Show the Vision
Show the Plan. Give people a direction to follow.
Here it is the last in my blog series where I reinterpret the words of Chris Matthews from his November 7, 2011 Time Magazine article, “Five Things JFK Could Teach Obama”.
The last thing mentioned that JFK could teach Obama was to “Show the Vision”. This is all so important because it gives people a purpose. Kennedy showed his dreams up front in the Peace Corps, the space program and in nuclear-arms control. In Showing the Plan (STP) he painted a picture about the direction he wanted to take the country. Your STP does not have to be that big, but it must be bigger than you are now and it must make people stretch.
Looking into the future is not something that everyone does or even thinks about with any degree clarity. Yeah sure everybody thinks about what kind of place they would like to live in or what kind of car they would like to drive or how to contribute to their retirement fund. That’s not what I am talking about I am talking about vision which is all together different. I’m talking about seeing into the future and forming a plan which will affect not only you, but others in your ever growing circle of influence. The bigger your vision the bigger your circle of influence will grow.
In network marketing your vision will make you a leader. How big a leader will depend on how big your vision. This can be something as simple as aspiring to the top position in your company. Of course the vision required for that promotion is far reaching and encompasses the aspirations of many other IBOs (Independent Business Owners). Without a doubt your vision has to be beneficial to others because if you don’t help others you will not get where you want to go. A different way to say that is you have to share the vision.
Share the Plan (STP) is the first step in network marketing vision building. This is where newbies first get to see the unlimited potential that this industry holds for individuals. In what other endeavor could someone go from nothing to financial freedom in a relatively short period of time. STP and people will see what they have to do from distribution of products and services to the welcoming of new members to their organization. I know in my business STP is essential for growth.
Vision gives people hope. They see the possibilities that the future holds and it excites them. Excited people take action. In your organization give people vision and just watch how business grows.
My vision has me helping six other people to reach financial independence in the next five years. Tell me what your vision entails and put it down in the comment section below.
