Using Vision to add Depth and Excitement to Your Projects

Your life is not an island, yet often we treat each goal, project or task as if we are reinventing the wheel. Save yourself time, stay focused and connect the dots of your life by using your annual priorities as the necklace on which to place each bead.


This year I am having so much fun tapping into my priorities and keeping the vision I created when I went through The Foundation Course in mind. Each month and each week I set aside a few minutes to create a platform for future success.

This month I took this a step further as I explored how to attain one of my monthly goals/priorities. My goal is to really fine tune The Foundation Course and make it a kick ass course. Now don't get me wrong it's already pretty amazing but I love making things even better. One of my mantra's for this year that I uncovered when I did The Foundation Course is "What would 100% look like?" Time and energy do not necessarily permit me to always give 100% to everything but it's important to me for whether I do or not to be a conscious decision rather than a compromise I have to make when I try to squeeze in too much or run out of steam.

How I applied my annual priorities to making The Foundation Course even more amazing!

• First of all I created my own wish list for The Foundation Course. What would I like to do that would make it 100% amazing. On this list I wrote some great ideas such as recording an orientation and welcome, texting reminders instead of jamming up participants email boxes, put together a list of FAQ's for anyone who is interested, creating a virtual victory board for the participants to post their wins as well as about 15 other items.

• Then I pulled out the heavy artillery! I looked at my annual priorities and explored how I could honor them with this project. My priorities are Authenticity, family and success. I discovered some great ways to honor them within The Foundation Course. I realized it was really important to me that the participants leave with a touchstone to guide them. Within the course there are at least three different ways to do this and I decided that guiding and supporting them with this was extremely important to me. It honors authenticity for me because this is the whole point of the program. This was also a new aha moment for me which I would have missed if I hadn't brought in the heavy artillery. I did the same thing with my other two priorities and really fleshed out the possibilities.

As you can see keep focused on your vision and honoring your values and priorities can open up new possibilities and really get your juices flowing. Even projects that on the surface seem mundane and dry can be given a new lease of life when you approach them from this perspective.
