There is a famous quote by Helen Keller that is key to achieving your goals “The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision.”
This is a question you should ask yourself every day – “Do You Know Your Vision?” Nobody can give you a vision of your life but you. It is UNIQUELY yours and if it not bigger than you then quite simply you are not thinking big enough.
I chuckled when I read about how the number one personal finance author and multi-millionaire Robert Kiyosaki fell over himself when Donald Trump suggested they write the book “Why We Want You To Be Rich.”
The book’s chapter is entitled “MILLIONAIRE meets BILLIONIARE”. One had the VISION of a Billionaire, the other only of a Millionaire and at that moment the Millionaire felt small.
Robert Kiyosaki reflected on the way home from that brief meeting “Who am I to write a book with Donald Trump?”
How fascinating is that? I think back to when I started out on my self titled Passive Income March my “vision” was earning £1,000 a month residual income - how pathetic is that? I’ve since achieved that in a day!
Thankfully I have an unlimited reservoir of knowledge within our online community that expanded that rather rapidly!
Most people are completely unaware of the paradigm shift required to expand their mindset into first being able to SEE their vision and secondly being able to BELIEVE they can ACHIEVE IT.
The only way in which to approach your business is to start with the end in mind, the greater the vision, the more resources it will require and that will stretch you and make you grow. We all get the same 24 hours in every day and frequently people wish for more time, however what you need to do is sharpen is your focus, for that you need more discipline.
What if you were suddenly handed the keys to an office that made you Magazine Editor of In Style Magazine next Monday morning, what would you do? How would show up, how would you handle the calls, the marketing, the editing, the quality of content? How would you make it more profitable?
That is how you should approach your own business, your network marketing business is NOT your business, it’s an income stream the only business model you should be running is “YOU INC.”
John Jackson, Vice President of Leadership at CarbonCopyPro (and our secret weapon by the way) shared this with us just last week on the Daily Wake Up Call.
Where To Find Your Vision
1. Look WITHIN you – ask yourself what moves you, what do you get excited about? 97% of people look outside of themselves.
2. Look BEHIND you – what has life taught you up to this point? The past is a point of REFERENCE, not RESIDENCE.
3. Look AROUND you – fulfilling your destiny requires having the right people in your life, people who have achieved what you came to find and are willing to share with you what you need to do.
4. Look AHEAD of you – read that Helen Keller quote again – you have to BELIEVE in what you cannot see right now but know you can create it.
5. Look BESIDE you – what resources are available to you right now, systems, mentors, books, conferences, courses.
Your VISION will carry you through every hurdle, every obstacle and every challenge, but only if it is BIGGER than you. So if you haven’t worked on your vision since New Year 2010 start this week by hitting the refresh button and THINK BIGGER.
