Wallace D. Wattles pinpointed the difference in the Science of Getting Rich. He stated “This is the crucial point in the science of getting rich – right here, where thought and person action must be combined. There are very many people, who consciously or unconsciously, set the creative forces in action by the strength and persistence of their desires, but who remain poor because they do not provide for the reception of the thing they want when it comes.”

Mr. Wattles also asserts that “By thought, the thing you want is brought to you. By action, you receive it.”

Take action now! Take action now to build your business. In fact, for awhile you may continue doing the same tasks to build your business that you did prior to clarifying your vision. However your experience will be different because your attitude is different. Now you hold your vision in front of you for you know with certainty that it is coming to you.

Don’t allow any misgivings to set in. When they surface, acknowledge that you may have doubts or questions. But don’t dwell on your fears for they are just thoughts. Your thoughts will only have the power that you give them. You get to choose what you focus on. You can concentrate on your doubts or you can focus on the life that you are creating for yourself and your family.

How do you keep the vision in front of you? If you want to take your family on a Caribbean cruise this year, go to the travel agent and get brochures of Caribbean cruises. Put pictures of Caribbean cruises around your office.

Know that you are taking your family on a Caribbean cruise this year. Check out the price of cruises. Visualize yourself booking the cruise. How will you feel as you are boarding the cruise ship?

As you hold the vision of your family going on the Caribbean cruise, God will reveal exactly what you need to do to build your business. Follow through as you are led. Take action now, knowing that your vision is being realized.

Take action now on your vision of creating a successful business. Know that you are creating a profitable business that manifests the life of your dreams for you and your family!

Vision statements are supposed to be big and bold. They’re meant to inspire, energize, and create a captivating picture of where you see your business going in the future.

If you don’t write a vision statement, your business will be without direction. When you complete one, your vision statement will supply the inspiration for the daily operations of your business and motivation for its strategic decisions.

Every business needs a vision statement. Want to make sure you’ve written a great one? Just follow these guidelines, fill out the vision statement formula at the end of this article, and you will have created a vision statement that clearly articulates the future of your business and paints a vivid picture for its success!

What’s the difference between a vision statement and a mission statement?

Vision and mission statements are two separate entities that answer two different, yet complementary, questions about your business.

Simply put, your vision statement answers the question, “Where do I see my business going?” Your mission statement answers the question, “Why does my business exist?”

From the start, vision statements are future-focused and written with the end result in mind. Mission statements are focused in the present and state the fundamental purpose of your business.

Which comes first: the vision or the mission?

If you are a new business just starting up, a larger company getting ready to add a new program, or an existing organization planning to overhaul your current services, then write your vision statement first.

If you are an established business with a mission statement already in place, then let your mission guide the writing of your vision statement.

Top Five Things to Keep in Mind When Writing Your Vision Statement

1. Describe outcomes that are five to ten years out.

2. Dream big and focus on success.

3. Write your vision statement in the present tense.

4. Infuse your vision statement with passion.

5. Paint a graphic mental picture of the business you want.

There is no space limit when writing a vision statement. They often contain one or more paragraphs. Write as much as you need to in order to create a dynamic mental picture of your business that will serve to energize and inspire you and your team.

Two Vision Statement Formulas for Success

Here are two basic vision statement formulas. The first one is for businesses starting up without a mission statement. The second is for businesses that already have a mission statement in place.

1. Five years from now, _______________________________ (name of your business)

will become a successful ___________________________ (type or description of business including whether it will be local, regional, national, or international in its scope)

by providing ____________________________(description of your products and/or services)

to _____________________________________________(your customers).

Example: Five years from now, the Sierra Women’s Shelter will become a successfully run non-profit shelter serving the Greater Pittsburgh area providing education, life-skills training, and the necessary support to help women who have been previously battered or abused build self-sufficient, sustaining, prosperous lives.

2. Within the next ________ (add a number) years,

grow ___________________________________ (name of your business)

into a successful _______________________________________ (type or description of business including whether it will be local, regional, national, or international in its scope),

increasing revenues to ____________________________ (amount) by _________________ (date)

providing _______________________________(description of your products and/or services)

to _____________________________________________(your customers).

Example: Within the next five years, grow Cultural Awareness Travel into the premier North American women’s tour company increasing revenues to $225,000 by 2012 by becoming known for helping women to develop greater self-awareness and confidence and to discover a new respect for diversity through cross-cultural exposure.

Your vision statement sets the tone for your business. It defines its future. It inspires, energizes, motivates, and, above all else, describes what will be achieved if your business is successful. It is impossible to plan the direction of your business without one. Follow these guidelines, and use the vision statement formula to perfectly articulate your dream, your passion, and the direction you envision for your business.
