What's your vision?

This is definitely one of the points in the field of management which should be highly emphasized. Having a vision for the future is absolutely essential. It definitely gives a purpose to life, as it serves to be a reason to move forward. This vision can be a mix of both personal and professional, as are most.


Four of my most essential visions for post-Baruch life are (obviously all are overlapping and related to one another):
1. To Land a respectable position with a reputable accounting firm upon receiving my CPA
2. To help pay off my parents' home and send them on a vacation
3. To start a family of my own
4. To experience corporate life in the Middle East, preferably Dubai

Now, I think that most ambitious people have an abundance of goals or visions. Some are definitely more important than others. For instance, without finding a concrete position it would be very difficult to achieve the rest of my goals. Number 1 must be essential in some way, shape or form in order to achieve the rest.

As far as my fourth goal, this is something that I have been wanting to do for quite some time. If anyone is familiar with the Emirate of Dubai, they know what an amazing story it is. I haven't yet had the chance to visit, but its architecture and design is magnificent. They just recently opened up the official tallest building in the world (Burj Khalifa). The palm islands and tax free salaries are just some of the perks that Dubai has to offer. It is also a financial capital for much of the Middle East. Real estate and finance are still very much the driving force behind the city. Thus, many corporate positions are still in need. Hopefully, all of my goals will translate into my master vision that will bring forth happiness and gratification.

Everyone should have their own vision. There is truly not a day that goes by where I don't think about some of my goals and my vision. It is absolutely necessary to serve as a driving force of going to the top. For some, this may be a corporate ladder which translates to money and power. For others, it may be having a solid job with an even better family life. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to find that balance between career and family. For me, both are highly important, but family definitely has more value. In conclusion, every individual has the right to their own vision. Setting the bar high will push you even further to reach for those stretch goals and make them very much attainable.
