Why your Life's Vision Starts with a Question - Lois Weinblatt

Motivating! What do you want 5 years from now? How do you achieve your vision? Listen to Anne extract the strategies and secrets from Lois Weinblatt on how to map and action your career, business and life visions. Here's how to head in the right direction purposefully and intentionally to achieve your driving purpose!

Actionable Takeaways:

1. Clarify your Timeframe

Do you feel like you want to gain clarity for the next 5 years of your life?  If 5 feels too far out, how about 3 years?  If the thought of 3 years feels overwhelming, how about clarifying *your* definition of success for the next 90 days?  Listen to your instincts and go with what feels right for you!

2. DON'T Start with the End in Mind

When I say the word “Vision”, most people think of “future”. And while Visioning is about clarifying *your* definition of success at a specific point in the future, “starting with the end in mind” can actually backfire.  Before you start trying to figure out what you *really* want for the next stage of your life, you’ve got to understand how you got to where you are, then you’ve got to be honest with yourself and take stock of where you are now. After that point you’ve peeled back enough layers to clarify the non-negotiables for your next chapter and use those to help you write your Vision.  So rather than feeling overwhelmed with jumping straight to your future, start by connecting the dots on the patterns that have led you to where you are now.

3. Carve Out and Protect "Visionary Time"

If you’re not feeling ready to start the Visioning process, begin by carving out 1 hour on your calendar each week for ‘Visionary time’ - time that you focus on what’s important but not urgent.  Then, protect that time! The more you get in the habit of Visionary thinking, and making that kind of thinking a priority, the more ready you will become to think more deeply about clarifying your Vision.
