I especially value that you speak of the connection between vision and passion and integrity. For one's vision to be powerful and authentic, it must emerge from what is most important to us, at the heart and soul level. Well said!

However when I do take the time to write something down as far as my plans are concerned, I find that I'm so much more focused and driven to complete the task at hand. Sure it does take more time to put together a vision statement, however having a well defined vision statement will definitely set you apart from everyone else in any under-taking. And you as well as others will notice that difference. I have to admit, this is indeed something I am guilty of and that is not having a well defined vision statement.

When we are clear in our own vision or when we understand what is your clients vision it is so much easier to work together towards the same goal. I love to colaborate with clients to help them accomplish their vision and most importantly I like to write it out, so it is very easy to check back to see if we are in the right direction.

Therefore, the decisions I make will ultimately be consistent with the vision, and will allow me and my company to remain on solid ground, amazing! Since decision making is a by product of ones vision I now understand the importance of having a clear and articulated vision.

For me clarification is necessary. I desire to accomplish a goal and I have an awesome dream to fulfill, is this vision? If I understand the article, I must develop the ability to articulate the vision before I can satisfy the dream, is that right? I need to understand the difference; do I need to follow a predetermined process? When I discuss my desire, dream, and goal am I describing part of my vision? How will having the ability to articulate a vision make me more in tune and in touch with a deeper sense of self, and provide more meaningful insight? How does that work? I am not sure what change if any I will immediately experience when or if I am able to describe my vision. Perhaps, I have articulated my vision and I am calling it something else?

Maybe it was Jim Rohn. I have had times when I've built my vision, other times when someone built it for me and others where it was a combination. Vision to me is the picture for our future, but is only the very beginning of attaining it.The real point is that it gives the starting point and the direction.

I always thought that they were one in the same. Now I believe that without a clear vision, it is that much more difficult to reach your goals.

I guess this is mainly because I'm still discovering new ways to make our business more competitive each day. With every new angle I see, there derives a new operational procedure, person or resource needed to create that competitive edge. I use to envision working out of a large office, but have come to see the benefit of meeting real estate borrowers onsite at the property and seeing their investment vision first hand - something my competitors don't do. So for now my vision is simply this, creating a business where one day I can overhear a conversation about our company along the lines of "Hey, I use that company too, I love working with them".
