The Power of Vision
Anthony Robbins "Rapid Planning Method" Time of Your Life Program
How do you detail your vision? First, admit you have an idea of your best life. If you have been adulting for any time, you know the world is good at suppressing your dreams. It's time to believe like a kid again; anything is possible. You have a vision, and it is incredible because it's uniquely yours. Don't compare your life with anyone else's, and don't let anyone else make you second guess your vision. What are you passionate about? What would you do every day if you had all the money and time in the world? Take your time and write down a compelling vision that makes you want to start now. Remember, success is 80% psychology and only 20% skill. That means success does not begin with how but rather what and why. What do you want, and why must you have it? The answer is your vision. Once you have it written down and made it juicy, keep it front of mind daily.
Continued success and failure cycles are both fueled by momentum. The process begins with how much you believe in your potential to get the result that fuels your actions, and the result informs your belief to try again. A downward cycle starts with a limited view of your potential to get the result, so you take half-hearted action and fail to get the result that confirms your little belief. A success cycle starts with overwhelming confidence; you have the potential to get the result pushing you to take massive action and receive outstanding results reinforcing the belief that you can do it repeatedly. You can change either cycle by changing your mindset, also known as your vision. Success in anything requires an outstanding idea pushing you to take definitive action. Your image must be so strong that it sets a standard for taking extraordinary action.
Only after creating a juicy vision can you make a life plan using Tony Robbins' Magnificent Seven for Unstoppable Momentum Pyramid. At the top is your ultimate dream, followed by your ultimate purpose. Together they create the "What" and "why" that will push you forward even through the darkest times. To juice your momentum, you need to create fun, inspiring roles for yourself and what you are doing. Here you get to create a job title that makes you proud and excited. Next, identify the top three areas to focus on if all else fails. You must be willing to work in these areas even if you are exhausted and only have 15 more minutes before you pass out. Next, compile all resources that can help you reach your goals. You already have everything you need to get at least started. If you still need to, your journey begins with getting these resources. Your vision will help you be creative and resourceful. Finally, use all you have put together to create a 1-year or 90-day result and the action items required.
Goal setting is where your vision will become real. If you dream of owning a million-dollar house, an excellent 1-year goal could be to set aside $100 dedicated to your future home. Remember, every step will not be clear when you start. But if you wait for every light to be green, you will be waiting forever. Taking action toward your vision today is more critical, especially if you genuinely believe you will accomplish it. Your first goal is to juice up the potential for your idea to come true. An excellent 90-day plan could be to find people who were in your situation but now has what you want. They may be the resource you need to accomplish your vision, and it gives you hope that you can take similar action. Compelling goals will increase your belief and create momentum in your success cycle. Take the time to make your life plan and then take that first action item.
Remember when you first had the idea to start your entrepreneurial journey? Think about how excited you were to do anything that would put you one step closer. If you did take even the most minor step, you most likely met with resistance. Perhaps someone you love told you it was a bad idea, or your belief waivered once you started putting some pieces together. Tony Robbins is saying that the point of failure was way back at the idea stage. You may have left that stage too early and didn't make it powerful enough to overcome everything that comes after it. The good news is that if you opened your eyes today, you could start the process over. Start back with that idea that got you excited in the first place and feed it. Make it so strong that no matter what, you will create that vision you have in your head.
Do this exercise today, right now, if you can. Identify your ultimate vision, purpose, roles, resources, and goals. Create an idea so powerful that you have to give it everything you got, nothing short of great action. If nothing else, you will make progress and better your life every step of the way. Start today!
