The video is definitely something that I wont forget especially the star fish LoL It does give a good insight on what a vision should be and as we've seen before all major companies display their vision on their websites or in other forms.
Having a vision for your future is a tricky thing you know. There is a great Russian saying "if you want to make God laugh tell him about your plans". when I was 19 I planned by 25 to be married with a degree and having a first child.
I'm turning 25 in 2 months. Im not married, dont have a degree, and certainly not having a baby.
Now I have different goals set out for myself. Since it didn't so far work out for me in personal life, I figured I would focus on my career. I'm finishing an accounting degree by next year hopefully. This summer I registered for LSATs prep classes. By next year, October, I will be taking my LSAT exam and hopefully will get into a good law school. With an accounting background I would like to pursue in the field of tax attorney . NOT FUN! But good money and good connections :)
One of my main visions is to get out of dept. In this country having a bad credit is like having a bad criminal record. It is impossible to even get a cell phone today with a bad credit. I've recently joined a hardship program with AmEx and did a 40% debt settlement with my other bank that has accumulated quite the large amount. This means that I'm only paying 40 % of what I owe and they agreed to give me installment payment plan so I didn't have to come up with the lump sum of money.
Another vision of mine is making headbands!! Me and my sister are building small capital right now to start our own little headband company. Im dreaming of anything big. I just want to sit home in my spare time glue and sow some beads on a headband and hopefully sell them. We decided that this would be a good way of coming up with extra cash while both of us are in school. I got this idea from a friend. she started selling bracelets that she made and made pretty good money. she doubled her profits in just 2 weeks. I figured that I can do something with my hands and perhaps make money. so once the merchandises are ready I'll be forwarding them to all the girls in the class :))
I love that Russian saying...it is funny how we envision our life one way and it ends up somewhat different. One thing I have learned is you can't always put a timeline on every goal you have in life. However, with some patience and a little bit of vision, everything you want will happen in due course. Good luck with all your future endeavors! Btw do you have any pics of what your headbands look like?
ReplyDeleteI think its cool that you want to start a little headband company. Wish you all the best with that vision. I agree with the fact that goals can change over time because lives can change as well. The same is true for a business. The vision that they had in the beginning may not remain the same because of changes in the market and economy.
ReplyDeleteThe Vision of getting out of debt is a real common one especially in these times. In this country we are taught to spend first and think about the cost later. As a result, most of us are in debt. So by setting your own financial matters in place, it will free you up to help others. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteYour plans is the vision we're talking about in the class. For a vision to come true we must take action. Simple, right : )It is if you really know what you want. I see that you working on your goals: making a deal with the banks to get out of dept, talking your sister into handmade stuff business together, and working on your accounting degree to get into the low school. Nice and clear vision how take world by storm! All the best to you.
ReplyDeleteLet's study for the LSAT together!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd you are too young to be saying or even thinking that "personal life" hasn't worked out yet... get back to me when you're over 30 and you're not longer single... you're "Complicated".
Cheers honey! You're going to be fabulous at whatever you want to be!!
Bad credit? I don't even have any credit! I don't know where to start no bank will give me a credit card =(.. How am I ever going to have credit? Anyways, your idea of making headbands is awesome especially if your crafty and good with your hands. Let me know if you make any, I'd be interested in taking a look =)
ReplyDeleteThat's so cool that you and your sister are looking to start a headband line! With the 80's making a comeback there should be plenty of demand for them. My roommate and her sister made a jewelry line on the side and they make good money! Good luck with it, maybe you guys can hook up and make a matching headband and jewelry line together :)
