney died and never got to see this park?" To which the man answered, "He did see it, that's why you are standing here today."

Remember, you have already achieved success in your mind. All you have to do is take enough actions to bring it to reality.

I truely hope you gained benefit from this today!


ALL THE BEST!
