Your vision is more than just a mission. When you imagine what it would be like to have your goals realized, that's the definition of the word "vision."
The path ahead after achieving success can't always be planned in detail, but having an idea about where one might go or want to take their company allows for creativity and innovation on all levels: from day-to-day operations down to core principles.
Vision also isn’t a strategy; they work hand-in-hand with each other as complementary concepts because while strategies provide direction at any given moment based solely off current information (e.g., how best to spend our time), visions are projections into future possibilities rooted in present realities.

Specificity is the key to your vision. While lofty, you still need it clear so that five independent observers can all come up with the same interpretation.
Keeping your vision simple will help ward off ambiguity and confusion when trying to interpret what you want from people who don't know where this idea came from originally.
The vision needs to be cohesive. Your company's mission statement should align with your vision and goals, while the other aspects of your business should tie into this idea as well.
Imagining a time when you've achieved what was outlined in your strategy is not enough - it must resonate throughout the organization.
As the vision becomes clear to everyone the execution of that vision can be developed. It's important to stay focused on what you want and how your company will get there, rather than being distracted by other things - this is where good leadership skills come into play.
That is the question Robert asks his clients when they come in for a consultation, and it usually surprises them to find out how many people don't have any idea of what their goal even looks like!
They may know that general direction they want to go (to travel more with friends or start saving money) but without specifics on where exactly these dreams will take you, there's no way your journey can be anything short of slow-going at best - if not downright stalled altogether!
You have to decide on a destination. This may sound daunting at first because not only do we live in a world of infinite possibilities but there are also too many options out there that make picking any one thing seem like the wrong choice!
Having a quarterly meeting with all your staff and explain the vision, goals, where is the company going will inspire them to get behind it. It will be more likely to get people through challenging times if they have a clear message and sense of direction.
If they have that clear vision of where they're going everything becomes a bit easier and more cohesive.
Not communicating at all is a big mistake that a lot of business owners do and the issue is if you leave things blank, people will fill in their own communication.
A company can have a clear mission statement but if it is not communicated clearly or executed properly there will be challenges with everyone understanding what needs to be done.
Some of the most influential thought leaders agree that achieving your dreams and goals is completely possible with hard work, focus, and manifestation.
For success with manifestation, you have to set your intention and take active steps towards making the abstract idea come true. a vision board is nothing else than a visual representation of your goals and aspirations.

***And the of course then comes getting people behind those ideas and goals, getting the whole company behind them and it does necessarily has to do with revenue, especially for millennials.
They'll get behind a company because of what they're doing for others and the world rather than just making money, that becomes just a side benefit to them, they want fulfillment, and sometimes leaders don't know how to communicate that properly.
The key is not just defining what you want to do, but who you're going to be while doing it. You need a strong vision in order for that company culture and work ethic to exist, as well as those values of the organization. You can't really fake or force your way through this one.
A vision statement is a set of guiding principles that your employees use to make decisions. It's like a compass that shows the direction you want the company to go in.
Another benefit of a clear vision statement is it can be motivating and inspiring. A real-life example of this is how, as the saying goes, "The best way to predict your future is to create it."
