How to Think Bigger: Aim Higher, Get More Motivated, and Accomplish Big Things

by Martin Meadows

When writing your vision, go into deep details of what you want to achieve. Describe not only the achievement itself, but also how it makes you feel and what kind of a person you’ve become while working on it. The more senses and perspectives the vision will contain, the more powerful it will be. Here’s an example of a weak sentence in a vision: I own a multi-million dollar business that is the leader in the industry. Here’s an example of how you can fix it: I own a multi-million dollar business that is known for the passion it brings to the market. It brings a smile to my face just to think about it. Whenever I speak with my employees and partners, I’m fired up and feel immense hunger to improve our products and make the lives of our clients even easier. There’s nothing in the world I love doing more than speaking with our clients and learning from their feedback. The constant growth makes me a better person and positively affects the lives of my wife and children. After writing the first draft of your vision, each time you read it again, the motivational effect will get weaker – until it mostly serves as a reminder of your goals with a slight motivational boost.
