“VISION IS THE ART OF
SEEING THINGS INVISIBLE.”
-Jonathan Swift
On the other hand, work on your business is
the kind of work that fosters expansion. is work
like marketing, networking, and education,
as well as the work you do to up-level your
expert status and improve your mindset
and energy. Above all, this work should be
done with the highest possible mindset and
energy, since it is the work which will shape
your business’ future and help to create your
personal and company visions.
YOUR PERSONAL
VISION
If you have a big vision but aren’t sure what
steps to take to get to where you want to go,
try the exercise below. (Actually, everyone
should do this exercise, even if they are
already crystal clear!)
By charting a path backward from your
ultimate goal to where you are now, you will
be able to more easily identify the action
steps, short-term goals, and stepping stones
that link your current reality to the one you
want to create.
The Personal Vision
Clarity Exercise
• Find a quiet place to sit
comfortably. Have a pen and
paper within easy reach.
• Close your eyes. Take a few
slow, deep breaths in and out
to release the tension from your
body.
• Now, envision where your
ultimate success is, what it looks
like, and what it feels like. Who is
there with you? What are people
saying? What does your typical
day entail? Sit for a moment,
immersed in your version of
ultimate success. Use as many of
your senses as you can, so you
can actually feel it (as opposed to
just intellectualizing it).
• Continue breathing while feeling
the energy of your success settle
completely in your body. Enjoy
these feelings and celebrate
them.
• Now, consider how you got
here to this place of ultimate
success. See yourself taking
action: What are you doing?
Who are you speaking to?
What are you saying? What is
going on around you? One by
one, trace your actions back to
where you are right now, today.
You have just charted a path to
your ultimate success.
