Welcome to the RV Rental Secrets Podcast! I'm your host, Stacy Maxson, and today I’m sharing a special talk from our recent Fireside Retreat all about Vivid Vision—a powerful method for setting and achieving goals for your RV rental business and life.
We all face struggles in business and life, but taking the time to reflect on your "why" can help you push through challenges. I walk you through the seven layers deep exercise to uncover the true reasons behind your goals and how getting clear on your motivations can bring more purpose and direction to your business.
From there, I introduce the concept of Vivid Vision, inspired by Cameron Herold’s book, and how crafting a three-year vision with specific details about your personal and professional life can help you stay focused and motivated. Whether it’s growing your RV rental business, achieving financial freedom, or creating more time for your family, your vivid vision serves as your roadmap to success.
I also discuss the importance of writing your vision as if it’s already happening, incorporating specifics into different areas of your life (business, family, health, lifestyle, and spiritual growth), and how revisiting your vision daily keeps you aligned with your goals. Plus, I share personal experiences of how creating and refining my own vivid vision has helped shape the life I’m living today.
So grab a notebook, take some time to reflect, and start crafting your vivid vision for the future. And if you’re feeling inspired, I’d love to hear your vision or your "why"—send me a message!
Thanks for tuning in to the RV Rental Secrets Podcast. See you next week!

Welcome to the RV Rental Secrets Podcast.
.999I'm your host, Stacey Maxson, and I'm thrilled to guide you through the journey of launching, growing, and managing a profitable RV rental business. 3 00:00:10,30.997732426 --> 00:00:12,990.997732426 Hey guys, welcome to the RV Rental Secrets podcast. 4 00:00:13,410.997732426 --> 00:00:22,320.996732426 Today I'm going to share with you a talk that I had at our recent fireside retreat, and it's all about vivid vision. 5 00:00:22,670.997732426 --> 00:00:25,40.996732426 And I was going to do a podcast about it and then. 6 00:00:25,525.997732426 --> 00:00:30,195.997732426 I recently did this speech at the retreat, so I just thought I would share that with you. 7 00:00:30,205.997732426 --> 00:00:31,475.997732426 So, I hope you enjoy. 8 00:00:31,475.997732426 --> 00:00:31,955.997732426 Okay. 9 00:00:31,975.997732426 --> 00:00:37,865.997732426 So the first thing I want to talk about, like we're talking about goal setting for 2025. 10 00:00:38,245.996732426 --> 00:00:44,435.995732425 And one of the things that I come across a lot when I talk to you guys is, you know, of course we all struggle in business. 11 00:00:44,945.997732425 --> 00:00:46,540.896732426 It's just part of life. 12 00:00:46,680.996732425 --> 00:01:03,400.995732425 You know, we struggle in life as well, so I want everyone to just take a few moments and think about what is your why? Why did you join Fireside? You know, what did you hope to get out of having an RV rental business? You know, we, of course, all want money. 13 00:01:03,685.996732425 --> 00:01:06,295.996732425 But it's usually something deeper beyond that. 14 00:01:06,595.996732425 --> 00:01:13,745.996732425 And, you know, we can start this a little bit here, but even outside of here, there's really what they call, like, seven layers deep. 15 00:01:14,55.996732425 --> 00:01:16,345.996732425 So you're going to write down your first why. 16 00:01:16,385.996732425 --> 00:01:19,485.996732425 And, you know, I kind of did mine here, just to give you an example. 17 00:01:19,775.997732425 --> 00:01:26,955.996732425 So why did you want to own a firefight, fireside franchise? So I kind of thought back to why I wanted to. 18 00:01:26,965.996732425 --> 00:01:26,995.996732425 And. 19 00:01:27,485.996732425 --> 00:01:38,455.996732425 You know, like I said, I want to make more money but why did I want to make more money? And at that point, I was a stay at home mom and I wanted to contribute to the finances. 20 00:01:39,245.996732425 --> 00:01:51,855.99673242 And then going to the third layer, why did I find that important? Like, why did I feel like I needed to contribute to the finance? And at that point, we wanted to get out of debt, so making additional money would help with that. 21 00:01:52,355.99673242 --> 00:02:05,75.99673242 And why did I feel like I wanted to get out of debt? So you know, you're just going deeper and deeper, and that's even when you're talking to your owners, you know, like her, she's seeing her first fear, but it's always deeper than that. 22 00:02:05,145.99673242 --> 00:02:10,305.99673242 And you really have to start writing that down on paper to get to that point. 23 00:02:10,805.99673242 --> 00:02:19,45.99673242 So at that point, layer four, you know, I wanted less tension in the household, have money to do the things that we wanted to do. 24 00:02:19,550.99673242 --> 00:02:21,770.99673242 And didn't want to be in jobs that we didn't want. 25 00:02:22,60.99673242 --> 00:02:26,990.99673242 You know, I was working part time jobs that I was just working to bring in money. 26 00:02:27,30.99673242 --> 00:02:34,890.99673242 Garth was in a job for 17 years that, you know, brought in good money, but it didn't bring him joy. 27 00:02:34,900.99573242 --> 00:02:36,320.99573242 He wasn't passionate about it. 28 00:02:36,340.99573242 --> 00:02:41,750.99673242 It was just the 9 to 5, and it wasn't bringing anything to us as a family. 29 00:02:42,150.99673242 --> 00:02:45,730.99673242 It was really taking away, especially with his time from the family. 30 00:02:46,310.99673242 --> 00:02:57,425.99773242 So after that You know, why? Why did I want that? So that we could spend more time with our kids, so we could travel more, and show them things that we never got to experience. 31 00:02:57,805.99773242 --> 00:03:08,975.99773242 And I'm sure, if you guys know my story, you see me on Facebook, like, we've, we're living that now, and, you know, it's, it's an amazing feeling and experience that we're getting to do that. 32 00:03:09,435.99773242 --> 00:03:19,820.99773242 And that's, you know, to go even deeper, you know, getting to work together and live together, putting our family first, and that's really what we're, trying to do now. 33 00:03:19,860.99773242 --> 00:03:32,80.99773242 Our dream is still to own a campgrounds, like where we live together, work together, and you know, putting this down on paper, it's just really seeing why we're doing what we're doing and what we want to accomplish with our lives. 34 00:03:32,660.99673242 --> 00:03:44,120.99773242 So I really think, you know, you guys should all take the time to do that, to see why you started this and on those tough days. 35 00:03:44,495.99773242 --> 00:03:54,875.99773242 When, you know, you have those complaints, and you feel like nothing's working out, which you will have those days, you know, think and look back on your why. 36 00:03:54,995.99673242 --> 00:04:02,585.99673242 You know, if you have it written down, it's even better, because you can read through it, and it'll give you that focus of, this is why I'm doing what I'm doing. 37 00:04:02,945.99773242 --> 00:04:05,865.99773242 And, you know, through these hard days, we will get there. 38 00:04:06,335.99773242 --> 00:04:08,35.99773242 And we want to live this life. 39 00:04:08,735.99773242 --> 00:04:16,155.99773242 So yeah, I mean, that, that's the first thing I wanted to cover with just knowing your why to help you get through those times. 40 00:04:16,435.99673242 --> 00:04:20,225.99773242 And I encourage everyone to kind of journal through that at a later point. 41 00:04:20,725.99773242 --> 00:04:25,755.99773242 And then using that to then create your vivid vision. 42 00:04:26,80.99773242 --> 00:04:36,120.99673242 So, last year at the retreat, we did vision boards and, like, we each did a little workshop and cut out photos and put it on, but I wanted to change it up a little bit this year. 43 00:04:36,160.99773242 --> 00:04:41,70.99673242 So, in my Women's Mastermind that I'm in, they encouraged us to read the book Vivid Vision. 44 00:04:41,470.99773242 --> 00:04:52,910.99673242 And it gives you five different topics that we really dig into, and basically, you're like, you're going to create your vivid vision, write it out and look at it every day. 45 00:04:53,255.99773242 --> 00:04:54,475.99773242 to keep you going. 46 00:04:54,695.99773242 --> 00:04:56,655.99773242 And it's based on a three year plan. 47 00:04:57,75.99773242 --> 00:05:00,5.99773242 So this is the book, Vivid Vision by Cameron Herold. 48 00:05:00,605.99773242 --> 00:05:02,875.99773242 And he's written a lot of books. 49 00:05:02,875.99773242 --> 00:05:04,125.99773242 He has a podcast. 50 00:05:04,135.99773242 --> 00:05:06,175.99673242 I found his work to be really good. 51 00:05:06,595.99773242 --> 00:05:13,555.99773242 But the Vivid Vision is, like I said, a detailed description of what your ideal life will look like in the next three years. 52 00:05:13,805.99773242 --> 00:05:16,125.99773242 So you're putting that time frame on it. 53 00:05:16,385.99773242 --> 00:05:19,695.99673242 So you're really looking ahead to see what your life's going to look like. 54 00:05:20,810.99773242 --> 00:05:25,630.99773242 And it's going to focus on your aspirations, goals, and your dreams in vivid detail. 55 00:05:25,660.99773242 --> 00:05:30,195.99773242 So you want to make sure that you have specifics in there. 56 00:05:30,235.99773242 --> 00:05:31,906.93106575 Let me see how to look at this. 57 00:05:31,906.93106575 --> 00:05:38,226.93106575 So you're not going to just be like, Oh, I, you know, want, I'm going to own a campground in three years. 58 00:05:38,516.93106575 --> 00:05:45,296.93106575 You really want to think about how you want to feel there, what it's going to look like, and put, like, all of those details in it. 59 00:05:45,871.93106575 --> 00:05:59,531.93106575 So, you know, in three years, I'm gonna be in a campground in upstate New York, living with my family on a 20 acre property, like you really want to give the details so that you can envision it. 60 00:06:00,221.93106575 --> 00:06:05,451.93106575 So it's gonna provide you clarity and focus, acts as a daily motivator and guide. 61 00:06:05,751.93106575 --> 00:06:07,241.93106575 That's still something I'm working on. 62 00:06:07,251.93106575 --> 00:06:09,281.93106575 I do have my vivid vision written out. 63 00:06:09,641.93106575 --> 00:06:20,151.92956575 And at one point I was really good about my daily routine where I'd get up in the morning, read my vivid vision you know, do some reading and, and exercise. 64 00:06:20,151.92956575 --> 00:06:24,721.92906575 And I had that routine but you know, life happens and you don't always stay in the routine. 65 00:06:25,91.92906575 --> 00:06:27,421.92906575 So, that's something I'm getting better at. 66 00:06:27,421.92906575 --> 00:06:31,566.92906575 But if you have it in a place where you can always, you know, refer back to it. 67 00:06:31,576.92906575 --> 00:06:32,676.92906575 That's really helpful. 68 00:06:33,176.92906575 --> 00:06:36,906.92906575 So like I said, think deeply about all the areas in your life. 69 00:06:36,996.92906575 --> 00:06:41,606.92906575 Describe what your ideal life is like as if it already exists. 70 00:06:41,866.92806575 --> 00:06:43,156.92906575 So you want to write it. 71 00:06:43,236.92806575 --> 00:06:50,926.92906575 You don't say, you know, I want it to be it's I am like, I'm already doing this stuff when you're writing your vision. 72 00:06:51,296.92906575 --> 00:06:59,561.92906575 You know, what does your house look like? How do you spend your days? Who are you with? How do you feel? Like those are all things you want to think about and write in depth. 73 00:07:00,61.92906575 --> 00:07:01,441.92906575 And then these are the five areas. 74 00:07:01,451.92906575 --> 00:07:16,741.92706575 So your personal life, you want to think about your relationships, how you want your health to be, if you want to include like new hobbies your professional goals, so your business, what do you want to achieve in your business you can even get down to specifics. 75 00:07:17,241.92806575 --> 00:07:28,801.92806575 You know, for, I want, you know, I'm, I have an RV rental business with 25 units and we're making 150, 000 a year, like you want all those specifics. 76 00:07:29,431.92806575 --> 00:07:34,91.92806576 Your family, your lifestyle, your values, your shared experiences. 77 00:07:34,591.92806576 --> 00:08:02,151.92706575 So, you know, what do you, you want your interactions with your family to be? Do you want to spend more time with them? Do you want to travel more, visit certain places? Spiritual, like how do you want your faith to be? Personal growth, giving back, like what do you want those contributions to be? And then lifestyle of course travel, your environment, like where do you want to live? What do you want it to look like? And then your daily routines. 78 00:08:02,651.92706575 --> 00:08:13,166.92706575 So just You know, you can list them all out but when I talk more about goals, like, really, you really just want to focus on, like, one to three things that you're going to focus on. 79 00:08:13,716.92706575 --> 00:08:17,6.92606576 This is an example from the Women's Workshop. 80 00:08:17,436.92706576 --> 00:08:26,831.92806575 Is it really tiny up there? But just to give you an example, like, they They talk about all areas of their life, and I'll just let you guys read through it. 81 00:08:27,141.92806576 --> 00:08:30,201.92806576 And they're really specific on what they want to accomplish. 82 00:08:30,221.92806576 --> 00:08:32,361.92806575 They put, you know, numbers to it. 83 00:08:32,731.92806575 --> 00:08:35,301.92706575 You know, they talk about having date nights weekly. 84 00:08:35,681.92806575 --> 00:08:44,951.92806575 So, just Thinking of all aspects and how will that give, you know, fuel to your life in all areas. 85 00:08:44,961.92806575 --> 00:08:53,901.92806575 You wouldn't normally think of that, you know, in your vivid vision, but making sure that you're supporting your relationships as husband and wife is going to help you grow in other areas. 86 00:08:54,181.92706575 --> 00:09:05,261.92706575 So so I'll, if you guys want, you can have a few minutes to kind of like, start writing down some things of what you are thinking of for your vivid vision. 87 00:09:05,361.92706575 --> 00:09:08,991.92706575 Just focus on what speaks deeply to you. 88 00:09:09,1.92706575 --> 00:09:23,956.92706575 You know, I know Gar spoke earlier about What God's telling you, and you know, what do you feel about that, and what do you think that means for you in the next three years of what you want to focus on and what you want your vivid vision to look like. 89 00:09:24,386.92706575 --> 00:09:32,296.92706575 You know, don't worry if it's perfect, you can always update it and change it, but just to get those thoughts down on paper can mean a lot. 90 00:09:32,896.92706575 --> 00:09:35,626.92706575 And like I had mentioned, write it as if it's already happening. 91 00:09:35,636.92706575 --> 00:09:38,216.92706575 So, you know, I am doing this. 92 00:09:38,686.92706575 --> 00:09:40,486.92706575 Not that it hasn't happened yet. 93 00:09:41,36.92706575 --> 00:09:44,536.92706575 And then like I mentioned, read it daily if possible. 94 00:09:44,706.92706575 --> 00:09:48,56.92606575 If you remember to stay focused and motivated. 95 00:09:48,436.92606575 --> 00:09:50,586.92606575 You can use your vivid vision as a guide. 96 00:09:51,986.92606575 --> 00:09:53,766.92606575 And I think that's really important too. 97 00:09:53,796.92606575 --> 00:09:59,86.92606575 I know as entrepreneurs there's always like that shiny object syndrome that things come up. 98 00:09:59,426.92606575 --> 00:10:00,876.92606575 But look at your vivid vision. 99 00:10:00,886.92606575 --> 00:10:09,511.92606575 Does that new thing Stay in line with that vision and that kind of helps you make a decision whether you should say yes or no to something. 100 00:10:10,41.92606575 --> 00:10:16,761.92606575 So I feel like that's really important because I know, you know, a million things can come up and Garth will attest to it. 101 00:10:16,761.92606575 --> 00:10:24,691.92506575 I'm like, what if we can do this? What if we do this? But it's like, can be something completely off, off topic or focus. 102 00:10:25,111.92506575 --> 00:10:27,661.92506575 Like just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. 103 00:10:27,671.92506575 --> 00:10:30,101.92506575 So you want to make sure it's aligning with that vision. 104 00:10:30,886.92606575 --> 00:10:36,46.92606575 Yeah, we can both relate to that, right, Gar? You know, and then adjust and refine. 105 00:10:36,426.92606575 --> 00:10:40,846.92606575 You know, your goals are going to change, your passions are going to change, and that's okay. 106 00:10:41,146.92606575 --> 00:10:48,6.92606575 You know, if you look at something and are like, okay, you know what, this really doesn't matter to me anymore. 107 00:10:48,136.92606575 --> 00:10:50,386.92606575 It's okay to let it go and change your vision. 108 00:10:50,766.92606575 --> 00:11:00,646.92606575 One of the, the mentors I listened to, Use it as an example, which it's not me at all, but like she she was like a seven figure business owner. 109 00:11:00,656.92606575 --> 00:11:07,106.92606575 And when she was doing her vision, it was like, she wanted a pair of like Louis batons and that was like part of her vision. 110 00:11:07,156.92606575 --> 00:11:11,946.92506575 And then she was like, like, as I was working, I realized I'm in flats all the time. 111 00:11:11,996.92606575 --> 00:11:13,186.92606575 Like, I don't like wearing heels. 112 00:11:13,186.92606575 --> 00:11:18,86.92606575 Like, why is that even on there? You know? So like put stuff that matters to you, not to other people. 113 00:11:18,96.92606575 --> 00:11:20,836.92506575 Like, you know, Oh, I, I need a. 114 00:11:21,291.92606575 --> 00:11:27,551.92606575 Lamborghini or whatever because other people have it or you think that's the status symbol that you need. 115 00:11:28,191.92606575 --> 00:11:32,301.92506575 That's, that doesn't have to be a part of your vision if it's not what you really want. 116 00:11:32,381.92506575 --> 00:11:38,891.92506575 So make sure, you know, you're thinking of what you want, not what you think you should have or what other people want you to have. 117 00:11:39,391.92506575 --> 00:11:40,891.92506575 Thank you so much for listening. 118 00:11:40,901.92506575 --> 00:11:48,371.92506575 I hope this podcast inspired you this week, and I would love to hear your vivid vision or your why if you'd like to share that with me. 119 00:11:48,831.92506575 --> 00:11:51,711.92506575 See you again next week on the RV Rental Secrets Podcast.
Welcome to the RV Rental Secrets Podcast.
.999I'm your host, Stacey Maxson, and I'm thrilled to guide you through the journey of launching, growing, and managing a profitable RV rental business. 3 00:00:10,30.997732426 --> 00:00:12,990.997732426 Hey guys, welcome to the RV Rental Secrets podcast. 4 00:00:13,410.997732426 --> 00:00:22,320.996732426 Today I'm going to share with you a talk that I had at our recent fireside retreat, and it's all about vivid vision. 5 00:00:22,670.997732426 --> 00:00:25,40.996732426 And I was going to do a podcast about it and then. 6 00:00:25,525.997732426 --> 00:00:30,195.997732426 I recently did this speech at the retreat, so I just thought I would share that with you. 7 00:00:30,205.997732426 --> 00:00:31,475.997732426 So, I hope you enjoy. 8 00:00:31,475.997732426 --> 00:00:31,955.997732426 Okay. 9 00:00:31,975.997732426 --> 00:00:37,865.997732426 So the first thing I want to talk about, like we're talking about goal setting for 2025. 10 00:00:38,245.996732426 --> 00:00:44,435.995732425 And one of the things that I come across a lot when I talk to you guys is, you know, of course we all struggle in business. 11 00:00:44,945.997732425 --> 00:00:46,540.896732426 It's just part of life. 12 00:00:46,680.996732425 --> 00:01:03,400.995732425 You know, we struggle in life as well, so I want everyone to just take a few moments and think about what is your why? Why did you join Fireside? You know, what did you hope to get out of having an RV rental business? You know, we, of course, all want money. 13 00:01:03,685.996732425 --> 00:01:06,295.996732425 But it's usually something deeper beyond that. 14 00:01:06,595.996732425 --> 00:01:13,745.996732425 And, you know, we can start this a little bit here, but even outside of here, there's really what they call, like, seven layers deep. 15 00:01:14,55.996732425 --> 00:01:16,345.996732425 So you're going to write down your first why. 16 00:01:16,385.996732425 --> 00:01:19,485.996732425 And, you know, I kind of did mine here, just to give you an example. 17 00:01:19,775.997732425 --> 00:01:26,955.996732425 So why did you want to own a firefight, fireside franchise? So I kind of thought back to why I wanted to. 18 00:01:26,965.996732425 --> 00:01:26,995.996732425 And. 19 00:01:27,485.996732425 --> 00:01:38,455.996732425 You know, like I said, I want to make more money but why did I want to make more money? And at that point, I was a stay at home mom and I wanted to contribute to the finances. 20 00:01:39,245.996732425 --> 00:01:51,855.99673242 And then going to the third layer, why did I find that important? Like, why did I feel like I needed to contribute to the finance? And at that point, we wanted to get out of debt, so making additional money would help with that. 21 00:01:52,355.99673242 --> 00:02:05,75.99673242 And why did I feel like I wanted to get out of debt? So you know, you're just going deeper and deeper, and that's even when you're talking to your owners, you know, like her, she's seeing her first fear, but it's always deeper than that. 22 00:02:05,145.99673242 --> 00:02:10,305.99673242 And you really have to start writing that down on paper to get to that point. 23 00:02:10,805.99673242 --> 00:02:19,45.99673242 So at that point, layer four, you know, I wanted less tension in the household, have money to do the things that we wanted to do. 24 00:02:19,550.99673242 --> 00:02:21,770.99673242 And didn't want to be in jobs that we didn't want. 25 00:02:22,60.99673242 --> 00:02:26,990.99673242 You know, I was working part time jobs that I was just working to bring in money. 26 00:02:27,30.99673242 --> 00:02:34,890.99673242 Garth was in a job for 17 years that, you know, brought in good money, but it didn't bring him joy. 27 00:02:34,900.99573242 --> 00:02:36,320.99573242 He wasn't passionate about it. 28 00:02:36,340.99573242 --> 00:02:41,750.99673242 It was just the 9 to 5, and it wasn't bringing anything to us as a family. 29 00:02:42,150.99673242 --> 00:02:45,730.99673242 It was really taking away, especially with his time from the family. 30 00:02:46,310.99673242 --> 00:02:57,425.99773242 So after that You know, why? Why did I want that? So that we could spend more time with our kids, so we could travel more, and show them things that we never got to experience. 31 00:02:57,805.99773242 --> 00:03:08,975.99773242 And I'm sure, if you guys know my story, you see me on Facebook, like, we've, we're living that now, and, you know, it's, it's an amazing feeling and experience that we're getting to do that. 32 00:03:09,435.99773242 --> 00:03:19,820.99773242 And that's, you know, to go even deeper, you know, getting to work together and live together, putting our family first, and that's really what we're, trying to do now. 33 00:03:19,860.99773242 --> 00:03:32,80.99773242 Our dream is still to own a campgrounds, like where we live together, work together, and you know, putting this down on paper, it's just really seeing why we're doing what we're doing and what we want to accomplish with our lives. 34 00:03:32,660.99673242 --> 00:03:44,120.99773242 So I really think, you know, you guys should all take the time to do that, to see why you started this and on those tough days. 35 00:03:44,495.99773242 --> 00:03:54,875.99773242 When, you know, you have those complaints, and you feel like nothing's working out, which you will have those days, you know, think and look back on your why. 36 00:03:54,995.99673242 --> 00:04:02,585.99673242 You know, if you have it written down, it's even better, because you can read through it, and it'll give you that focus of, this is why I'm doing what I'm doing. 37 00:04:02,945.99773242 --> 00:04:05,865.99773242 And, you know, through these hard days, we will get there. 38 00:04:06,335.99773242 --> 00:04:08,35.99773242 And we want to live this life. 39 00:04:08,735.99773242 --> 00:04:16,155.99773242 So yeah, I mean, that, that's the first thing I wanted to cover with just knowing your why to help you get through those times. 40 00:04:16,435.99673242 --> 00:04:20,225.99773242 And I encourage everyone to kind of journal through that at a later point. 41 00:04:20,725.99773242 --> 00:04:25,755.99773242 And then using that to then create your vivid vision. 42 00:04:26,80.99773242 --> 00:04:36,120.99673242 So, last year at the retreat, we did vision boards and, like, we each did a little workshop and cut out photos and put it on, but I wanted to change it up a little bit this year. 43 00:04:36,160.99773242 --> 00:04:41,70.99673242 So, in my Women's Mastermind that I'm in, they encouraged us to read the book Vivid Vision. 44 00:04:41,470.99773242 --> 00:04:52,910.99673242 And it gives you five different topics that we really dig into, and basically, you're like, you're going to create your vivid vision, write it out and look at it every day. 45 00:04:53,255.99773242 --> 00:04:54,475.99773242 to keep you going. 46 00:04:54,695.99773242 --> 00:04:56,655.99773242 And it's based on a three year plan. 47 00:04:57,75.99773242 --> 00:05:00,5.99773242 So this is the book, Vivid Vision by Cameron Herold. 48 00:05:00,605.99773242 --> 00:05:02,875.99773242 And he's written a lot of books. 49 00:05:02,875.99773242 --> 00:05:04,125.99773242 He has a podcast. 50 00:05:04,135.99773242 --> 00:05:06,175.99673242 I found his work to be really good. 51 00:05:06,595.99773242 --> 00:05:13,555.99773242 But the Vivid Vision is, like I said, a detailed description of what your ideal life will look like in the next three years. 52 00:05:13,805.99773242 --> 00:05:16,125.99773242 So you're putting that time frame on it. 53 00:05:16,385.99773242 --> 00:05:19,695.99673242 So you're really looking ahead to see what your life's going to look like. 54 00:05:20,810.99773242 --> 00:05:25,630.99773242 And it's going to focus on your aspirations, goals, and your dreams in vivid detail. 55 00:05:25,660.99773242 --> 00:05:30,195.99773242 So you want to make sure that you have specifics in there. 56 00:05:30,235.99773242 --> 00:05:31,906.93106575 Let me see how to look at this. 57 00:05:31,906.93106575 --> 00:05:38,226.93106575 So you're not going to just be like, Oh, I, you know, want, I'm going to own a campground in three years. 58 00:05:38,516.93106575 --> 00:05:45,296.93106575 You really want to think about how you want to feel there, what it's going to look like, and put, like, all of those details in it. 59 00:05:45,871.93106575 --> 00:05:59,531.93106575 So, you know, in three years, I'm gonna be in a campground in upstate New York, living with my family on a 20 acre property, like you really want to give the details so that you can envision it. 60 00:06:00,221.93106575 --> 00:06:05,451.93106575 So it's gonna provide you clarity and focus, acts as a daily motivator and guide. 61 00:06:05,751.93106575 --> 00:06:07,241.93106575 That's still something I'm working on. 62 00:06:07,251.93106575 --> 00:06:09,281.93106575 I do have my vivid vision written out. 63 00:06:09,641.93106575 --> 00:06:20,151.92956575 And at one point I was really good about my daily routine where I'd get up in the morning, read my vivid vision you know, do some reading and, and exercise. 64 00:06:20,151.92956575 --> 00:06:24,721.92906575 And I had that routine but you know, life happens and you don't always stay in the routine. 65 00:06:25,91.92906575 --> 00:06:27,421.92906575 So, that's something I'm getting better at. 66 00:06:27,421.92906575 --> 00:06:31,566.92906575 But if you have it in a place where you can always, you know, refer back to it. 67 00:06:31,576.92906575 --> 00:06:32,676.92906575 That's really helpful. 68 00:06:33,176.92906575 --> 00:06:36,906.92906575 So like I said, think deeply about all the areas in your life. 69 00:06:36,996.92906575 --> 00:06:41,606.92906575 Describe what your ideal life is like as if it already exists. 70 00:06:41,866.92806575 --> 00:06:43,156.92906575 So you want to write it. 71 00:06:43,236.92806575 --> 00:06:50,926.92906575 You don't say, you know, I want it to be it's I am like, I'm already doing this stuff when you're writing your vision. 72 00:06:51,296.92906575 --> 00:06:59,561.92906575 You know, what does your house look like? How do you spend your days? Who are you with? How do you feel? Like those are all things you want to think about and write in depth. 73 00:07:00,61.92906575 --> 00:07:01,441.92906575 And then these are the five areas. 74 00:07:01,451.92906575 --> 00:07:16,741.92706575 So your personal life, you want to think about your relationships, how you want your health to be, if you want to include like new hobbies your professional goals, so your business, what do you want to achieve in your business you can even get down to specifics. 75 00:07:17,241.92806575 --> 00:07:28,801.92806575 You know, for, I want, you know, I'm, I have an RV rental business with 25 units and we're making 150, 000 a year, like you want all those specifics. 76 00:07:29,431.92806575 --> 00:07:34,91.92806576 Your family, your lifestyle, your values, your shared experiences. 77 00:07:34,591.92806576 --> 00:08:02,151.92706575 So, you know, what do you, you want your interactions with your family to be? Do you want to spend more time with them? Do you want to travel more, visit certain places? Spiritual, like how do you want your faith to be?
