Career Beam Values and Vision


My vision is to be not only financially independent but also financially successful. I want to gain a strong understanding of the stock market and the economic status of the world at this point in time, then apply  that knowledge to the market utilizing the assets that I have, in an attempt to reach the financial status that I want to attain. By having this vision statement I have a set goal that I need to reach and because it is only a vision and not a mission there is leeway to alter my plans. My vision is broad, to be economically successful, a goal that can be reached from a wide spectrum of career paths. Writing a vision statement is difficult in the sense that it is somewhat frightening to make a statement that sums up my life goals and should be applicable in whatever path I do in fact take. The values that I uphold are logic, power, and innovation, all of which I know will aid me in my struggle to get to the top. I express these values on a daily basis in my general reasoning of my environment and my analyzation of the position that I am in. By logically looking at any hurdle in your way, you can attain the power that you need to beat the competition(hurdle) and then  apply that logic and power to create innovative solutions to those obstacles and further yourself  on your route to success. The mission statement that I felt was most similar to the vision that I have chosen is that of The Bank of New York. Their statement is "We strive to be the acknowledged global leader and preferred partner in helping our clients succeed in the world's rapidly evolving financial markets." Though the statement is not identical to my ideal vision, it is similar in the sense that it references not only the constantly changing financial markets but the success in that market. Success is what I am aiming for and I am eager to reach the plateau of financial independence that I have chosen to strive for. I would thoroughly enjoy working for a company with such simple yet direct values, financial success is the key to be successful in the world of business in my eyes and I think I could easily keep my head above water in any business i choose to affiliate myself with.
