Vision of success

Vision of success

A great exercise to overcome lack of #clarity on #strategy, escape the grip of short-term tactical work, and even defeat #procrastination is to develop a #vision of #success.

The busyness of life - urgent and immediate stuff to do - rewards you with frequent instant gratification, but it so often amounts?to so very little. 'What needs to be done' sabotages the focus and toil necessary to claim greater goals.

Well, reframe it - in six months' time, two years from now, at the end of your mandate, when you look back... What will be a job well done? What will make you fist pump? What will you love to have achieved??What will be your impact? What will be your legacy? Really think about it.

Write that down. Write down your ambitions. These are important because they made it to the list. Share them with the people who are important to you.

And then plan backwards. What are the intermediate milestones? What's their breakdown? What needs to be done? Will you do it?

And then make it a daily habit never to settle for what's comfortably busy, but to choose to move forwards, towards something you'll be proud of.
