10 Guiding Principles to Living Your Vision

Statement & Achieving Success

A vision statement can encompass all areas of your life.

A vision statement of where you want to go in your professional life may

include embarking on a certain career path or achieving specific targets in

your own business.

Always be a professional. Being a professional is not about knowing everything, it’s about being credible.

Keep texture in your life. Don’t set your sights on being a one-

dimensional figure and don’t be too serious about your work.

Surround yourself with positive and forward thinking people.

No one survives alone. Find yourself a mentor and also be a mentor.

Whether you are the mentor or the mentee, you will grow through

the experience.

Encourage don’t criticize. Always look for ways to encourage others in their work.

An individual may not be right for one particular position or department within the company but their skills may allow them to shine in another.

Don’t be over-technical.

Even when you work in a technical environment, always talk to people using appropriate language and avoid being over-technical.

Be an effective communicator.

Communication is key. Recognize that communication can be non-verbal as well as verbal and develop your abilities to communicate effectively on all levels.

Keep moving.

Realize there’s no such thing as a set back. If it doesn’t work out, move on to the next thing.

Live by principles. The world is constantly changing. It’s

not always about the money or the promotions.

Always be true to yourself.

Never sacrifice more than you can afford to lose. Always go with the things that keep you close to your purpose and to who you really are.

When you understand your soul purpose, you understand your destiny in terms of why

you are here and who it is you are here to serve by

using your gifts.
