Today, I get correct message wey I wan take share with una, shey you don ready? (PIGIN)

😂alright guys, let’s get right into today’s message.

We would be talking about your vision and goals.
For the past few weeks, I’ve realized how ambitious and alert people have been in regards to their time, business, family, etc.
This period of the coronavirus has revealed and awakened a drive in many of us to do much more with our lives, and so, as you go on with chasing after your dreams and reaching for the stars, I thought to myself, “what information can I provide, that is necessary and timely in order to help you achieve that success you envision?”, hence the subject matter of the day.

As said by Pia Robson, ” Goals and visions guide your focus. Your energy flows to where your focus is”

Students, Parents, employees, business owners, and startup entrepreneurs often spend a lot of time defining their vision, values, goals, and strategy to achieve success, but, these concepts are most times mixed up with one another.

These concepts are all separate and distinct things that, if used correctly, can catapult your business or activities into a success. When confused, however, you’re less likely to reap the benefits of each- Bridget Weston.

Your Vision and Goal

Vision Statement:

(Desired End-State) A one-sentence statement that describes your aspirations upon achieving your mission. This statement reveals the “where” of a business, family etc. Remember as I said last week, once you have your why and your vision, your foundation has been properly set. A vision statement is a well written document that states your current and future objectives. It is intended as a guide to help you/ the organization make decisions that align with your/its philosophy and declared set of goals. It can be thought of as a roadmap to where you/ the company wants to be within a certain timeframe.

For example; Microsoft (at its founding): A computer on every desk and in every home.

How to come up with a vision statement by Stephanie Ray

1. Be Concise: This is not the time to stuff your vision with fluff statements. It should be simple, easy to read and cut to the essentials, so that it can be set to memory and be repeated accurately.They should be short – two sentences at an absolute maximum. It’s fine to expand on your vision statement with more detail, but you need a version that is punchy and easily memorable.

I remember growing up, my dad would entreat my siblings and I to read out our vision statement every morning before heading out to school. So it’s important to keep it short and easily understood.

• Be Clear: A good tip for clarity is to focus on one primary goal, rather than trying to fill the document with a lot of ideas. One clear objective is also easier to focus on and achieve. In order to be clear, try to focus on what it’s you actually do or the organization does. Be output focused rather than input focused.

For example, you are a photographer or videographer, you takes loads of pictures and edit etc. Your output can be to satisfy your customer in a creative way, so be clear on that.

• Have a Time Horizon: A time horizon is simply a fixed point in the future when you will achieve and evaluate your vision statement. It’s like a target or a deadline sort of. Define that time.
• Make it Future-Oriented: Again, the vision statement is not what you/ the company is presently engaged in but rather a future objective where you/ the company plans to be.
• Be Stable: The vision statement is a long-term goal that should, ideally, not be affected by the market or technological changes. Again, if you are confused about this, visit my previous post to gain understanding.
• Be Challenging: That said, you don’t want to be timid in setting your goals. Your vision  shouldn’t be too easy to achieve, but also it shouldn’t be so unrealistic as to be discarded. What makes you stand out amongst many others? Write it down. Think big, think great.

• Be Inspiring: Live up to the title of the document, and create something that will rally the troops and be desirable as a goal for all those involved in the organization. Or those you would be working with.
It shouldn’t be too, “stressful” to read, talking less of actually doing. Add some spice to it, use words that can be easily understood as well.

Work the goal, keep the vision

Now that we have outlined how to write a vision statement down, you must understand that you ought to have a goal written down as well to help achieve your vision..
