Just a practical example of how vision sticks...
Yesterday we adopted a Golden Retriever from the shelter for my daughter Samantha's 10th birthday. She had no idea that she was getting a dog. I went and picked up the dog from the shelter and, to say the least she was a mess...and smelled horrible.
So I took her straight away to the groomer so that she would be perfect to present to Samantha later that day.
Here's where it goes from routine to the vision lesson for the day.
As I dropped off the dog at the groomer, I explained that I had just picked her up from the shelter and when I came back to pick her up I would have my daughter with me and surprise her with the dog. The groomers eyes lit up. She was locked in now. Not just a normal grooming...this one was special. She was so excited to be a part of Samantha's special day.
A person I had never met before suddenly was captivated by vision. Captivated by being asked to be a part of something special. She went above and beyond with the grooming, and even gave us a discount. Score!
When you can cast a compelling vision....make a task more than just the day to day, people respond in a big way.

What a great illustration! Love it.
Very cool. I used to cast vision or great ideas more than I do now. I think I've been burned, shot down too many times. I need to think more confidently of my vision. I'm also learning (like in this instance) to project it in a positive way.
