This December, we continue our 3-part series, Bold in Goal Mastery: Designing Your Life and Career for 2025. Here is part 1, if you missed it.

In this edition, we’ll start with vision creation, a foundational step in setting meaningful, actionable goals. A clear vision aligns your goals with your core values and passions, giving you a roadmap to success.

So… bold in goal mastery.

Understanding the Power of Vision

Vision is is the means to define where you want to go and who you want to become. Research reveals that having a clear, written vision increases your chances of success in both life and career.

• Clarity: Vision focuses your energy on what truly matters, reducing distractions.

• Motivation: A compelling vision acts as a source of inspiration during challenging times.

• Direction: Vision provides a framework for decision-making, ensuring your choices align with long-term aspirations. A clear vision transforms aspirations into action.

Evidence Underpinning Strong Industry Resumes

1. Dominican University Study: Individuals with written goals and visions are 42% more likely to achieve them.

2. Journal of Research in Personality: Vision-setting strengthens intrinsic motivation, leading to higher levels of commitment and persistence.

3. Gallup Research: Workers who align their career vision with personal values report higher job satisfaction and overall well-being.

A well-crafted vision is a blueprint for success.

Learning About Healthcare Sub-Industries/Sectors

If you have a vison and goal to leave the hospital and bedside as a clinician, consider learning more about Healthcare Sub-Industries/Sectors.

For nurses seeking to transition into non-traditional roles, it's important to understand the diverse sub-industries within healthcare. These sectors such as HealthTech, MedTech, Biotech, Pharmaceuticals, and Medical Devices, offer unique opportunities to apply clinical expertise in innovative ways.

These sub-industries hire nurses in a variety of non-clinical roles. It is HIGHLY unlikely that they will specifically advertise a job requiring a degree in nursing. Instead, they will seek a science-based degree. Bold Nurse Academy Graduates have earned roles in all of thee areas!

Each sector offers opportunities to impact patient care and drive advancements in the medical field. By understanding these sub-industries/sectors, you can set your vision and goals toward a non-traditional pathway.

• Navigate Life’s Complexity: A clear vision provides a steady compass, even in uncertain times.
