Get Pumped About Your Business Prospects
Visualize perfection to achieve it with Samantha Hartley
Too few of us create really good Mission, Vision and Values statements. We can all benefit from the focus such an exercise presents. Visioning isn’t just for big companies such as Coca-Cola; it’s important for entrepreneurs too.
Business growth partner Samantha Hartley shares how a vision statement, different from a mission statement, helps guide people to “get clear” on what they want. The focus derived from that process improves results personally and professionally.
Watch this video to learn how to do this “visioning” to get a better picture of:
- Your business goals
- Your perfect client
- What you want from partners, and even
- Your perfect day
Samantha defines visioning and gives an excellent process example related to joint venture or strategic partnerships. She’ll clear up the confusion about vision vs. mission too.
You’ll want to brainstorm, whether with a team or by yourself, to craft a vision statement that you can boil down to a simple one-line statement. Read this new mantra each day to visualize and achieve your goals.
Coca-Cola’s vision statement, for instance:
“Loved Brands, Done Sustainably, for a Better Shared Future.”
“Our vision is to craft the brands and choice of drinks that people love, to refresh the in body and spirit. And done in ways that create a more sustainable business and better shared future that makes a difference in people’s lives, communities and our planet.”
