Be Bold About Your Vision!

Do you clearly see the vision you have for your business? If you do, then you should be able to share it boldly with anyone that asks. Can you share it with someone in 10 seconds or less?

One of my coaching topics with women in Mary Kay has always been on the subject of vision. It is absolutely critical that you know your vision, focus on your vision, and boldly communicate your vision with others.

Vision is what you see in your future that could or should be. Vision is the picture held in your mind’s eye of the way things could or should be in the days ahead.

There is a big difference between wishful thinking and bold pursuit of a vision that you can clearly see. Vision is the mental picture that drives you to do the work that others will not do.

Here is an exercise to help you capture your vision.

1. Take out a blank sheet of paper and just start describing what you see in your future for your Mary Kay career. Be sure to write down as many details as possible.

2. Give the paper to someone else and give them the freedom to ask you about anything that is on the page. This helps you communicate your vision to others.

3. On the back side of the page write one sentence that captures everything written on the front of the page. This serves as your vision statement.

4. Share your vision statement with your Director and say it 10 times a day for 21 days.

Being bold about your vision paves the way for your vision to become a reality!
