Vision is more than a destination
Posted in Time Management, Networking, Sales, Coaching, Marketing, Success, Leadership by Manny on March 1st, 2010 We have been talking a tremendous amount about
vision over the past year. About how leaders have
to have a vision of where they want to go. How
they need to be able to see the vision, the end result.

But today, I want you to understand something just
as important as seeing where you want to go. I want
you to understand that vision in real leadership
doesn’t just means seeing where you want to go, but
also seeing how you are going to make it happen.
Seeing the process, the entire path, the things that
you need to do to make it happen. The things you
need to do to make that vision a reality. What you
need to do to make it happen. What you need to
do and the when, where and how.
Having you visualize the whole process and actually
see it happening. That is what we want to talk about today.
The key point for today is simply being able to
visualize the process, watch it happen in your
minds eye. You see visualizing the things that
you need to do are just as critical as knowing
what the end result is. To many times people
have great visions but they just don’t know how
to make them happen. To many times they put a plan
together without really being able to see the things
they need to do to make it happen. To many times
planning is just a mechanical task without vision.
If your vision is to increase sales 50%, then I know
you can see it happening. You see your organization
at 50% more sales. But now, can you see the
things you need to do to make it happen. Can you
see things like:
Hiring successful sales people - can you see what
you will need to do to find them? Can you see what
you need to do to help them be successful? Can
you see what other changes you will have to make
in the organization to support their effort? Can
you see what else you will have to do?
Being able to see these things will help you understand
and define what you need to do to make it happen.
If you really want to make it happen, then you will
see the things you need to do, the obstacles that
could come up, the solutions, the things you need to
put in place. You will see it all taking place. You
can see it happening. Your vision will become a reality.
You will see the new network that will required to
support the sales increase? The new software you
will need to support it. The added cost and the
effect on cash flow?
You see, visualizing all these things will help you
prepare and get ready for them. It will make your
vision become a reality.
It will also help you make a very critical decision. Is
this really what I want? If you can see the road to get
there, do you really still want to go?
So, if you been struggling to make your vision a reality
what can you do. You know where you want to go,
you might even have a basic plan, but have you spent
the time, effort and energy seeing it happen?
If you spend the time effort and energy on seeing
that plan happen, on visualizing it, you will be amazed
at how quickly it start to happen.
Years ago many of us were taught that preparation
is 9/10’s of the job. It was taught to us, yet did we
really learn how important it was. Take time and
visualize everything you need to do to get to your goal.
Once you visualize it, once you put it in the plan,
the execution becomes a simple management job.
This week I want you to take that vision that you have
built and I want you to start to visualize it happening.
I want you to see all the things that you need to do to
make it happen. I want you to walk the road to it
happening and see all the things you will encounter
and how you will deal with them.
Then go back to your plan and adjust it to what you
have seen. You will be simply amazed.
If you think you need some help with this
process then coaching might be the
key to helping you attain greater results.
It really works?
It can be that edge that you need.
