Develop a Clear Vision for Your Business


I spent sometime out-of-town over the holiday weekend visiting with family. I want to share the great experience I had on this trip because it will shed light on how YOU think about your business every day…

Before setting out on my trip, I created a clear vision in my mind of what I wanted to happen – great conversation, uplifting experiences, and smiling faces. I even visualized some personal time away from the group to read and relax on my own.

Turns out, I had a wonderful weekend.

I know that much of the enjoyment came from a very clear VISION of what I wanted to have happen. Often, in these kinds of situations, it can be too easy to focus on what everyone else always does that drives you “bonkers.”

But with a clear vision in mind, you can set out to achieve what you want. Who cares about what everyone else is doing (or what they *unconsciously* want)! You have your vision, and that’s all that matters.

I’m sure you know where I’m going with this: The exact same thing is true for business!

Without a clear vision, your business success is shaky at best. You don’t know where you’re going, so you probably won’t get there. (You probably won’t get anywhere!)

With a clear vision, your business success is clearly defined. You know exactly where you’re going, so the chances of getting there are much greater. You may not get there exactly on time, you may even decide to change course midstream, but at least you have a target.

I was even able to put this trick to use in a game of Monopoly with my family. We had a great time and I walked away with over $10,000! (Maybe it was “Monopoly Money,” but I still felt great about it…)
