Presidents' Message



 
Clarity of Vision
 

Most successful people are driven by an over-riding purpose. Superstars take it one step farther and develop a vision for future growth. This vision helps guide the day-to-day activities and strategic decision-making necessary to achieve success. Before deciding what steps are necessary to move toward your goals, you must be very clear about your desires for yourself and your career or business.

Excellence is a learned behavior, a skill set, Your Vision defines your desired future. Do you have a strong Vision that provides focus and the momentum to take you to where you want to be? Is it in line with what you are doing? If you do have an aligned Vision, do you think it stops there? It shouldn’t. Given today’s dynamic business environment, it is most important to be continually generating new refinements of your Vision. For sustained success it is critical to redefine your Vision, be flexible enough to go in new directions, and sustain focus with new goals and objectives that motivate you.

What do you dream your future could be? Your vision helps you strategically maneuver beyond the details of your current day-to-day activities. Your Vision is intended to be one that will help you visualize specific things that you would like to realize within a certain time frame, say, a few years. However, your vision isn’t grounded in today’s reality. It is a goal to strive for, not a reflection of your current situation. 

Set your target for what you do really well. This will elicit passion and commitment and result in new growth potential. To identify your vision, focus on the future. Don’t forget to consider changes in the global marketplace, the Internet, and technology. Revisit your mission statement with self focus often and with conviction to engage your imagination and motivation for action. 

Proactively align your sales culture, defined values, resources, goals and objectives to reflect your desired future – your Vision.

What do you want your desired future to look like personally and professionally? Define your Vision and set your goals for success!

Moving from the present to your vision requires a gap analysis. This process will help you identify the difference between the two and determine what changes and improvements are necessary to close the gap and help you achieve your vision. Improvement is a continual exercise that never ends because “If you’re not moving forward, you are falling behind.” 

With this in mind, I’m offering today’s suggestion for the week – create a vision – and the following opportunities to improve your performance, and speed you on the path to your success. 

Mr. Rich Wallace

JOIN THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA BLACK CHAMBER OF COMMERCE TODAY!

Hello and good day Mr. Wallace.  I hope this message finds you safe and well.  I wanted to reiterate what a pleasure it was speaking with you last night at the chamber meeting/mixer.  I appreciate your words of wisdom and encouragement.  When you said that I will always be a teacher wherever I go something clicked in my head and I realized that I can pursue my specialty sweets business and teach in some capacity.  Your words were truly life changing and for that I would like to thank you again.  I look forward to possibly working with you in the future in the business capacity.  Thank you and have an amazing day.

First I just want to express my sincere gratitude. From the  very first time I called your phone, you have been proactive in helping my small business get leads to generate revenue. I joined the US Black chamber of Commerce  looking for help  to grow my small business. The fact that I am located in Louisiana and your in California and you didn’t pass me to the next person in line speaks volumes with me. So it would be an honor for me  to become apart of your chamber. As a minority woman in the trucking industry I have been faced with many adversities but overcame. My story isn’t greater than anyone I can imagine but what I can say it’s a story worth hearing. As I continue to grow and become successful I want to thank individuals like you. You not only talk the talk but you have proven to me that you walk the walk as well. Rich you have shown me that no matter where someone is located that you are willing to extend your hand to help. For that I am forever grateful. Sincerely!
