start up period.

Yale University surveyed the graduating class of 1953 to determine if they had written goals for what they wanted their lives to become. Only three percent had a vision. Twenty years later in 1973, the surviving members were surveyed again. The three percent who had a vision had accumulated greater wealth than the other 97 percent combined!

Know your vision and let the world know too.

Martin Luther King, Jr. said, "I have a dream," and what followed was a vision that changed a nation. That famous speech is an excellent example of the power generated by a compelling vision of the future.

A vision clarifies purpose, gives direction, and empowers us to perform beyond our resources. Unless you know where you are going you cannot get there. You don't "need" a vision, or a mission statement, but those people with clearly defined visions experience greater success than those who haven't any. Which one will you be?

A vision is not about yourself or monetary goals, it is however personal. It should be imaginative, bold and audacious—representing a real challenge. It is an idea or image of a more desirable future and your articulation of a destination towards which you will aim. Keep in mind it should be written in the present tense as if it has already been achieved.

The difference between a vision and a mission statement is that a mission statement answers the questions: Why does my business exist? What business am I in? What values guide the business? A vision, however, is broader and encompasses more. It answers the question, what will success look like? It is the pursuit of success that will really motivate you.

When creating a vision statement first answer or consider the following:

What are the things I really enjoy doing?
What brings me happiness/joy?
What issues do I care deeply about?
What things can I do at the good to excellent level?

Next consider your business 5 to 10 years down the road when you have achieved tremendous success.

What will success look like?
What tasks and activities are you engaged in?
What real value are clients receiving?
What do I envision in a perfect world for the world at large?
What is the legacy I want to leave behind?

Keeping your mission statement and what it represents in mind then create your vision.

A great vision compels action and attracts the participation of others creating a natural “pull” system. You will never be greater than the vision that guides you. Out of your passion for the ideal will come great momentum and energy to carry you forward during the tougher times in your start up period.
