I have a detailed picture of my own future. When I say detailed, I mean it: I had my graphics team create a New York Times–style front page, complete with several stories about our future company and what we’re up to twenty-five years from now. I included awards I’ve won, revenue numbers, and pictures of my future office (stock photos of happy professionals working together). The specificity makes it real. I can open up that PDF and read future stories of what my team’s up to.
