Vision Clarity Worksheet

Set Your True Priorities and Build a Clear Growth Path

Why Vision Clarity Matters for Founders

As a founder... you carry the weight of your business on your shoulders.

You're juggling a hundred decisions every week, fighting fires, and chasing opportunities - but sometimes it feels like progress is happening everywhere except where it matters most.

Without a clear vision, your time, energy, and money get spread too thin.

The result?

A team that's busy but unfocused
Resources wasted on activities that don't move the needle
A constant feeling that you're spinning your wheels
Growth that feels harder than it should

The truth is simple...

>>> Clarity creates momentum.

When you know exactly where you're going and what matters most, you make smarter decisions and stop wasting energy on the wrong things.

The Vision Clarity Worksheet helps you strip away the noise and get laser-focused on what really drives growth. It's a practical, step-by-step guide that will give you and your team the clarity you've been searching for.

The Goal of the Vision Clarity Worksheet is A Business That Grows With Purpose

This worksheet helps you create a vision that...

Inspires your team by giving them a shared direction
Prioritises what matters most, so every decision moves you closer to your goals
Stops wasted effort, by cutting out distractions and low-value tasks
Creates a foundation for sustainable, profitable growth without guesswork

When you're clear on your vision, every pound and every hour works harder for your business.

Why Founders Often Lose Focus

Most founders don't set out to be scattered - it happens gradually...

Chasing too many opportunities because they 'might' work
Saying yes to partnerships or projects out of fear of missing out
Trying to grow too many products or services at once
Reacting to the loudest problem of the day instead of working on long-term priorities

This worksheet breaks that cycle by guiding you through five simple steps to create focus, alignment, and energy.

How the Vision Clarity Worksheet Works

Step 1: Define Your North Star

Your North Star is the ultimate destination for your business.

It's not just about revenue... it's about the impact you want to create.

Questions to answer...

What do you want your business to be known for?
How do you want your customers to feel when they work with you?
What's the bigger purpose that drives you beyond profit?

Step 2: Identify Key Milestones

Break your North Star into clear, measurable milestones you need to hit in the next 12–24 months.

These milestones are checkpoints that keep you and your team motivated.

Example milestones...

Reaching £1M in annual revenue
Launching a new product or service
Expanding into a new region
Achieving a specific customer satisfaction score

Step 3: Map Current Reality

Before you can move forward, you need to understand where you are today.

This section uncovers gaps between your vision and your current reality.

Questions to answer...

What's working well right now?
Where are you struggling?
Which activities are draining resources but not delivering results?

Step 4: Choose Your Core Priorities

Every founder has limited time, money, and energy.

This step helps you narrow your focus to three core priorities that will make the biggest impact over the next 90 days.

For each priority...

Describe the desired outcome
List the actions needed to achieve it
Assign who is responsible

Step 5: Create Alignment Across Your Team

A clear vision only works if everyone is on the same page.

Use this step to share your vision with your team and ensure they understand...

Where the business is going
Why these priorities matter
How their role connects to the bigger picture
