The fourth of the Six Laws is about seeing the end from the beginning, then writing it plainly enough that other people can carry it with you. A vision kept private is only a preference.

Law Four of the Six Laws of Strategy
WHO IT'S FOR
Leaders, founders, ministry and nonprofit teams, and anyone whose team can recite the plan but not the point. Also useful for anyone writing a vision statement who wants something more rigorous than adjectives.
HOW TO USE IT
Question 5 is where this sheet earns its keep. The gap between the picture you just described and your life today is the actual distance your strategy has to cover — and most people have never measured it. Question 6 is the follow-on that separates a vision you reach once from one you can sustain.
WORKS BEST WITH
The Law of Purpose (Law Three), which supplies the purpose this vision is a picture of. Vision without purpose is only a daydream, and this worksheet assumes you've already done that work.
