Sometimes, it’s the simplest things that really strike home for me. The suggestion to write our visions in present tense… what affirmation that brings. To view what we are to do as though we have already done it? Outstanding. I’ve come to sense a difference in those who believe in God and those who believe in God’s plan. Those who already trust in the outcome are much more ready to act. Thank you for an inspiring post, Michael.

Thank you.

Joe, I am already doing some of this sometimes… but I know that I need to be more consistent! I’ll let you know the outcome as I become more consistent. I have not commited to reading my vision daily that will be a new experience.

While I understand your interest with vision, I would counter that much of your vision was really strategy.
Here are some examples:

We have ten “franchise authors” whose new books sell at least 100,000 copies in the first 12 months.
We have ten “emerging authors” whose new books sell at least 50,000 copies in the first 12 months.
In my view these statements are as much about strategy as they are about vision.

This is a great example of Proverbs 16:9 “a man’s heart determines his way and God gives him the steps”. Thanks for your posts Michael, I always find something each week that helps my productivity.

The 7 recommendations at the bottom are so practical and necessary! I have been taking a break from the computer for my first draft of anything, and have picked up a pen and journal instead. The difference is astounding, especially when I sit in an environment that is inspirational. There is something so liberating about scratching down thoughts and drawing arrows and doodles that keeps our vision fresh.

This is great stuff you’re giving and a wonderful reminder to me. My vision was clear and
the plan did develop during the year I spent in Vietnam. As you know there is no greater commander than Jesus Christ. No military person or anyone else accomplished what he planned and completed for His glory.
He was with me as I struggled through being a combat infantry soldier. This book is set
to come out shortly, for everyone to read about His protection during trying times.
His strengthening my visions was essential. I know your time is precious however you
will like my my web site at http://www.throughmyeyesthebook.com
Keeping my vision is what took me to this place and to the complete accomplishment of this
goal. Thank you for giving us your insight……Bob Whitworth

[...] January 27, 2012 in Create with 0 Comments “Through the years, I had learned that if you think about strategy (the “how”) too early, it will actually inhibit your vision (the “what”) and block you from thinking as big as you need to think. What you need is a vision that is so big that it is compelling, not only to others, but to you. If it’s not compelling, you won’t have the motivation to stay the course and you won’t be able to recruit others to help you.” – Michael Hyatt [...]

This morning, I had an interesting coaching call with a client. We spent significant time discussing the power of vision in the process of creating the best life imaginable. Envisioning a better future requires one accept responsibility for the life he/she has now. This responsibility represents the freedom to choose one’s response to the current situation and to change or modify that reality. While vision is the starting point, responsible action is the key to brining that vision to life.

This principle should be applied to Washington; a gov’t in decline & denial, strategizing only how to keep their jobs, rather than do their jobs by envisioning a debt free healthy and wealthy America in 5-10 years.

Michael have you had time to check out the link? If you have, what did you think. I am working on a new one that was inspired from your article titled, “Do you have sight or vision?’ From all the comments that you have received vision is a huge topic.

Thanks,
