Sitting down to write a Vivid Vision can be tough, especially if you’re not a natural writer. Even if you are, the vision in your head might not come out how you imagined.
That’s why it’s helpful to have a structure.
Vision Driven has taken several hundred clients through our Vivid Vision process, and we developed what we call The Vivid Vision Mindmap™: a template and guide that will help you begin to write your Vivid Vision.
We’ll walk you through how it works below, but you can download it here if you’re ready to write your Vivid Vision:

The Vivid Vision Mindmap™
The Vivid Vision Mindmap™ will help you brainstorm ideas for your Vivid Vision.
Simply jot down what you want the different areas of your business to look like three years from now.
If you find yourself stuck, you can use these question prompts to help:
- What are your customers saying about your company?
- What are employees saying?
- What is the media writing about you?
- What do Operations look & feel like?
- How about Marketing?
- Sales?
And here’s how that would translate into your Vivid Vision once you begin writing:
We’ve assembled a team of A-players who don’t just come to work energized, but are inspired by the mission we’re on to help our clients achieve their goals. Each one of us is clear of our responsibilities and takes full ownership of the role we play in the company’s growth. Everyone is clear on the vision we have for change in our industry, and we fully embody our core values, always pausing to make sure any decision we make is in alignment. Communication between team members is open, honest, and respectful; when difficult situations arise, we address them without ego, while honoring each person’s point of view. Because of this, we’ve built a culture of cross functional participation, where every team member in any department is willing to jump in and help another in order to turn our vision into a reality.
The Vivid Vision Template™
If you apply the above example to every part of your business, you’ll slowly start to see your Vivid Vision come to life.
One incredibly important part of your Vivid Vision will be the Snapshot: a short summary of what your business has accomplished three years from now. Here’s a template you can use for your Vivid Vision Snapshot:
SNAPSHOT TEMPLATE
It’s December 31st, [20XX], and [Name Of Company] has [change you’ve made in the industry]. We’ve [what you’ve accomplished], and [more accomplishments]. Through [process], [ideal clients] are now able to [vision you have for who you help].
Here’s an example of completed Snapshot:
It’s December 31st, 2024, and Greenspan Capital has sent shockwaves through the multifamily real estate industry, and redefined what it means to be an investor. We’ve built a tribe of passionate investors who are driven by a higher calling, focusing on turning a profit while making an impact in the lives of the communities they touch. Through our online platform, those who want to become equity partners in large, conscious real estate endeavors can access tax advantages and investment pools that have largely been kept secret, and can do so with full confidence knowing that they’re not simply investing in the 2,500+ units under our management, they’re investing in the families inside.
