Daydreaming vs Reality: Where’s your Vision?

Have you ever found yourself silently looking out into space? Are you daydreaming while you sit at your desk, stand at a counter or over your food on your lunch hour? What did those dreams look like? Did they look like your life now? Probably not. Here’s the bottom line: Let’s quit daydreaming!  Instead, shape your dream into the future that we really want.

The future of work is a future that works for all of us. Parents of young children and 70-year-olds alike can find work or create businesses that are flexible in hours and location, to work with their realities and their desire to focus on what matters most. Organizations are already recognizing the need to customize the work world for every employee as well as the customer, because if they don’t, their employees will do it themselves, especially in midlife and beyond. These companies will not only lose the experience and wisdom of their post-40 employees, they are likely to lose money to many of them as former employees become entrepreneurial competition.

We are already creating a world where we can work how we want, where we work, when we want, and most important, why we want. Not only are more and more people starting businesses that make money and a difference in the world, more and more consumers are choosing to patronize these businesses over those that don’t combine profit with purpose and people with planet.

The future belongs to visionaries, those who see where what matters most to them intersects with what the world needs. And this means that the future belongs to all of us, for we all have a visionary within, and we all will benefit from the Visionary Era—an Age of Greatness- that we are creating.
