2. Blueprint Your Vision
A visual of required components
"If you can tell me one product that was produced without a drawing, you get an A for the day." ~ H.S Drafting Teacher
A blueprint, or drawing provides a visual of everything required for the assembly of a complete project or for a particular component. Not only does a blueprint provide a visual that clearly shows what is needed, it also helps identify distractions in real-time. The blueprint of your vision will list only required components, thus simplifying the process and saving time and money. If you stay true to your vision when drawing your blueprint, you should be able to say, "Yes! This is Me!" . . . Or, Yes! This is My Life!"
Examples of a product blueprint include; a house blueprint will show the number of floor levels to the home. An automotive blueprint diagrams if it is a car or a truck, and if it has two-doors or four-doors. A blueprint of any product will show the product's shape, features and size to-scale. Even a simple food item has a blueprint, or recipe to show exactly how that product is produced. When you blueprint your vision it be draws considerably closer to reality.
What if your vision is not of a product but of a service? Perhaps you want to produce a show or hold an event, develop a trait or characteristic, or even build your body? How does one blueprint service, events, skills or traits? The simple answer is; blueprint your vision around your priorities, values and strengths discovered while working the exercises in Step 1. Create Your Vision. Use the words and photos from the exercises to assist you in creating your blueprint. Whether it's a service, event, program, talent or characteristic, consider mapping your blueprint into segments, or scenes. Make sure to incorporate your values and priorities to show your preference to certain methods or particular levels of service. If your blueprint gets too complex, remember the 80/20 rule from step 1., and eliminate all unnecessary items, tasks, steps, or information. The less involved your blueprint, the greater the chance of success. Initially include only the required components when you blueprint your vision, then add the frills after your goal has been realized.
Some people might say, "Can't I just use my vision board as my blueprint?" Our answer is, If unable to sketch out your vision, then yes, simply use your vision board. However, a blueprint details the "skeleton or bones" needed to realize a vision. Blueprints remove all doubt and replace guesswork with yeswork so you can confidently and consistently proceed in the direction of your goal.
KNOW THIS: "That which is measured, gets managed!" Now go out and make it happen.
