This deserves some sit and think time

# Chapter 286

Great entrepreneurs have: clarity of vision, the certainty of intent (a defined direction), a plan of action, and the power of values. - Masterminds

We continue from yesterday. These are great points, clarity of vision is seeing what you want, certainty of intent is your direction you want to go, action steps, and all riding on your values. That first one is still the one that trips most of us up, the clarity part. It seems that we can easily find a vague vision or idea of what we want, usually in the form of what we don’t want. In other words we are far more clear about the fact that we don’t want our present situation than we are about what we actually do want. And knowing what we don’t want is an important element of discovering what you do want, but it will not be enough to sustain us toward achieving something great. A negative won’t turn into a positive, but it often has enough power to knock you out of the nest, and get you started flying.

Clarity about what you want and what you are reaching for, is a way of supercharging the whole process. The more clarity, the more supercharging. You just can’t have too much clarity. And the best gift that it will bring you is certainty. Confidence in the direction that you should be heading and that you should go. Action plans spring up effortlessly if you have these twin towers of clarity and certainty in place. And the foundation of it all are your values, which deserves its own chapter, but I am just responding to the Mastermind summaries. There is a lot here today and this could easily be 4-8 chapters all by itself. You need to sit and think about these a while.
