Your dreams change every night as you process new information and data. Shouldn’t your vision do the same?
Estimated reading time: 4 minutes
Most people have no idea how to define their DREAM or articulate their VISION – much less create a plan to live the life they deserve. I created a framework called Get to No University to help you do that. I am testing myself to see if I can reverse engineer my framework as I pursue my own vision.
Why It Matters:
I want to be able to articulate my vision in a straightforward and concise way. I’m doing that through a repetitive process – a system that I created designed to help me understand and articulate my vision.
- Step One – What Is?
I listen to my Morning Recalibration meditation on my Breethe app and ask myself a series of questions to determine “What is present in my life at this moment?” - Step 2: What If?
When the meditation asks, “If you could live the most aligned life in perfect harmony with the blueprint of your soul, what would that look like?” I stop the meditation, set the timer for 10 minutes, and write a stream of consciousness narrative of my dream. - Step 3: What Now?
When the timer stops, I copy and paste it into Chat GPT and enter the prompt – Write a summary of my vision for today with the three main points or ideas. Based on the summary, I decide on the number one next most important action step.
My Vision for Today – Curated Content Safari
The dream is to establish a successful content creation business that combines curated content safaris in Quincy and Nicaragua, retreats, and a 90-day coaching program, helping participants enhance their pitching and prospecting skills. Participants will have the opportunity to earn commission through sponsorships and user-generated content clients, while enjoying a memorable trip with various excursions and amenities.
- The business model involves charging a flat fee for the retreat and coaching program, with the potential for participants to earn commission through sponsorships and user-generated content clients.
- The program aims to establish partnerships with sponsors, tourism boards, and local businesses, creating a vested interest in the success of the retreats and coaching cohorts.
- A system of accountability and support will be implemented, including daily question submissions, a notification system for quick answers, and rotating cohorts to ensure continuous growth.
Plans vs. Priorities
Based on my vision for yesterday, my next most important first step was to contact a hotel that I know is sourcing UGC creators. I “planned” to find their contact information and send an intro email. But that’s the problem with plans. The best laid plans lead to the biggest disappointments.
I did not complete my Number One Next Most Important Priority yesterday.
Not because I got lazy. Not because I got busy. But because something else popped up that was exponentially more important and more exciting and potentially more profitable in a life changing way. Life changing potential outranked long shot potential.
By setting my Vision for the day, I was able to evaluate whether the potentially game changing email that came in was a distraction or a redirection. I measured based on the VISION and my VALUES, not based on a rigid to do list.
Get to No University: A Framework to Define Your Dream and Pursue Your Vision
Do you have a framework for defining your Dream? Do you know how to clearly and concisely articulate your Vision? I created one and now I am going to test it out. I am going to pursue my vision out loud and be the first student of Get to No University. Let’s see what happens if I take my own advice!
