Purpose

Set Your Mind in the Direction of Your Big Vision

It astounds me how irregularly most entrepreneurs take the time to check in with their big vision for their business and life and ensure they’re still moving towards it. Instead their days are filled with worries about the busywork of the here and now and a general vague idea of ‘doing something’ to one day live the dream.

Let me be quite clear here:

You will ALWAYS move precisely in the direction you are facing, and whatever your focus is WILL become your reality.

So if your focus each day is on how busy you are –

How much there is to do –

How you can’t ever QUITE seem to make it work –

How you don’t know EXACTLY what the most effective thing to do right now is –

Never mind all of the usual mayhem of your personal life outside of business –

Then what you will CREATE for your future is more busywork, more uncertainty, more ‘it’s not quite working’, more running around like an overwhelmed headless chook trying to decide which path to take, and ultimately more fear and resistance as over time your self-belief crumbles and your exhaustion mounts.

And when I say your future? Of course I mean your now, because your future ALWAYS reflects your now. How you live today is what you are MAKING matter for the future, so if you want a new future then it’s really very obvious:

Create a new now.

And the best way to do that, the SMARTEST thing you can stop and do right now is take a moment – or however many moments it takes – and just check in.

What IS your big vision?

What’s all this work actually supposed to be about?

Where is it you want to go (exactly!) but also WHY?

And what can you NOW do to point your inner self and your outer activity towards that destination?

If you’ve not asked yourself these questions in the last few days in some way shape or form then NOW is the time to pull out your journal, and get back to clarity, excitement, and deliberate focus.

Don’t have time, or don’t really feel like it? Too much going on right now and you just need to clear your plate a little?

Great.

Makes total sense.

But do NOT be surprised if what you continue to RECEIVE in your life is a continued lack of time, motivation, energy and results!

You really can’t expect to create something you didn’t, well, create.

Can you?

What this means is simple:

The most important activity in your EVERY day schedule is to check in with your vision. If you’re doing this regularly it can be as simple as 5 minutes at the start of the day.

Time with your journal.

In your mind.

Digging into your soul.

Where you remind yourself –

What it’s all for …

What you really (really really!) want …

For your business …

Your body …

Your relationships …

Your finances …

Your life.

And what the ULTIMATE destination in each and all of these areas would be. If you could truly be anyone, do anything, have it all on your terms then WHAT WOULD YOU WANT and why?

If you can’t answer that right now then guess what?

You’re not aligned with your vision.

It’s NOT upmost in your mind.

Which means that on a very practical level you are NOT POINTED IN THE DIRECTION OF YOUR SUCCESS.

Which really does beg the question –

Where ARE you pointed right now?

Where are you GOING right now?

Is it deliberate? It doesn’t really matter if it is or isn’t, because either way you WILL end up at the most likely outcome of the path you’re right now taking.

So if you have a moment, just now –

If you can AFFORD a moment, right now –

To invest into getting your sweet ass BACK ON COURSE, then I’d suggest you sit back and take a good hard look at where your current actions and beliefs are taking you.

If you continue on the path you’re on right now in your business – and you can do this exercise for all areas of life – where are you MOST likely to end up?

More flustered, more stressed, busier still, less clear, and older to boot?

It really isn’t that hard to achieve incredible success in ANY are of business or life, no matter how big and exciting and scary the dream might be.

Just decide what you want.

Choose to be ABSOLUTELY COMMITTED to making it happen.

FOCUS on that big vision in some way shape or form every day.

And then do the fucking work.

(And repeat).

So if right now you’re off track, don’t have what you want, and KNOW that you’re pretty damn unlikely to get it based on your current path, then do yourself a favour today yes?

Get your butt back on path.

It’s really not hard …

It’s just a choice!

So the fact that you’d even CONSIDER not making it, the fact that you’d make being busy or tired or unsure more important than aligning your movement towards the actual results you WANT?

Would make you pretty fucking crazy.

Which you’re not.

Right?
