Foreign I get the pleasure and honor of starting off the new year talking about vision. So before I go into a little bit more about how we do vision and the importance of it, let's go to the basics and understanding what. What's the definition? So what is a vision? Vision is the ability to think about or plan the future with imagination or wisdom. A lot of vision is preparation, right. But it's also using that skill that we, I don't know, get away from as we grow older, which is imagination. Vision has always been something that we like to build off of. It's obviously in our program, as our foundational piece to start. It's what changed everything about who we are and what we do and why we are where we're at today. See, before I understood vision, before I was even challenged to create vision, I realized I didn't know what vision was. I kind of just went with, right. So I was more of a reactive person than a proactive person. If I needed to go make money, well, I just go and find whatever was available for me to earn money. Right. I settled for jobs. I just took what was available at that moment because I never planned, I never really had a target. And for about three quarters of my life now, that was how I lived. And no surprise that I never achieved much in that season. And all this changed about eight and a half, nine years ago. When we first started took up creating vision, I realized that I wanted more in life, but I needed direction and I needed steps that I could own and be held accountable to. And that's what vision does. And that's what we, we're looking to do with you guys within the next couple of weeks. And we've tasked out homework for you guys to begin that process. See, vision has done a lot for us. When we first started creating vision, where I am today was just a dream, was just something that would be nice to have. I didn't believe it much, but I was bold enough to put it out there, stating that I want financial freedom, I want the life I have today. Now, was it easy? No. Did it have its challenges? Absolutely. But what vision did for me, it gave me the opportunity to be laser focused, committed, and to follow the steps that I said I would take to achieve the life that I wanted. See, part of vision is not always the success. It is the enjoyment and the realization of failures or things that you no longer deem valuable. Over the last nine years, a lot has changed in my vision because I am in a different season now. Some things I've achieved some things I completely failed at and some things I pushed off, saying it's no longer important, or maybe I'll take this and I'll deal with this next year, and all that's okay. What I'm trying to say is that there's no perfect vision. It's what you make it out to be. Now, the challenge is, are you going to be honest with yourself or are you just saying things because it might be the politically correct thing to say? Or I'm safe, so let me just play safe. See, for me, the more I put myself out there, the more intimidating, the more challenging the vision seemed to be. It allowed me more room for growth, more room for me to rise and to prove to myself that I'm capable of doing things that I didn't think I could do. So when I look back when I first started vision and where I am today, nine years later, I am by no means an expert, but I do have nine years of metrics to reference to on things that I've achieved, things that I let go, and things that I pushed off knowingly. It really, really helps you to get focused. It really helps you filter through things you think you want versus things you truly want. See, creating vision allows you to make this dream into a reality. That's all I got for you guys. Now we can stop the recording right.
