How can you stay focused in a vision?
Define the vision clearly.
There are a lot of distractions today in the world we live in. If you must achieve anything, clarity is a MUST.
Create Short , Mid and Long term visions.
When you create only long term goals, you're psyching your brain to shut down. You might never get anything done because you somehow believe there's still time.
Break your vision into short term, mid term and long term. The successes you record in the short term vision, will inspire you to achieve the mid term likewise the long term vision.
Do not leave anything to chance.
Accountability- this is almost like the most difficult part of the journey, but it ensures commitment
This can be achieved through;
■Self discipline
■Checkpoints - Self assessment
■Tie reward to achievements/ milestones
Be disciplined enough to stick to a routine, and be diligent enough to evaluate your progress in all sincerity.
Do not over inflate your achievements.
Create a supportive culture ( support groups, network etc).
At the end of the day, we are social beings. Don't live in isolation. Seek help and the support of a community. It helps you stay motivated.
Assign Ownership
Own your journey. you're the first beneficiary of whatever success you achieve.
An ownership mentality will help through any challenge because rather than run away, you're seeking solutions.
Conclusion;
In all you do, to thy own self be true. Seek help where you need to. You are strong but never undermine the power of Community.
Look out for mentors and coaches who can help you allign your vision, if every attempt to do it yourself is failing. Remember, failure is the evidence that you tried something new, own your journey and tell your stories audaciously.
