Businesses create vision and mission statements. Creating a personal brand begins much the same way by creating a personal vision.

Only you can determine how you want your life to unfold. You can not control every aspect of your life but you can create a long-term vision and develop steps to achieve that vision.

Your life's vision should include how you see yourself in 10, 20 and even 50 years. Consider the elements in life that would make you happy family, beach house or a challenging corporate job.
