Did you know that satisfaction is the number one emotion



people want to experience about their life and business?

Yes, fame and fortune are up there, but satisfaction is

the key. Satisfaction is about contentment, gratitude and

pure joy. Are you satisfied with your business and your

life? If not, read on and see how you can transform your

life in the simplest method possible.

To be satisfied is to enjoy each step along the way, to

be able to integrate the practical with the fanciful, to

continually refine your dream or vision.

You need a vision for your business. You had it at least

once in your life, especially if you chose to go into

business for yourself. You may be making the money

that you want, have fame in your community, but still

are unhappy and wonder - "Is that all there is?"

If you are in any way unhappy or dissatisfied with your

life or your business, you need to re-ignite your original

vision or create a new one. But wait, you say, you already

have a business plan. Isn't that sufficient for your

business success?

Why Isn't a Business Plan Enough?

A business plan is for banks and credit institutions, but

outcomes are based more on desire than on business

plans. Vision with a Capital V? is bigger than a business

plan. The difference is, if your vision is not articulated,

you cannot include it in your business plan.

Who Besides Me Benefits from My Business Vision?

Customers know when you have a clear, passionate

business vision. The benefits clients, customers and

vendors receive are a result of your clarity about the

dream of your business. The more you can relate your

vision to your family and community, the more you can

excite everyone. More excitement attracts the customer

of your dreams.

Lance Armstrong wanted to win the Tour de France. Once

he achieved this goal, his vision was to win more Tour de

France's than anyone. He did just that; he created a World

Record of six wins. What he also did benefited the country

of France, even though he is an American. France's

tourist dollars increased. American television advertising

grew as more people tuned into these races. Armstrong's

battle with cancer increased donations to the American

Cancer Society. Benefits abounded for anyone connected

to bicycle riding, including manufacturers and sports

clothing providers.

Do Independent Professionals and Micro Businesses Need

a Vision Too?

Definitely! Independent professionals and micro businesses

require the clarity of a vision. Martha Stewart started

small. She was a caterer after she completed her career

as a model. A product of her times, the 1950's, Martha's

first thought was to make a home look warm and inviting.

As a great cook, Martha created elegant, well-designed

meals and events. She had her vision for success.

When Martha Stewart dreamed well into the future, she

had a vision of a conglomerate business, with far-reaching

rewards. She created Omni Media, with her own magazine,

television shows and products; all sold worldwide. From

small business visions, big business visions grow. Even in

prison, Martha continued to expand her Vision with a Capitol

V to include two new television reality shows. Martha

never stops expanding her Vision with a Capital V?.

You now have the key to your business future, the joy that

can make your efforts worthwhile. You will also achieve

fame and fortune as an outcome, but satisfaction is the

key. Be satisfied with yourself. Create a Vision that helps

move you forward.

Enjoy yourself, your business and your life.
