02/03 DWC+ Teleclass: Focus on Your Vision with Colette Ellis

1. Focus on Your Vision: A Positive, Practical Approach to Achieve Your Biggest
Dreams … and Get the Results You Really Want!
We’re living in a New Normal:
1. Technology has changed everything we do – all of the emails, tweets, and IM’s have affected the way we
think.
2. We’re being asked to operate on all cylinders, at 100%, on a 24/7 basis.
3. Budgets are tight – we’re all scrutinizing every purchase.
4. The job market is tight – many businesses aren’t hiring, yet most are expecting MORE from their current
employees.
What does this mean? Keeping your head down, doing your work, and hoping your efforts will get recognized
won’t get you to the corner office – not in a corporation and not even in your own business. Yet, the recent shift
in economic and workplace dynamics offers a PERFECT opportunity for you to reevaluate your priorities and
refresh your game plan!
Do you know what it means to have 20/10 vision?
It means being able to see things clearly at 20-feet, that other people can only see while standing 10-feet away.
It’s literally like having a bird’s eye view of the world.
 What would it mean for you to have 20/10 vision in your life?
 Can you think of how much more you could accomplish with this level of attention and motivation?
Four Steps to Develop 20/10 Vision
Clear Your Lens:
Get centered and focus your attention on what’s really important. Track your schedule over the next few days to
see how you really spend your time, and to identify the times of day when you’re in your most focused zone.
Reveal Your True Intentions:
Revealing your true intentions can make it easier to choose between competing ideas, requests or tasks. Think
again about your daily and weekly schedule. Does it reflect your true intentions and priorities; i.e., do you
allocate time to the most important people and/or tasks?
Watch Out for Blind Spots:
Even with the best laid plans, you might encounter situations where you hold yourself back from achieving your
goals, or sometimes just get in your own way. Tune into your self-talk to become aware of the internal messages
you project to yourself.
Envision Your Future:
Imagine your world as it will be when you have fulfilled your true intentions. Write down positive affirmations
and keep visual reminders to stay motivated throughout the year.
