Winning The Game: How a Big Vision Road Map Can Help Your Business

October 19th, 2009 by Jennifer Bourn | No Comments
Winning The Game: How a Big Vision Road Map Can Help Your Business

how a big vision road map can help entrepreneurs reach their business goalsHow are you going to get where you want to go if you don’t know where that is? How will you know what actions to take if you don’t have a clear vision of what you want to accomplish? How do you know your short-term goals will help you move forward and toward your big, long-term goals?

The answer to all of these questions starts with your Big Vision Road Map.

Your big vision isn’t just a guide to knowing when to say to say no, make a change, or say yes. It is also a fantastic tool to help you stay motivated and track your continual progress.

Simply breaking your high-level vision down into several smaller, incremental steps, can help you change your mindset from “How am I ever going to accomplish all that?” to “I can totally do that!”

Think of it like the game of Sorry.

With Sorry, your objective is to get all of your pieces to your home base first. So when playing the game, you strategize and plan, making a little progress toward your goal on each turn. Eventually, one at a time, you get each piece to your home base and accomplish your objective.

With your big vision, your objective is to achieve all of your individual tasks and goals to make your vision a reality. So when working on your business, you strategize and plan, making a little progress toward your goal each time you achieve something or complete a task. Eventually, step-by-step, all the pieces are moved into place and your big vision becomes a reality.

Want to know one more similarity between making your big vision a reality and playing a game?

THEY BOTH ARE FUN! While both do require strategy, planning, and evaluating the competition and beating them to the next move, they both also can be very rewarding and fun.

Here are a few of my secrets to keeping the journey to my big vision fun:

  • Break down your big vision into several smaller parts so it isn’t so overwhelming
  • Assign progressive tasks and goals to each of the smaller parts, laying out a plan of action
  • Acknowledge the big vision, but focus on getting the smaller tasks and goals done one at a time
  • Check each small accomplishment off my big vision to-do list, showing myself the progress I am making
  • Celebrate the completion of each and every task and goal to reward myself for the hard work and make the journey more fun
  • Invite others to join in your journey as accountability partners and help you celebrate your goals

Do you have any tips to make the journey toward our big visions more fun and rewarding? If so, please leave a comment. I’d love to hear about it!
