Setting the 3-year vision

Last week I invested a lot of time in establishing my personal and professional vision for 2016.

Chatting to a friend on Tuesday morning he commented that on trying the same, he found himself staring at a blank sheet and suffering a form of writer’s block. Nothing happening.

So his question was “what do I need to do to kick-start myself into this vision process?”

I asked him to use his pen and journal and construct two columns on a page as follows:

Personal

1. Self

2. Family

3. Social

4. Physical

5. Intellectual

6. Spiritual

Professional

1. Finances

2. Marketing

3. The Patient Experience

4. Operational

5. Team

6. Expansion or Exit-strategy

That done, I asked him to add a main heading to the top of the page.

31st December 2018

His assignment is to fashion a paragraph under each of the 12 categories, describing what he wants his life to look like on that date.

That’s how to set a 3-year vision.
