ENVISAGE CONSULTING

What is Envisage Consulting about? 

First, we all know what consulting is about!

What is the meaning of envisage?

Form a mental picture of something 

not yet existing or known.

"he knew what he liked 

but had difficulty envisaging it"

Synonyms: image, picture, visualize

STRUCTURE

How are we structured? 

Are we operating a business?

A firm, a nonprofit, a corporation, sole proprietor?

Or just a simple, ordinary entity of a human being?

VISIONARY

The fact is we are all visionaries. 

We have a vision for our lives, and for our business.

In business, whatever the structure, we should have 

a vision.

A Vision Statement

               & 

A Mission Statement

A mission statement describes "what your company is doing right now,"

While a vision statement is "what you hope to achieve in the future"

where you are at this moment in time, 

versus 

where you're going.

STATEMENT, VISION, MISSION

For simplicity's sake, why not have only one statement. 

Unless you are going to colonize another planet which is your vision.

And that could take ages, and if we are still alive to witness it.

A vision is what one envisions. It is an ongoing process. And as fast as you accomplish that goal, it is on to the next. 

It is futuristic. Not present!

Can we see how a vision keeps changing?

ASPIRATIONS

Aspirations are ideas beckoning achievement, starting from a vision. Then it is something we develop a strategy to attain, fulfill, or realize.

It is a process we work out internally before revelation, for obvious reasons, such as safeguarding our ideas until we can produce.

When we talk about our goals and cannot back them up with concrete proof, we are not taken seriously.

So it is better to only talk about our accomplishments. And this applies to business.

Those of us who are without establishments, we should temper our attainments with humility.

PURPOSE

I find it much more to the point to share what it is one does with the actual products or services.

Value, commitment, and quality are attributes one can focus on to describe the company's 'mission'.

What is being offered, and what resolution is attributed to the product or service? 

Explaining your brand’s purpose will also foster a connection with customers.

Make the company's mission statement memorable, so it stands out.

Outlining the company's objectives makes a statement - and gives a true picture. 

This is something concrete we can see and have in hand because the product or service is already developed. How the product or service performs is another story.

ENVISION

What we envision for ourselves is something we hope to achieve or accomplish. Always we start with our ideas or concepts. 

Envisioning is the beginning. We all have ideas. Do we act on them? 

We all are acquainted with others who brainstorm brilliant ideas. However, are these ideas ever worked upon? Maybe we have such flashes of ingenuity ourselves.

ENVISAGE CONSULTING

Then begins the process of fleshing them out. Such a procedure takes the ability of proper methodology, technique, or a unique strategy.

It depends on the person with the undertaking. Some of us are very good at taking conceptualized ideas to a fulfilled reality.

Here is where some of us falter. Externalizing requires skills like any other.

I can tell you, one has to be really focused. Such ability is possessed by the abundant-minded. It separates the haves and have-nots.

This practice may require someone as a guide to steer one's mind to create fulfillment if one is not able to materialize for oneself.

All I can share with you now is - 

"it is how our ideas come to reality".

Envisage applies to every one of us. 

Whether we are trading our time in a business establishment, 

or as a unique human soul going for his or her dreams?
