If you want to really focus yourself on, not just a goal, but really creating something you want in your career, a new career, or just something personally for you, you need a Vision, a Mission, and a Strategy.  All three have a specific purpose and ensure you can actually execute on the Vision.  After creating a Vision and even a Mission statement, most fail at executing that Vision or Mission Statement because there is no action behind it.  As Henry Ford said, "you can't build a reputation on what you're going to do."

A Vision is a dream with a purpose. Envision the perfect version of what you want to do.  Then, a Mission Statement defines where you're going and what that identity is.  You can't stop there though.  A Strategy, is the daily behaviors and decisions about how you'll get there!

I'll break it all down for you in a very useful way to understand how they all work together.  The Vision creates the Mission and the Strategy gets you there.
