Not many people have a vision for their life.Not many people have a vision for their lives. They go from day to day doing the same thing every day, going to a job they think is okay. They do the same things and wonder why they don’t feel satisfied with their lives! Have you ever thought there must be more to life than this? I know I have and that’s why I started my coaching journey. I was doing the same things day in and day out and I just didn’t find anything exciting and I didn’t know how I could get out of it because of the routines I had built up. It’s been a journey and I’ve had ups and downsSo one day I broke down, there were other factors too and if you go back to episode 1 of the Inspiration Nation podcast you will know where this is coming from if you’ve not listened just click here! It got so bad that in the end I got so fed up with the situation that I had to change things. So I found coaching and it really did open my eyes to what is possible. When I look back at my journey I can see my first blog was created in April 2011. That’s almost 9 years ago as I write this blog. It’s been a journey and I’ve had ups and downs but I’ve always had faith and a commitment to coaching and now I’m the latest incarnation of Joe 2.0! The difference this time is that I’m much more consistent! To find what gives you the energy you need to try lots of different things.How do you create a vision for your life? You find out what gives you energy. To find what gives you the energy you need to try lots of different things. I recently coached someone who had tried football, martial arts and other things and now they’re creating videos. That’s what they’re good at and gives them energy. So when I went deeper with them into as to the reason they liked creating videos, they then said they want to create a platform and an academy where people of any type could create content. They want to provide people with a scholarship so they wouldn’t have to work and would just dedicate themselves to creating content. The vision was really big, but when we dialled it all back the smallest action to get started was to just start creating videos keeping that vision in mind. Your vision should be hugeStep 1 - So find out what gives you energy then start to write or sketch out what that vision is, what do you want your life to be like? What impact do you want to have on the world? Your vision should be huge and you should imagine there are no barriers like money let your mind go wild with how you want it to be. It should be exciting and scary at the same time! It should be a life long mission without an end! The usual issue is with creating such a vision is that you get scaredThe usual issue is with creating such a vision is that you get scared, you start asking yourself, where will I get the resources? I will never achieve that? The key here is to start with what you’ve got. You have to ask yourself good questions. For example, ask yourself how can I get started in the smallest way possible with the resources I have? If you’re reading this you have access to the internet and a computer so you can start to create! Most of the successful people you look up to probably started with less than you, so use that as inspiration. For instance, I just started writing this blog and set up this website for free, you just have to get creative! Just focus ask yourself good questions and watch your brain come up with ideas. You then have to act on those ideas ASAP! Just promise yourself that you will take that small action and that all the steps you take have in mind the grand vision you have for your life. Step 2 - Is just about getting started. Just promise yourself that you will take that small action and that all the steps you take have in mind the grand vision you have for your life. This grand vision should be so powerful that when you’re doubting yourself you can call on it to pull you through. The reason is you’re on a mission to change the world and make an impact. Others have done it so why not you? When you start taking action the next thing that happens is that you don’t get the results you want. So when you start taking action the next thing that happens is that you don’t get the results you want. Take this blog for instance I’ve probably had one comment over the last year, but I know people are reading it. Does it stop me? No, because every time I write I know it’s practice to get better. I know that I need to get better so people will start engaging with the blog. What you need to do is be proud of yourself for actually following through and remaining consistent! When you keep the promises to yourself that makes you feel better and you start to create momentum which is a master key to success!! |
