4. Why Create a Personal Vision Statement?
Because it’s easy to get distracted, to lose sight of what’s important to us.
When we get disconnected from our life’s direction, other people’s agendas
come before our own.
Have you noticed how, at times, every phone call, email, and notification on
your screen draws your full attention? While at other times, you’re absorbed in
your work regardless of the distraction?
Vision doesn’t eliminate distraction. It inspires us to focus on what matters.
Vision provides clarity for the future while directing us to place our attention in
the present.

8. Oprah Winfrey’s vision statement:
“To be a teacher. And to be known for
inspiring my students to be more than they
thought they could be.”
Richard Branson’s vision statement:
“To have fun in [my] journey through life and
learn from [my] mistakes.”

10. Your Personal Value Proposition, or PVP,
should summarize and synthesize the value you
provide to Clients and potential Clients. Without
providing value, business development can be
challenging – and will be based mainly on hope
or luck, neither of which is a good strategy.

12. Here are four steps to develop a strong PVP:
Set a clear target. The PVP begins with a target, one that needs what you have to
offer. You’ll prefer some directions, not others. Targeting will make you most effective.
Identify your strengths. It may sound obvious, but what you know and what you
can do are the foundation of your PVP. Hone in on what those are.
Tie your strengths to your target position. Don’t leave it up to the employer to
figure out how your strengths relate to what she needs. Let your PVP tightly
connect you to the position. Connect the dots for her. Consider her perspective and
know why she should hire you or promote you.
Provide evidence and success stories. Your strengths may be what an employer is
“buying,” but your achievements are the evidence you have those strengths. They
make your case convincing. Some people prepare a non-confidential portfolio to
showcase that evidence in a vivid way. They collect reports they wrote that had
impact. They pull together facts on measurable achievements such as sales
growth or cost reduction.

15. Ten thousand hours enters pop culture with the publication of Malcolm Gladwell's
book Outliers: The Story of Success, which profiles successful people like the Beatles,
Bill Gates, and theoretical physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer.
Gladwell pulls 10,000 hours from the work of researcher Anders Ericsson, boldly stating
that "ten thousand hours is the magic number of greatness.“
Ericsson studies how people acquire skills and expertise in different fields. He studied
40 violin virtuosos in Germany, asking them how much they practiced by the age of 20.
Answers ranged from 3,500 hours up to 12,000 hours, with 10,000 or so being the
average. That's how we get the number.
