Let’s be honest — most of us are winging it more than we’d like to admit. Especially in real estate. We’ve got calendars full of closings, phone calls, kids’ soccer games, client emergencies, and about 900 sticky notes floating around.

But here’s the truth: if you don’t create a vision for your life and business, your circumstances will do it for you. And trust me, “whatever the market throws at me today” is not the vision you want guiding your future.

High-powered women don’t just hustle harder. We move smarter. And the smartest move you can make? Creating a clear, magnetic vision statement for every area of your life.

Why a Vision Statement Matters (Science + Real Life Proof)

Neuroscience tells us that when you write your vision in the present tense, your brain starts wiring itself to believe it’s already happening. That belief drives your actions, and those actions create results. Translation: you literally train your brain for success.

And you don’t have to take my word for it. Oprah Winfrey, Jim Carrey, Serena Williams — all have publicly credited clear visions with pulling them forward when circumstances looked impossible.

In leadership and business, vision statements are what separate the “reactors” from the “creators.” If you’ve ever worked under a leader who had no vision, you know how chaotic that feels. The same is true for your own life — without vision, you end up hustling harder, but never feeling fulfilled.

The 6 Steps to Create (or Uplevel) Your Vision

Here’s the fun part: creating your vision doesn’t have to be complicated. In fact, it should feel exciting. Here’s my simple 6-step process — with examples you can totally borrow.

Step 1: Write in Present Tense (and Keep It Positive)

Your vision is happening NOW. Only describe what you’d LOVE, not what you don’t want.

❌ “I’m no longer exhausted.”
✅ “I bound out of bed rested, full of energy & feeling great.”

Step 2: What Would I Love to Experience?

You’re not just looking at your vision — you’re inside it.

❌ “I am debt-free.”
✅ “I love opening my accounts and seeing them fully paid off. I feel free, light, and abundant as money flows easily to me. My financial freedom allows me to live generously, give joyfully, and create unforgettable experiences.”

Step 3: Anchor It With Feelings and Detail

Your vibe fuels your vision.

❌ “I now have a new house.”
✅ “I feel safe, light, and joyful in my Mediterranean-style home overlooking the ocean — sunlight streaming through the windows, laughter filling the rooms, peace in every corner.”

Step 4: Bring in All 5 Senses

Vision is a full-body experience.

💡 Example:
“The top is down on my candy-apple red Corvette ZR1. I hear the engine roar, feel buttery-soft leather seats, smell that new car scent, the wind whips my hair, Queen is blasting from the stero, and my favorite person is riding shotgun. Life is amazing.”

Step 5: Use Prompts to Shape Your Story

Try filling in the blanks:

• When I wake, I feel…
  
• A typical day looks/feels like…
  
• I take consistent steps toward my dreams by…
  
• I feel fulfilled now that I…
  
• Because of my freedom, I’ve accomplished…
  
• Every day, in every way, I grow as…
  

Step 6: Put It All Together

Blend it into one flowing statement.

💡 Example:
“I wake up full of joy and energy in my dream home with sunlight streaming through the windows. A mug of coffee warms my hands as I sit by the water. My day is filled with people, work, and experiences that light me up. Peace, joy, and freedom fill every breath. I grow wiser each day as a steward of my abundance and a joyful creator of experiences that matter most. This or something even greater still.”

And about that last line — “this or something even greater still” — it’s not just fluff. It’s a reminder that the Infinite (God, Spirit, the Universe — however you call it) has endless ways to deliver good into your life. Don’t get stuck on the how. Leave room for expansion.

Vision in Every Area of Life

Start with one domain: Health & Well-Being, Time & Money Freedom, Love & Relationships, or Career/Vocation. Create a statement for each. Then add a “My Life as a Whole” vision you can carry with you anywhere.

The Bottom Line

Whether you’re running a real estate team, building your dream business, or simply trying to design a life you actually love living — your vision statement is the foundation.

Without it, you’re reacting. With it, you’re creating. And the women who create their lives intentionally? They’re the ones building businesses, families, and legacies that last.

So don’t skip this. Grab a journal, pour yourself a glass of wine (or coffee, no judgment), and get your vision down on paper. Your future self is already cheering you on.

And if you’re reading this and thinking, “Okay, Rosemary, I love this idea but I know I’m going to stall out the second I try to do it on my own…” — that’s your sign. You don’t have to keep letting life happen to you. You get to grab the reins and design a business, a career, and a life you actually love.
