Create your vision

So often we are so busy with today that we forget about the future. Don't forget to give yourself time to think about where you want your business to be 3-5 years down the track. Build a great vision of what YOU really want. Let's face it - if we don't know where we are going, then how can we plan to get there? Time involved in planning is time well spent and if done properly will go a long way towards ensuring success. Be creative in the visioning process. When your mind knows where it is going, then you can develop steps to get there. Just remember if you don't know where your life is going, how can you live it?

To obtain information to build your vision, research other businesses and read business articles. Visit other businesses that you find appealing and talk to the owners or staff if possible.

Now take a moment just for yourself. Close your eyes and have a think about the following:

• How do you want your life to be?

• What business are you in?

• Will you be working in the business, or will you have passive income?

• Who are the customers?

• How many people are employed?

• How do you go about getting customers?

• What makes your business unique?

Visions are not made immediately. Take time out each day to picture your vision and confirm that this is what you really want. The clearer your picture the more it will motivate you. Ask yourself is this really the life that you want to live, is it challenging enough, is this what makes you happy, is it in accordance with your values?

Your vision will give you energy and motivate you to build the business of your dreams. You owe it to yourself to dream big. Decide where you are going and then don't let anyone take it away. Develop friendships with others with positive visions and picture your vision each day to make it real.

It is from this vision that we can then decide where we want to be in one year's time and then what we need to be doing now.
