Creating A Vision Statement

"Vision is the art of seeing things invisible."-- Jonathan Swift

This is a simple exercise we use in the workshop to help you identify and create your vision statement. But you may be asking what exactly is a vision statement and why do I even care about creating one?

A vision statement can be considerd an affirmation of the best possible outcome for your business. It should be grand,it should be all encompassing to what you are ultimately trying to achieve with your business.

Example: ABC Solutions vision statement is "To help promote financial independance and a more stable economy by developing small businesses "

Why do you care about creating one? Because with a clear vision, you can sync your goals and business activities to stay in harmony with acheiving it. With a clear vision (and vision statement) anything and everything is possible. Here are a few practical tips on how you can get started creating yours today

a) Think about an end goal - The end goal I want to accomplish with my business is:___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
b) Think of how your business will help you meet that end goal - My business will help me met this goal by doing the following:______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
c) Think of how this goal relates to helping other people reach their goals or contribute to their happiness or success – This goal will help others reach their goals or contribute to their success or happiness by doing the following:______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________d) Put it into a phrase, sentence or paragraph that resonates with you (you will know that it resonates with you because you will feel a sensation when you say it) – My vision statement is:
_________________________________________________________________
