Vision & Anti-Vision: The Push-Pull Framework for Living on Purpose

The Full Episode Guide

🎧 In This Episode

We explore a powerful dual approach to creating life direction by combining what you want (your vision) with what you don't want (your anti-vision).

We break down a four-part framework for building a clear and compelling vision, and dive into the counterintuitive power of using your past negative experiences as fuel for positive change.

Key Concepts:

• The Four-Part Vision Framework: Values (key pillars), purpose (your North Star), mission (evolving 5-10 year focus), and big, hairy, audacious goals (specific, measurable targets)

• Anti-Vision Power: Using what you don't want from past experience is often clearer than imagining what you do want, and creates an "impossible to distract" focus when combined

• Specificity Creates Excitement: Vague goals like "be the best" don't motivate; concrete targets like "six coaches earning six figures" get people to lean in and take action

• Daily Operationalization: Vision without daily tracking is just wishful thinking — the magic happens when you measure 15-20 daily actions that align with your direction
