Working to a vision

We talked about Vision last. How to exactly achieve that vision? Remember that the vision statement provided could be by others and you have with you your imagination and creativity.

You need to prepare yourself for that. Most important is that you understand the vision fully as I told in my last writeup. Next thing is that you concentrate on something before actually working on your design. If you want to be successful, prepare a step by step implementation plan. Defence forces do it, mountaineers do it and sports person do it. And this something is called as *Mission Statement*.

A mission statement shall focus on various steps needed for delivering the works to achieve the vision. A mission statement will get you clarity on the processes you need to do for achieving your goals. Note down whatever associated with the targets comes to your mind. Sequence the steps in a logical manner. Build checks and flexibility in the steps to startover again should you find things not going perfect. Make room for improvements as you move towards writing final steps. Bring elements of joy and pride associated with milestones of your mission statement ensuring that you like what you do. Keep failure as an option and write steps for plan B in case things fail. Review your mission statement twice after you think it is final. Make final adjustments and keep a printout of it in front of your work place. And if you put some time and resources against step, you will have a great mission statement at your hands.

Working to a clear vision with a mission does not guarantee success always but thats the best route to be successful. There are two other elements which you will need to be sure shot successful. 🏆

We will discuss that later...... next time. Or somebody from our group can guess those two things. Try it...
