Michael, you write an impressive letter. I have a few questions for you that may help me. How can I become a true Visionary, when I fail to see how I can have that kind of power? Where do you apply this knowledge you speak of? Suppose I become exactly what you are advocating and get all fired up with a vision. Unless I am a politician, a leader of the government for instance, I have no audience, no one to carry out my orders when I try to change the world for the better. Where do I go from there? You have this business of teaching, but I do not. I can`t get anyone to sit still long enough to discuss any part of what you are advocating. Am I missing a major part of you message, the part that says "You Start Here Ronald:" Anyway I will keep reading your letters and try to find the answers. Thanks Michael.

Hi Ronald, some truly GREAT questions! Let's take them one by one.

Q: "How can I become a true Visionary, when I fail to see how I can have that kind of power?"

If we could all see that we do, indeed, have the power of a visionary, we'd probably ALL be visionaries. The problem lies in seeing, Ronald. It is a catch 22. If you can't see how you could possibly climb to the top of Mount Everest, why would you even try? And, yet, if you developed the skill and experience of a mountain climber, you could see how you could, indeed, climb to the top of Mount Everest.

One thing we as human beings tend to do, largely as a result of our follower-training, is not undertake challenges that we cannot see ourselves succeeding at. We tend to set our sites on the "possible." When choosing which mountain to climb in life, we pick one that we can successfully climb. This is the "responsible" path, the "practical" path. We don't want to be laughed at. We don't want to fail. And so we play small.

The rare few who do pick the biggest, boldest mountain they can find, tend to develop the skill and experience of a great climber. They learn from experience. Soon, they can look at mountains that once looked impossible, and easily see success. They "see" what they couldn't before. Their vision has increased.

So, let's back to the question, "How can I become a visionary, when I can't see how I could have that kind of power?" First, take the Visionary Challenge. Second, get started with the training!

A kid who has never ridden a bike before can't see himself winning a bike race. Sure, he can fantasize about it, but he can't see it happening. Now, give that kid some serious hands on education and training as a bike racer. Now, he can see a lot more. The better he gets on the bike, the more he can see himself winning. Make sense? So, just start the training! Have you taken Vision Force 101? Their is a new, downloadable version of that program coming out. Watch for it. It's called Visionary Mind, available from www.visionforce.com

The second part of your question is essentially this:

Q: "I don't have an organization, a government or a business to carry out my vision; and I've tried sharing my vision with people I know with no success. So, how could I possibly make a difference even if I do become a visionary?"

Once upon a time a man saw some professional tennis players on TV. He said to himself, "That looks like fun. I am going to try playing tennis. Maybe I can become a pro too and make a lot of money." He proceeds to the nearest tennis court, borrows a racket and some tennis balls, and challenges another tennis player to a match. He loses. He tries again. He loses again. Soon, he grows frustrated and is about to give up. He doesn't see how he could become a pro and win a lot of money at tennis.

It comes back to the same thing we talked about earlier. Without training in visionary skills, most people will NOT be able to call the people around them to greatness. They will not be able to lead others with their vision. They won't even be able to share their vision without getting an argument or a blank stare in return. They won't be able to mobilize people into action to achieve the mission.

BUT...!

And it REALLY is this simple: WITH TRAINING AS A VISIONARY, ANYONE CAN HAVE THIS KIND OF INFLUENCE AND POWER IN THE WORLD! That goes for Ronald. That goes for everyone reading these words. Just because human beings have lived and communicated for so long WITHOUT VISION, does not mean we need to continue that way. Just because we have settled conflict with arguments, closed minds and force for so long, does not mean we can not learn to communicate as visionaries.

Without training, without walking the path of a visionary, you WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SEE WHAT A VISIONARY SEES. Plain and simple.

Of course, the ultimate training I can recommend, is the hands-on, face to face 4-day training I lead called the Vision Force Boot Camp. It is the only training of it's kind. It is revolutionary. If you are serious about causing real change in your life and the world around you... If you are committed to being a force to be reckoned with in shaping humanity's future, call the Vision Force Academy to register in the next boot camp today. 1-877-84HONOR (1-800-844-6667).
