"A vision without motion is only a dream” and today, Neil is here to help you take action to ensure that you can make your dreams come true and avoid letting life pass you by. Neil discusses why it is important to think deeply about what you want out of life in the next 10-15 years, why the key to action and movement is to start at the end goal and work backwards and why the comfort zone is where your dreams will diminish.
 
KEY TAKEAWAYS 
Most people overestimate what they can do in a year, and underestimate what they can achieve in 10 years. Many people don’t give that kind of timeframe much thought. People imagine themselves to always have more time, as though they are immortal.

Think deeply about what you want to be doing in 10 to 15 years time? Think about how you want things to be with your health, relationships, career and what your legacy will be.

Imagine yourself in the future and everything is as you wish it to be,  write it down and include lots of details such as the colour of the car you drive. Write it all down and read your vision regularly, reinforcing the vision. 

But plans are nothing without actions. The key to action and movement in pursuit of that long-range vision: begin at the end-point and ask yourself “what did i do before that?” Work it all backwards from the future until you arrive back here, today, with an action you can take that will move you.

 
Think bigger than you’re comfortable with right now. Remember that things always change and inflation makes your million-pound goal less meaningful in the future,  because the million is worth less. Re-visit the vision and continuously update it in response to changes in the wider world.
