During an interview with Krystoff Carvonis, founder and president of The Carvonis Group, he stressed the importance of having a vision in terms of achieving long-term success. There was a reoccurring theme of the significance of having this vision, and how it ultimately ignites the passion for succeeding.
“The important thing is to have a vision, and to always chase that one big goal. If you always have something to chase, you’ll always be motivated to work, and the results will follow.”
For Krystoff, his vision is to open markets in all 50 states, and eventually expand into a global market. While these goals are ambitious, The Carvonis Group has already had tremendous success serving Fortune 500 companies and is well on its way to achieving their goals. He says that having a routine is essential, because if you work towards something consistently, results will follow, and you will be one step closer to achieving your goals.
While a vision is a broad overview of what a company is trying to accomplish, it serves as a general guide for the company’s decisions. Your vision should serve as a guiding principle during the entirety of the expansion process because it keeps you headed in the direction you originally envisioned. Krystoff made a point to emphasize how always chasing your vision will serve you well even when completing smaller projects that contribute to a companies growth. If you stick to your vision, eventually you will accomplish what you set out to do.
Every individual’s visions are different and entail different processes. But Krystoff mentioned that despite your vision, you must always try until you succeed.
“If you keep trying at something, eventually, you will get it. You have to have that mindset; attempting something over and over until eventually, you succeed.”
The last piece of advice that Krystoff offered was that in order for you and your team to accomplish their goals, there has to be a mutual motivation amongst your team. The biggest difference between having a vision, and executing a vision, is that executing requires a team effort.
If you can create a motivated and tenacious atmosphere in the workplace, reaching your vision is a lot easier. When each party has a shared interest and motivation, achieving your vision becomes exponentially simpler. The Carvonis Group continues to grow, and as long as they follow their vision, they will not stop anytime soon.
