Friends,

A very very very  rich and wise King called Solomon said  “Where there is no vision, people perish…” but what happens if your vision is so average so mediocre you hit it and feel let down ? Peter Irvine co- founder of Gloria Jeans worldwide recently produced his first book “Win in Business” and we have taken an extract from this very popular read. Peter is now working with Achievers Group as a key note speaker, business, franchise and corporate advisor and if you need to contact him go to our website www.achieversgroup.com.au.

Until next time live with passion, excitement and expectation. It will change your life!

Tony Gattari

 

 

Most of us aim too low

It is a sad fact that for most of us, we aim too low. Whether it’s our business or our career, so often we believe that we need to have a vision that is small and easily achievable. We determine in our minds that we simply need to be realistic, because we don’t want to set ourselves up for disappointment. The truth is that our small thinking—our small vision—is limiting what we really could be achieving. When we aim low, there’s no growth, and our lives begin to stagnate.

I want to tell you that if you shoot at nothing, you will hit it every time. Aim for something big and bold, and you’re likely to hit something of worth. People who think big have expansive thinking. When you don’t set limits, you catapult yourself along the journey. In contrast, a small, achievable vision hinders your progress; you end up only managing progress within your comfort zone and according to what you can control. 

Obviously, any vision takes time to achieve, especially the bold, exciting ones. No vision evolves into results overnight. But the great thing about vision is that it gives you long-term perspective. It sets you on a journey over a period of time. Some people think they’ve arrived and succeeded the day they start their business or the day they get married or the moment they start any new endeavour in life. These people neglect to realize that it’s just the start, that it’s a process.

When we begin a new venture, having a vision reminds us that the journey has just begun. In fact, it tells us that we are on a course towards a destination. It may be a long and winding road and there will be obstacles and challenges along the route, but a vision will keep us on track, because it reminds us that we are on a journey towards a destination. Author Joseph Murphy once said, “We go where our vision is.”

Without a strong vision, hindrances will come along and drag us off course. peter_irvine.jpgYou may have heard of this ancient proverb: “If you chase two rabbits, both will escape.” So pay attention to one goal at a time. One of the most important principles in both our life and our business is that we must be focused on what we are doing so that we actually catch the right rabbit. In business, unless you have a strong focus on your vision, distractions that look like wonderful opportunities will tempt you away from what you are meant to be doing. You will spend your time on those distracting activities and yet they will not produce the right results for you.
