The Power of Vision: A Thanksgiving Reflection and Looking Ahead to 2025

December 04, 20243 min read

As I sat around the Thanksgiving table this year, I posed what seemed like a simple question to everyone gathered: "What are you thankful for?" The pause that followed was unexpected, not because of a lack of gratitude, but because of its abundance. Like opening floodgates, once we began sharing, the depth of our blessings became beautifully apparent.

Personally, my gratitude runs deep and wide – from fundamental gifts like health and determination to the rich tapestry of relationships with friends, family, and clients. I'm thankful for the educational opportunities that have shaped me, the music that inspires me, and the local businesses that enrich our community. But perhaps what strikes me most is my gratitude for something less tangible: the power of vision and goal-setting in transforming dreams into reality.

A Personal Confession

I'll share something vulnerable with you – I broke my own rule last December. For the first time in years, I didn't create my annual vision board or complete my vision exercise. It wasn't until June that I finally regrouped and reconnected with this crucial practice. The difference was immediate and profound. Looking at my own metrics over the years, there's an undeniable pattern: the years when I fully embrace the vision-setting process are the years I truly soar.

Since recommitting to my process in June, the trajectory has been clear – I'm back to soaring.

The Science Behind Vision and Success

This isn't just personal anecdote – the numbers tell a compelling story. A TD Bank survey revealed that 20% of successful entrepreneurs use vision boards when launching their businesses. Even more striking, 76% reported their progress aligned with their initial vision, and 82% achieved over half their business goals since starting.

The impact of aligned vision and goals goes even deeper. Research shows that companies with highly aligned visions and goals experience:

  • 58% faster revenue growth

  • 72% higher profitability

  • Significantly improved employee engagement

  • Enhanced customer satisfaction

Why Vision-Setting Works

The power of this process lies in its ability to ground and focus us. When we take the time to craft a clear vision and align it with specific goals, we're not just daydreaming – we're creating a roadmap for success. This alignment becomes our north star, guiding decisions and actions toward our desired outcomes.

In my coaching practice, I've witnessed countless transformations through this process. We work methodically through creating and crafting personal visions, aligning them with each client's unique achievement code, and developing actionable plans with robust performance systems to measure, monitor, and adjust progress.

Your Invitation to Growth

As we approach the end of 2023, I invite you to join me in preparing for an extraordinary 2025. It's time to slow down, reflect, and craft the vision that will propel you toward unprecedented growth.
