Vision is Extremely Important for Self-Motivated Entrepreneurs
Is Your Vision 20/20?
By 20/20 I mean that you have the right balance for this core value. You do this by making it compelling, and knowing that you can achieve it. You want to make it compelling enough that you will be self-motivated to do whatever you need to do to realise your goals. And you don’t want to make it so overwhelming that you feel you don’t have the resources to put in the hard work to make it happen. For example, if you have the massive goal of being the best in the world, but there is only you as you start out, with limited finances, time and energy, then you will quickly give up because it is an unrealistic vision. However, if your vision is to be the best in your local market, then this is quite different.Quiz: Is Your Vision Clear, Compelling, and Realistic?
