Wisdom Wednesday – What is your vision?



ZingTrain Materials...all with a personal touch.

Wednesdays are usually identified as “Wordless Wednesdays” here at my blog. However, today is different. I just participated in a two day training session titled, “Creating a Vision of Greatness.” The training was presented by Zingerman’s (ZingTrain Ann Arbor, MI).

In you are not familiar with Zingerman’s here is a blurb from their brochure. “Zingerman’s was founded in March 1982 by Ari Weinzweig and Paul Saginaw as a small delicatessen in Ann Arbor, MI. Today we are a community of eight unique businesses, with almost 600 employees and over 45 million dollars in annual revenue.”

Zingerman’s not only produces great food, they tell the public how to take their business to the next level, through ZingTrain workshops. In the workshop I attended, there were many techniques taught that can be applied to our personal lives as well as business. I came home energized and ready to write a vision for my personal goals. And to get my teen boys to start on their visions.

Side Note: Many thanks to Ari and Maggie Bayless for leading the ZingTrain Seminar!

Have you ever created a vision statement for the direction you want your life to take? What will you be doing 10 years from now? Do you have kids? Did you start that business you’ve always wanted to start? How about that vacation you always wanted to take? Start with your dream and create your vision.

I have included a few photos from my participation in the ZingTrain workshop.
