The Big Picture

But Before All and Above All:

Listening for what really drives YOU to achieve: “Authentic Success”

(T + P + E) V = AS–T = Talent–P = Passion or Purpose–E = Environment–V = Vision

The Big Picture: Vision

Discover a “future reality” which is positive and inspires you to action, a dream awakens the passion

within you. A goal which you never thought was possible and that you can achieve regardless of what

other may think, say or do.

The Big Picture: The Quick Test

• Does what I do really excite me?• Does what I do count?• Do I look forward to what I’m doing?• Do I still have goals or have I given up on them?• Do I feel passionate about my goals?• Will achieving my goals make a difference to anybody?• Will achieving my goals add richness to my life?• Will I share my goals with others, or doesn’t it matter? • From “On Track to the Top”, by Jaques van Schalkwyk
