Establish A Vision: Unlock Long-Term Success

We all need vison to be happy in finding success in our business, personal, and spiritual lives. It's all about being able to see the big picture. We hope, or perhaps if we are lucky, it will appear clear as glass.

Years ago, in one of my books, I wrote an article/chapter entitled "Wax Paper Vision.” To summarize, it went like this. Imagine placing wax paper over your eyes and try to operate for a day. Nothing would be clear, everything would be foggy, and you wouldn't be able to see where you were going. Frustration would set in and you might just quit trying. 
 
One must have a clear vison as to what he/she is trying to accomplish. Vision, in this case, can also mean a bigger picture, such as truly thinking and planning for something big or in the future. Something that could change you, the industry, your family, your town, and so on.  

I once heard a quote by someone say, "Never entertain a small idea because no one will buy it, including yourself.” So, I challenge you in this planning season to be a visionary and think big. I would like to close with another writing from the book, "The Best of Success" by Wynn Davis. “Vision is the gift of seeing clearly what may be. Vision expands our Horizons. The more we see, the more we can achieve; the grander our vison, the more glorious our accomplishment. The courage to follow our dreams is the first step toward destiny." ​
