Happy New Year to you!  January passed by so quickly. Here it is the last day of the month and I'm just having the opportunity to connect with you. This year my monthly newsletters will walk you through the steps on how to take an idea, a skill, a product, or service from concept to cash.  Each Quarter I will focus on a different theme on "How to...".

1st Quarter   -   Clarify Your Vision

2nd Quarter  -   Build Your Brand

3rd Quarter   -   Prepare Your Platform

4th Quarter   -   Marketing Your Message

The first step to Clarify Your Vision is to Write Your Vision. It's imperative to get your vision out of your head and on to paper.  Is there an idea, a skill, a product concept, or a service that you have a vision to create?  Why not make 2018 the year to bring IT to life?  You can start by writing down your thoughts regarding what you desire to create.  Don't try to organize your thoughts in any special format, just write down everything that's within your imagination on what would like your IT to become.  

You must plainly write your vision with enough details so that you can easily share your vision with others.  Otherwise, it will be a challenge for others to develop a vested interest.   If you have already written you vision for your IT, then you are ahead of many people.  But, have you taken any steps beyond writing down your vision?  If not, now is the time to review and revise what you wrote down in the past to refresh and expand it.

Next month, I will share the next major step to Clarifying Your Vision.

This year the Quarterly Empowerment Calls will align with the Quarterly Themes unless I decide to cover a special topic.
