Create a 3 Year Vision for Your Business Growth

You might think it’s too hard to think about the next 3 years, but having a 3 year vision allows you to think big, way bigger than you can ever imagine.  Most of my clients just hope for the best. They simply keep doing what they’ve been doing and don’t have a strategy for creating the business of their dreams… living a wealthy entrepreneur’s life.

 

I used to write down my goals each year, but it never really worked for me. I just didn’t feel really excited about my new goals. They didn’t seem to propel me in motion and so I kind of viewed them as being useless. I never really looked at them, probably because they seemed like “should” rather than “really-meaningful-wants.”

 

Then I learnt about the concept of creating 3-year visions that helped me to focus on what I want for my life which includes my family, financial, spiritual, and relationship goals.

 

Having a 3 year goal has helped me to make a big stretch to what I can achieve in life. My creative side always takes over, so I see what I will like my life to be like, scary but exciting.

 

Having a vision is a necessary component to once success. A well defined vision keep’s us on track and motivates us times get though.  Your vision will keep you fired up.

 

Setting Your 3 Year Vision 

• Write down your visions. If your visions aren’t written down, it’s not a vision. It’s just a wish a wish and wishes doesn’t come true.
• Be sure the write your visions in the positive. Don’t write what you don’t want. Write down what you do want. Don’t write “I don’t want to struggle in my business any more” write “I am earning 4,000 a month on client projects”.
•  Be specific. Don’t write, “I want to earn more money”. Instead write, “I am earning 100.00 per year as a personal trainer”.
• Write your goals in the present tense. Not, “I will earn…” rather “I am earning”.
• Set a target date when the goals will be accomplished. Without a target date you’ll have the tendency to procrastinate and put off the necessary things you must do to achieve it, “” I am earning 1,000 a weeks as a personal trainer by March 12, 2009.
• Make sure your goals do not conflict with one another. Let say you set a business goal of being a personal trainer that has 60 private clients and you also set a personal goal of spending more time with your family, then there is a conflict because most of the time you will be busy working with clients and If the goals conflict’s you wouldn’t achieve any of them.

 

After you have set your 3 year visions, you need to develop an action plan for achieving them. Many people have created visions and never took action. You action plan simply “chucks down” the necessary steps you need to take to achieve your dream.
