Your Vision of Success

Where is your business going...?

I saw this piece recently at Women Entrepreneurs on vision and several thoughts came to my mind as I read throguh it.

It's almost impossible to hear that word, vision, used in the context of leadership or direction and not think of the Bible verse that gets used and abuse so much when the topic comes up. Proverbs 28:19 in the old King James Version is the usualy quote: Where there is no vision, the people perish. Poetry and metaphor, but you're usually left with the impression that if you don't know what your goals are and you don't have a clear end result in mind, you might just drop dead. (The King James Bible was translated in 1611 and advances in our understanding of Old Testamnet Hebrew over the last 400 years mean that newer translations come out considerably different than that old KJV rendering, but the saying has become an English language adage, just the same.)

Maybe a more useful idea is summed up in the cliche' "be careful what you wish for." The article at Women Entrepreneurs talks about the businesswoman who was happy with her business exactly the way it was; she wasn't interested in growth. That's an enlightening perspective. After all, growth can bring severe challenges with it.

Do you have a vision for your business?
