Remember when you first started your new business?
You were excited and raring to go! You printed business
cards, you created a business name and decided how much
money you wanted to make. Then there was the honeymoon
period. You were excited to get out of bed in the morning,
get to your computer, make those appointments and follow
up with new clients.
Then you found yourself tired, cranky and discouraged
with the way things were going:fewer and fewer
appointments, less energy and even less enjoyment with
what your business is.
What happened?
What happened is that you did not have a vision for your
business. What is a business vision and why do you need
one, you ask? A business vision is how your business not
only impacts you, but also the world. With a business vision everything
you do each and every day supports you to go
forward, achieve what you want, yet still benefit others.
Simple visions are the best. The easier they are to
communicate to someone, the more essential they
become to you and your business. You need a vision
to be more effective, more desirable and more attractive
to your clients or customers. Clarity is the key in a
simple vision. Yet, a simple vision can be very profound.
Remember Mother Teresa? She just wanted to help the
poor, and she ultimately became a saint in the Roman
Catholic Church. It all started with a simple vision:
easy to communicate to others and her willingness
to do whatever it took to get her vision seen and
heard by others.
So will you. You too will get your vision heard and seen
by others.
Joanne’s Vision Gem
"With a true business vision, all your decisions are
easily made, because all your decisions are in alignment
with your vision."
"What Am You Going to Do Today?"
When you wake up and get out of bed and ask yourself,
"What am I going to do today?" the existence of a
business vision reduces this ever-present stressful question.
Everything you do, the people you talk to, the clients you
attract are all a result of your vision. Why? You have
strategies to support your vision.
The more powerful and vivid the Vision, the more
opportunities occur to create the strategies to build
your business success.
Real Vision is about the Dream: it is what you truly want
your business to be. Vision with a Capital V™ is about
the impact your business will have on your community,
the world and your life.
It is about the relationship with yourself, of how you
see yourself.
It is how you want your business to be seen by others.
The value of having a vision is to know what difference
you can make in peoples’ lives.
Stop thinking small and start thinking big. Why?
Joanne’s Vision Gem:
"You will never have the professional and personal
success you desire unless you have a far-reaching vision
for your business and your life."
Remember, to keep your life and business a success, a
vision is vital. A clearly defined business vision will
consistently support you to get out of bed each and every
day with a purpose in mind. Create your business vision,
a Vision With a Capital V, and see your life expand.
Business Vision And Mission
The seed of your idea was planted long ago. Many storms have come to buffet your seed and the soil surrounding it. The sun of great days came to encourage it to grow. In the end you began to realize there was substance to your dream and the fruit being developed was ripe for the picking. You picked because you knew what to do with the fruit.
This is the point when web development becomes the logical next step. The role of this process is to share your vision. Face it, you understand your vision, the concepts unique to the dream and how others might benefit from what you have to offer. Your web design can welcome others to the party.
This is the point where wannabes are separated from the true visionaries. This is where business branding comes into play. This is the process that asks you to boil down, condense and extract the vital elements of your dream and remain so in control of the vision that you can breathe life into the idea in every phase of your site development.
Some potential business owners will err when they determine to move forward with an ill-defined concept and hope that it works out for them. The truth is it's almost impossible to sell a concept and instill trust when you really don't know what you are doing. It is difficult to be convincing when you're still trying to learn the ropes.
Most consumers will pass on a product if the salesperson can't adequately explain what the product does, how it helps the average consumer and whether the product exhibits exceptional quality.
I don't know about you, but I will happily go to a more expensive computer store to purchase components than to go into a department store where I am greeted by someone who has yet to take their SAT or ACT. More often than not they have general knowledge about computers. After all they are a generation that has known nothing but computers. However, they may not be able to deal in specifics and that's the kind of information I need.
This is the picture of how business owners approach web design. They can be highly specific and have worked hard to so completely understand their objectives that they become natural leaders in the advancement of their dream. They can also be somewhat wishy washy about where they're headed and set things up to resemble something akin to a cyber lemonade stand. There might be the occasional pity buy, but no one seriously believes they are a connoisseur of lemons.
Can you so identify with your dream that you could explain your vision in one well-defined moment, or would it require scattered bits and pieces of thought over a long period of time to catch a glimpse of your dream?
Take time to become friends with your dream. The result will be a web development project that really connects with both you and your customers.
