“First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do.” – Epictetus

In This Episode, We Get Stoic About:

A vision board is usually a collage of images that represent goals and dreams. It can include cut-out pictures from magazines and words that help inspire you to manifest your dreams and get where you want to go. The primary goal of the board is to help us gain self-awareness and self-reflection on what is important to us, and many entrepreneurs and business mentors swear by the concept as a means to inspiring growth.

On the job, you may use a tactical plan to identify the target of an operation and plan for the deployment of people and assets. Like a vision board, a tactical plan helps you gain perspective and operational awareness so that you can execute the mission effectively. The tools are very different but the concept is the same visualize and execute.

We talk about the importance of laying out your vision on today’s podcast!
