Who doesn’t like a good spy film or novel? If you’re like me, you’d love to be a secret agent. It appears to have lots of mystery, intrigue and excitement built into the lifestyle.
Here’s your opportunity: While you are busy being all things to all people, you can create a business plan that can sit innocently on your desk or be posted on your wall that can work as your secret agent in the background. Who would know that the collage of pictures can only be deciphered by you, and that it’s your powerful weapon for success?
Similar to a monthly calendar, you can have a refreshed monthly vision board/plan in front of you for the 40,50 or 70 hours a week that you’re working. If you are a road warrior, keep your agent in your planner or portfolio. Investing a few hours each month in the creation of a visual plan for where you want to go within your company or where you’d like to see your company positioned, you may be amazed by how much ground you can cover in very little time.
Creating your secret agent plan is quite easy:
• Make a list of what you’d like to have more or less of in your life one year from today.
• Page through magazines or head to the internet to find some public domain photos that capture the essence of what you’d like to see in your life.
• Put a timeframe on the changes you’d like to see. 30, 90, 180, 260. Group the pictures accordingly.
• Choose a poster board that will give you room enough to post your pictures, and then group by timeframe and secure them on your board. You might also find numbers to correspond with your timeframes..
• Take digital photos of your board, and strategically place them in three places:
➢ In an 8.5 X 11 frame for your desk
➢ As a screen saver or background for your computer
➢ As the background on your cell phone
• Set a monthly appointment in your calendar to repeat the exercise. Stick to the appointment.
You’ll be amazed in just a few months at the progress you’re making. You’ll also have a great record of what you were thinking month by month when you look back.
And the best part… You are your own secret agent of change.
