Benefits of a Vision

A vision improves performance, forms the basis of a plan, motivates you to excel, and provides focus and direction. Leaders, athletes, and successful people from all walks of life have realized the benefits of creating a vision. A vision serves as a beacon, beckoning one to a better future. It inspires and ignites enthusiasm. It enables you to see and attract opportunities that align with your goals.
Conrad Hilton imagined a string of hotels across the country when he was 12. Jean Claude Killy, the Olympic skier, saw himself winning three gold medals and became the first to realize this achievement. Research shows that leaders and organizations with vision outperform those without vision. Tom Watson, the founder of IBM, was once asked what he attributed the phenomenal success of his company to and he said it was three things. First, he created a very clear image in his mind of what he wanted his company to look like. Second, he asked himself how a company like that must act daily. Then, he put that into action.
