From Vision to Reality

We all need to have a vision as to what our life would look like out in future years. It does not matter whether you are starting out in life or are somewhere in the middle.

The best way of casting your vision is to ask yourself what your life will look like in 3-5-10 years time.
Yes I am sure you have lots of ways of describing what you will be and who you will be. However as long as it stays in your head, it will continue to be just a nebulous vision.
The process of writing things down is a cathartic process. It forces the brain to process what is a nebulous thought process to a more structured process, enough to be able to express it in writing.

Step ONE
The more you describe yourself in all facets of your life, the better the end result will be. You must cast a vision for the three key aspects of your life: business, personal and spiritual. By the end of the process, you should be able to almost taste it. The more details, the more in depth, the better the end result will be. This is not a quick process. You should be prepared to allocate a minimum of half a day to do this justice.

A simple method of going about achieving this is to ask yourself as many questions as you can starting with WHY, WHERE, WHEN, WHO and WHAT about yourself in 5 years time for each of the three key areas.
Eg Where will you be, what will you be doing, who will you be with, etc.

Step TWO
Once you have written down a comprehensive description of who you will be ie your vision, you can then start to set MACRO goals. Macro goals are major milestone goals ie married, buy a house, save a $100k, earn $150k a year.

For each of the three aspects of your life, you should have sub-macro goals broken down into milestones for each of the 5 years. ie yr 5, 4, 3,2,1
Eg to save $100,000 in 5 yrs, you need to save $20K/year.

Step THREE
Set MICRO goals. Micro goals are short term “how to” goals. These are typically the goals that describe how to achieve each of the sub-macro goals.
Eg, to save $20K/year, you need to save approx. $1700 per month.

This is a tried and tested methodology which has been used by many to actualize their vision. By following this technique you will join the top ONE % of the adult population.

CARPE DIEM, seize the day.
start today as today is the first day of the rest of your life.
