WHAT THIS IS

This exercise helps you step out of the noise of the present and look ahead with clarity and positive intent.

It draws on Be More Strategic, Chapter 8: Be More Future Focused, Be a Visionary — and is grounded in the idea that every visionary begins by imagining what does not yet exist, then taking deliberate steps toward it.

“If you cannot picture your future, you will always repeat your past.”

This guide invites you to slow down, think deeply, and start creating a picture of the future that inspires you.

WHY IT MATTERS

Being future focused does not mean predicting the future. It means shaping it.

A clear vision gives direction and meaning to your decisions, energy, and attention. It helps you lead yourself and others with purpose, even when the path ahead is uncertain.

People and teams with a strong personal vision:

• Act with greater confidence and focus

• Make better long-term decisions

• Stay grounded when things change

• Inspire others through clarity and conviction
