Earlier today I spoke at my Toastmasters Club 9434 about "Vision". I reminded everyone that; Every few months you need to spend a few minutes to think about your 4 life's goals as follow:
1. Your health
2. Your wealth
3. Your social self
4. Your personal enrichment
By creating this Vision, you create a destination! The vision will help you make the right decisions that will dictate your actions to achieve all your goals. And believe me, you'll be amaze how close you'll get to your vision. In fact don't be surprise if you get exactly what you want, it happened to me.
Today I'll share with you the 3 simple steps to create a successful vision:
1. Pick a time frame:This could be 1, 5, or 10 years, but my recommendation is 5 years. While this allow you to think BIG but at the same time it won't be too abstracted.
2. Write your first draft (Use the questions below in #3).
Make sure you write it from the future, for example:
- It’s now August 15th 2015. I am at my business convention in Greensboro, North Carolina next to a team of 200 people. I am so happy because, they’re not just my business partners, but I considered these amazing individuals my second family. I also get to speak in front of 25 thousand entrepreneurs. Wow! What an amazing feeling.
- I have finally achieved my financial goal, but most importantly I met and helped hundred others achieved their goals & dreams as well. I have the health I want, the money I need to make better choices, and the things I’ve learned. I have become a person I always wanted. Confidence, Humble, Caring, Honest with Dignity.
- It’s an amazing feeling now that I’ve achieved the most important things in life money can’t buy…My health, time freedom, my friendships, and my awesome family and kids.
3. Get feedback, re-write and share your vision (measure, monitor, adjust)
Find and spend more time with the people who you like, love & trust, and share your vision with them. These are the questions you want to address involving these 3 things your business, your family, your health. Questions such as
Q: How do you feel about your business, family and health?
Q: What are the 3 most important thing in your business, family and health?
Q: What kind of people will you need to connect with? (what network you need to build?)
Q: What are every tasks that go about improving your business, family and health?
Q: What do people in your community say about your business, family and health?
And finally, what really makes you happy in life?
Now that you have written down all your answers to what you want in life with a vision 5 years from now, Business, Family, Health. Make sure you write it in the future as you already achieved it. You’ll soon going to have a powerful statement that’s going to guide you to more success in the next 5 years than you’ve had the past 25 years.
I hope my gift of vision today will help guide you to a more successful and a much better future.
