If you want to succeed with your Vivid Vision, I urge you to share it with others. Don’t keep it a secret, or you might not get anywhere. Share it widely among your friends, family, and coworkers. Social psychology studies suggest that publicly committing to goals can significantly improve our chances of accomplishing them. “Vivid Vision” is a great book and well worth the read. As I write this newsletter, I am in the process of creating my own Vivid Vision for my personal life and Spada Law Group. I plan to share these visions with you in a future newsletter. That way, you’ll know what I’m striving toward, and I can publicly commit myself to achieving my vision of the future. After that, you’ll be able to watch me propel like a rocket ship or blow up over the ocean as I reach for my goals. Spoiler alert: I don’t plan to blow up!
