What is Vision?

WHAT IS VISION?

Everything starts with vision. Vision is the process that brings imagination to creation. Every function, everything that is, was created from something that wasn't there. The founder is visionary. You possess this power, and can use it as you wish. It is my vision that in one year you can take what you have learned from this book and make a positive and significant difference in your life and the lives of others. This book is a pathway for you to start authoring your vision and achieving your victory. You will learn many elements of vision and how you can author success in your own life. Remember, you did not fill out an application to be on this earth. You don't have to make installment payments, good days or bad; life is a gift and so is vision. This gift of vision is not an accident. It is a perpetual and dynamic resource for everyone to access. Much of this resource is utilizing the power of time. We are given a certain amount of time to enjoy and even struggle, but the experience of this existence we were given freely to create. Vision allows us the right and freedom to form the end-results that we choose to bring into existence.

Vision proves that all things are possible. Thousands of concepts that are common today were once considered utterly impossible, completely absurd, and unattainable. Imagine the laughter and mockery that you would have experienced 150 years ago if you discussed the idea of carrying multitudes of people across the globe in a metal shell with wings, traveling thousands of miles in only hours, or talking to someone from a great distance with a handheld wireless device. There are so many great discoveries and inventions that are not that impressive today, because we have learned to look beyond. Those are just glimpses of what vision is capable of achieving.

Clearly the successes that are going to exist tomorrow are not seen today, but someone's vision will bring them into play. Why not yours? Throughout this pathway, you will discover how you can apply this visionary process today. It is a guarantee that new visions will foster new creations, because you have been granted access to all the elements of the universe. The exponential combinations of these elements tied to energy have yet to be tapped. Uncountable, great things are in store as these combinations are tested. There is complete evidence that anything we get excited about today from microwaves, to computers, to cell phones, to jet planes were created by the tools that have existed all along. They were created by a combination of vision and time. Without vision, time would not have brought them into existence. By seeking the elements and energy in a visionary fashion, you are playing a much more confident and stronger position in the creations in your life. You can specifically create your desired intentions of the future by engaging in the visionary planning of today. The point is that the success you are going to have tomorrow is waiting for you to call upon its structure. Why not be clear and declare whatever more you wish for yourself. It's waiting for you to claim. That's the power of vision.

THE VISIONARY FORMULA

Einstein was considered a genius. Millions marveled at Einstein's ability to make complex astrophysical formulas short and simple. The most widely known example is E=MC2. When astrophysicists and NASA do formulas with respect to rockets ships, the movement of asteroids, the development of solar systems, and the universe in general if E doesn't equal MC2, it is generally believed to be incorrect. The relativity of this visionary process is simple. It is designed to help you follow visionary steps to achieve the end result. Deviating can cause your theory or approach to be incorrect. You will witness a visionary formula that we believe, will massively improve your visionary success. Those who take part in the process can advance themselves to a higher state of existence personally and professionally while having a positive effect on the lives of others.

Vision has a simple formula that can solve the complexities of your life and make it marvelous.

Vision = the definable intention from which preparation is formed.

In other words, you have to begin with the end result. What is your definable intention? Then you make the preparation to get there. I will discuss this further as we move along the visionary pathway. First, I would like to go back to the beginning and tell you how I discovered vision, how I know it is the key to victory, and how everyone, including you, can achieve magnificent results with this God-given tool.

DISCOVERING VISION

When I was a teenager I started writing specific numerical results. No one told me to do it, and I didn't own any kind of business. It was just my nature to write down results. You may even call them goals. I wrote them for years to come. It was fun because I was free to enjoy the idea and relish in the possibility.

Later in life I experienced vision through other people, including my good friend John Hewitt. John was the instrumental force behind Jackson Hewitt and now Liberty Tax Service. One thing about John is that he believed anything was possible. I know because I experienced it. He believed that when he wanted to do something better, he could. He illuminated results long before the process. John was very magnetic in getting people to believe in what he was trying to accomplish. He was great at looking at things from different perspectives, including math. He could analyze a problem with different approaches and explain each successful end result. He was very good at explaining that the end results were attainable and connecting people to his vision. He was also very good at having people do what they are good at and utilizing their best talents. From a visionary perspective, I think his biggest asset was that he believed he could be the best at something and he was willing to put in the time. Nothing was unattainable to him. My experience with John was not only influential, but also inspiring.

When I began working for a national corporation, they required the following year's budget five months in advance. The common practice among my colleagues was to prepare a mild increase in growth and profit. So naturally I fell into the groove that single digit increases in growth and profit were acceptable, and therefore my objective. After my first year it dawned on me; why can't I write a better future with a more aggressive budget, a bigger number, and then make the preparations?

Being naïve and in my early 20's, I did not realize all the obstacles in the way of hitting double-digit increases. Most of my peers laughed. In fact, I felt they were pulling against me because I was rebelling against the commonality that modest increases were acceptable. Because I was following a formula, writing numbers was simple. Where was the obstacle? Who was holding my arm back? It was easy to...
