In the beginning, all you have is a vision on paper, nothing more and you burn the midnight oil to achieve it.
Your vision is what you want the rest of the world to believe in, and possibly convince investors to buy into your idea.By @Comic24Derick
This reveals what you foresee for your company in the future, and what you want people to perceive you. Once written down, a vision becomes greater than a personality, it must overlap generations for your legacy to be acknowledged.
Your business vision drives your company’s decisions, the reason why your company was founded, and the cornerstone of your brand.
As the founder, you are bound to follow your business vision mission values, and objectives diligently, whip others into line, while formulating strategies to achieve it. Sticking to a laid down vision is what separates successful and failed companies.
The good, bad, and the ugly
In Jack Welch’s words, “Good business leaders create a vision, articulate the vision, passionately own the vision, and relentlessly drive it to completion.”
The former business executive, Chairman, and CEO of General Electric clearly understood the demands of a leader in articulating a vision to his subordinates.
Vision first
“Failed plans should not be interpreted as a failed vision. Visions don’t change, they are only refined,” John C. Maxwell noted. “Plans rarely stay the same and are scrapped or adjusted as needed. Be stubborn about the vision, but flexible with your plan.”
Plans are not vision. While you are allowed to change your strategies to suit current trends and conditions, your vision remains the same as before.
For example, Coca-Cola’s vision statement declares, “Our vision is to craft the brands and choice of drinks the people love, to refresh them in body and spirit.”
And if you ask the billions, including you who have tasted a Coca-Cola brand, the company doesn't compromise on its original vision.

Even without the support of everyone else, leaders stay stubborn to the vision, inspiring others, even when the chips are down. Visionaries are creators, they understand their mission more than their followers, and only that way, can they convince others to follow it.

Along the way, the company has made mistakes, plenty, proposed or adjusted their original plans, but they have remained loyal to offer brands that are enjoyed globally, for the past 135 years.
