Is your vision of success being fulfilled?

If you think back to when you first started your business—or better yet when you first conceived the idea—you may have had a great vision about what it would mean to you and how you could fill a need for your customers or community. The question now is: Are you realizing those dreams and is your vision of success being fulfilled?

One of the most difficult things for any of us to do is look out beyond our immediate horizon and imagine what can be. It’s even harder to paint that picture in such vivid detail and bright colours that it becomes a source of daily motivation and constant inspiration.

Most successful people are motivated by their own vision of success. Some make great sacrifices to give the best to their kids, others to buy their first house. We are moved by the stories of ordinary people facing enormous adversity. The common thread among these stories of determination is that people are strongly motivated by the clarity of their vision and purpose.

In this chapter of our Timeless Principles for Exceptional Businesses, Jim Robertson, TAB facilitator in Texas encourages business owners to think strongly if their business is allowing them to realise the dreams they had when they first started out.
