The famous dream of Dr Martin Luther King Jr painted a picture of a world that was different to the one that he was in.
That dream ended up shaping the destiny and lives of American ever since.
Having a Dream or Vision of your business can do the same.
It creates a picture to your team of the possible, and frames the destination of that possibility.
As a leader, your job is to take people on that journey to get to the 'promise land' of achieving the objectives and goals of your business.
But sometimes the reason that we do not have a vision is:
Our fears in that we will not succeed
That it is too hard to do - so why try
That I am happy with the 'status quo'
That we do not believe we can do it by ourselves
We think we will fail due to lack of finance to get us there
I could go on.
But the regret at the end of your life of not trying is more painful than the journey of at least giving it a go.
So do not Dream Big, Dream Bigger.
A few tips:
Write down the dream that you have for your business. Getting it out of your head gives it context and perspective
Break down the Vision (Dream) into tangible goal aspects. They could be timebound revenue goals or having 20 people servicing the US in three years etc
Now take those tangible goal aspects and double it!!
Work backwards and see what you need to do to start on your journey with the resources, people and skills that you have at your disposal
Break down the goals further into years, quarters and monthly goals. This will keep you on track
Vision is one thing. Strategy and execution is another.
