How to Write a Vision Statement

Do you wish you knew an easy effective way to be as successful as possible? Do you want to be the leader in your field?” Do you wish you could attract prospects to you easily and effortlessly to your business? Then you need what Bill Gates, Martin Luther King, Mother Theresa and Martha Stewart have in common. They had a vision that propelled them and you can too.

A business vision statement is an inspirational, energizing idea that you can use to excite others. A truly successful vision is a conscious creation and has to be consistent and expressed in what you do and how you do it.

Ask yourself what you want to get out of having a successful business vision statement: what excites you about the future; where are you trying to take your business; how do you want to manifest wealth in your life?

Be bold and go where you have not gone before.

Why do you need to develop a vision statement?

Without vision, you will have nothing to aspire to, except the daily grind of work, not business. You will dry up, burn out and your spirit will die. Without a clear Vision, you are constantly reactive to life’s daily changes. You will waste time, become distracted, lose money and are unsuccessful.

Simple vision statements are the best. The easier they are to communicate, the more essential they become to you and your business. You need a vision to be more effective, more desirable and more attractive to your clients and customers. Microsoft founder Bill Gates’ original vision statement was very simple: ” A computer on every desk.” It worked well for over thirty years.

Clarity is the key to a simple vision statement, yet a simple vision can be very profound. Remember Mother Teresa? She just wanted to help the poor, and ultimately became a saint the Roman Catholic Church. It all started with a simple vision statement: easy to communicate to others and a willingness to do whatever it took to get her vision seen and heard by others.
