How To Execute Your Vision

8 guaranteed ways to execute your vision

Planning a vision is a fun and engaging task of the goals for the future. This is the easy part though. Executing a vision is by far the hardest part. What stops people from not executing their vision is a variety of different reasons. For example, procrastination, focusing on non-essential tasks and giving up because they didn’t get the results they wanted straight away.

Attaining the goal isn’t the problem, people are. We as humans are amazing at problem-solving and adapting to pretty much any situation. We are also our own worst enemy when it comes executing difficult outcomes. Not because we can’t do it. It’s how our irrational emotional part of our brain reacts to it which can be ever-changing.

For me to complete a vision I set out to achieve. I have to be laser focussed on what I have to do but open-minded to changing the plan to execute the vision in a better way. It’s having the willpower to not get distracted and dis-hearted by the challenges you face. However to remain optimistic and have the self-control to stick by it.

There have been many examples of people executing their vision from Elon Musk to Jeff Bezos, both self-made billionaires. They both set out with a clear vision directive of their goals and through all their setbacks they didn’t stop they just found better ways to complete their goals.

Achieve Your Vision

With that, I have put together some of the essential things you need to execute your vision. Hopefully, by now you know exactly what you want to achieve. It could be, to achieve a healthy body, open your own business or travel around the world. Whatever your vision is means something to you and with these exciting strategies I hope you can find answers to carry you on to your final destination for achieving your vision.

How To Execute Your Vision

Think About It Everyday

Your vision has to consume you and be part of your conscious and subconscious throughout your day. This is what separates people from executing their vision and not. Just look at athletes and teams in sports. For example, the Liverpool and Manchester City team are breaking record after record. These teams and players are in a culture where their vision is clear. They understand what they have to do and that’s all-out hard work and working smart to get to their destination. If this seems to difficult for you, achieving greatness will be a difficult challenge. Not because you can’t do it, it’s because you won’t do it.

Have It Somewhere You Can See

You can’t execute your vision if you can’t see it. That’s why it has to be in as many places a possible so it stays centred on your mind at all times. Have it in your bedroom, bathroom, office, car or on your phone. Your vision should excite you whatever it is and every time you see your vision it should keep you on track to execute the goal.

Believe It Will Happen

With your vision, you have to believe it’s going to happen and more importantly in the mind, it’s already happened. The way I’ve heard someone explain this is to look at your vision like a movie. You’ve planned and created it. Then you sit back and watch it. Just like your goals. Create it and you execute it by watching it unfold. I like this as it shows to me the vision has already been completed, it’s a done deal and all I have to do is walk the pathway towards it.

Speak It Into Existence

To execute your vision, you’re going to have speak it into existence by how you tell the story to yourself and others. Tell yourself every day it’s already happened and visualise it in your mind that’s it’s already done. Seeing yourself at the final step. Then tell as many people as you can about your vision. This will hold you accountable and make it feel real like it’s happening instead of something you wish will happen behind closed doors. These supporters of your vision will spur you on and any haters you can use that as fuel too.

Execute The Why

Make sure you know your WHY, like the back of your hand and so does everyone around you who’s helping you achieve your vision. This is the beating heart of your vision and without it, the target will be gone and the endpoint nowhere in sight. Write your why somewhere in your journal or phone and look at it twice daily so you know exactly why you’re working this hard.

Take Action Every Day Even When You Don’t Want To

Execution of your vision comes down to you taking action every day without fail. Hold yourself accountable and self control yourself to stay disciplined to the task. After continuous days of action, it becomes easier and easier to do. It’s the days you stop and start again that are the hardest. Some days you’re going to feel on fire. Body and mind working in harmony but some days your not and your body and mind will start giving you all the excuses in the book to do something more comfortable. You can’t listen to this, you have push on and keep taking action towards your vision.

Don’t Quit, Adjust To Your Surroundings

This is the most important for your vision to succeed. DON’T QUIT! If this happens it’s game over. Self-esteem and negative self-worth take centre stage. We have all quit at something and a terrible feeling it is. This is the easy way but it’s not the right way to go about life. Of course, things don’t work out but when you adjust your plan to a better one that’s when things can change. How many stories have you heard when someone has quit just before success. Too many to count.

Ronald Wayne is a name you probably never heard of but he was the co-founder of Apple in the 1970s. The vision of what Apple was going to be weakened in him because of a disagreement with the steves and he sold his shares for $800. Now they would be worth millions and be part of one of the biggest company’s in the world. The lesson learned here is don’t quit just adjust to your surroundings towards your vision. If your going to quit, quit after you have achieved your vision.

Plan Everything The Night Before

You can’t execute a plan if you don’t know where you’re headed. That’s why it’s important to evaluate the good and the bad every evening. This helps you have a clear plan of action of what you need to do next. Just plodding along expecting your vision to just come your way is not going to happen you have to run towards it dodging all the pitfalls along the way.

Final Thoughts

Now it’s time to execute your vision. However long it takes, you have to stick to it because the feeling you will get once it’s completed will be worth it.

Everyone one of you reading this can complete their vision you just have to believe and find the right path and right people to do it with. That’s how you can quickly navigate towards it. Remember there will be challenges and naysayers along the way. Just learn to enjoy it and treat it like a video game on hard mode and don’t take setbacks so seriously. It’s just the universe giving you feedback on where to aim next.

I hope this helps and would love to hear in the comments below what your vision is and how you are going to execute it.

6 Ways To Create An Epic Vision You Will Complete

By Adam Smith

The Importance Of A Vision

6 ways to create an epic vision you will complete

Why is it that certain people get all the nice things in life and some people don’t? Why is it that some people upgrade their mindset and lifestyle and others just stay where they are? It’s all down to what we think about and what we believe is true about ourselves and what we want to become. Will the future be 100% accurate? Of course not but the chances are far greater if you visualise what you want to become than if you do not.

When creating your vision make sure you find out what makes you happy and not what makes other peoples happy. When it’s your vision it will mean so much more to you and you will want it to happen so much more. A great source of happiness is serving others. So within your vision finding a place where you can serve others is a great way to bring your vision more purpose.

Let’s create your epic vision!

Without vision, you have no direction. Without direction, you have no purpose.

Steve Gilliland

Creating Your Vision

Find Out The Why

After reading Start With Why by Simon Sinek it hit home the importance of WHY when it comes to your vision. Simons best example is Apple on how they market their vision to the consumer compared to the competition. They start with why instead of what. This has transformed them into one of the biggest and well-known brands of all time. Purely because they understand how the why in a vision is so important. When creating your vision having this in mind is super important. Simon says in his book “There are only two ways to influence human behaviour: you can manipulate it or you can inspire it.” So when you’re creating your vision inspire yourself to understand why your doing it and in-turn this will inspire others to buy your products or follow your vision.

Create The Epic Life You Want Then Work Backwards

Once you have found out you’re why now it’s time to work backwards to plan the how and the what. Having the why clear in the mind that the goal has already been achieved, it’s already set in stone. Now I just need to get there. Having this mentality towards your vision means you have a clear target and all you have to do is find the correct path towards it changing the how and the what as you go along.

For example, if your vision is to travel to every country around the world in 5 years because you want to achieve the unthinkable. (is the why) Then the how is planning exactly how to do it, the understanding of what you have to do to achieve it can be altered at any time to allow you to achieve your vision that never moves.

Create A Vision Board

To keep your goal on track and focused on your mind. Creating a vision board is a must. This can be as small or as big as you want that can be put anywhere from your bedroom to your office. Having it in your face every day keeps the conscious and subconscious brain active in completing the vision. You can create one vision at a time and all the stuff you have to do to get there or you can create a timeline with all the targets you want to achieve along the way. Get creative and make this something that inspires you every day and anyone who sees it too.

Create An On The Move Vision Statement

If you’re always on the move working or travelling. A vision board might not always be practical. So with techniques, I learned from Jack Canfield in the book Success Principles. Having small cards with your goals can help you visualise the vision on the move. This helps you stay on track so your busy schedule throughout the day doesn’t get in the way. For a more visual aesthetically pleasing experience creating your vision with a blank page book that you can take around with you in your bag. Can help you imagine and keep track of your goal on the move.

Plan For Setbacks

With every goal, you undertake it will never be achieved in a straight line. This is what most people expect that the plan you set out will be executed perfectly without any change. From my experience, this is far from the truth. There’s always something that sets you back when going after your vision. It’s either somebody has quit the project I now have to take over or I completely misjudge what was needed to achieve the goal.

What makes people quit their vision is being underprepared mentally for setbacks to happen. When they do happen they look at themselves as failures, which is far from the truth. It’s just a normal setback that happens all the time. When preparing to take on your vision, understand things are going to go wrong and that’s OK. You just need to come up with a new solution to put you back on course. Expect setbacks, then get excited about overcoming them and treat it like a game on hard mode.

A Mission Statement You Can Easily Tell Anyone

When creating a vision you have to be able to explain it to yourself and others so it can be understood. This can be the difference from you achieving your goal to sponsors wanting to invest in your project or not. Tesla mission statement is: “To accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy.” and Ted Talks is “To spread ideas.” Both you can clearly understand what they set out to do and both are super simple in how they explain it so there is no confusion. So when you’re creating your mission statement make sure it’s concise and easy to understand.

Final Thoughts

These strategies above have helped me create my vision and i hope these 6 ways to create an epic vision you will complete. Can help you achieve it too. When you are creating something for yourself. You feel alive especially if it’s something your passionate about. So set aside a part of your to create and develop your epic vision today.
