How do you guys create and curate your visions?

I’ve heard a few times that in order to get somewhere, you need to know where you’re going, and when you’re trying to shape your future and give it direction, you need to define the destination in as much detail as possible.

I’ve also noticed that when folks ask me what I’m here for and what I want to get out of this programme, I feel like I’m giving vague, aspirational answers. Stuff like “I want to share my life with good, kind, curious, and warm-hearted people” and “I want to steal myself a life so playful, challenging, joyous and richly connected that it feels like it ought to be illegal” (I call that, “thrivery”). Most recently, I’ve realised that I want to stop sitting on the extroverted parts of myself so that I can maybe build a career around them.

While that looks good on the fridge, its lack of specifics has been bothering me.

I came to Men of Action in good part because I like the look of Michael Sartain’s life and the lives of those who’ve been through the course. I like the playfulness, especially when amplified by pretty ladies getting to goof around in the lads’ company. I also like the idea of having a solid set of social circles, particularly having female team-mates (and, Michael, I do like “team-mates” better than friends, because team-mates implies you’re all working on something together as opposed to just hanging out).

I’ve tried some vision-boarding and the like in the past, and the closest I got was the idea of a “three-year sketch” as defined by Ali Abdaal (he of Feel Good Productivity fame). With a little help from ChatGPT, I created something that I think is decent (with ChatGPT’s help) but as I start getting stuck into the weekly objectives in the MoA course, I feel the urge to give it more shape, especially when it comes to earning an income / incomes.

Of course, I could still be in a research/discovery phase, especially as this course is getting me into networking and social media. But I’d still like to find out whether / how you all defined where you’re at, especially when you’re in that early “gawd it’d be awesome to be surrounded by a bevy of hot chicks just like that Sartain dude” stage.

And in case you’re curious, here’s the three-year sketch as of May this year (needs a few tweaks for sure):

At the heart of it all is your why: sharing your life with good, kind, curious, and warm-hearted people. That intention gently shapes everything—your home, your work, your friendships, and your quiet moments of joy.

You’re living in Sydney, but closer to the city now, in a neighborhood with charm and connection—like Dulwich Hill. You’re just a short walk from a train or metro station, with leafy streets and local cafes where you can meet friends and soak in the vibe. Your home is warm and welcoming—a modest, manageable space with a yard for Sookie, and room for peace and companionship.

And in that home, there’s a moment that captures it all: you and the woman you love, snuggled together on the couch. No phones, no pressure—just two people at ease with each other, reading, close, and content. She shares your energy and your values. Like you, she wants to help people and embrace life with curiosity and kindness.

Your circle is filled with others who live this way, too—entrepreneurial spirits like Xavier and Estelle, people who take chances and live with purpose. You're all walking your own paths, but lifting each other up as you go.

Physically, you feel solid—fit, strong, and energised. Your knees are better, your body more agile, and your spirit more courageous. You’ve taken chances on yourself—invested in your growth, taken a few bold steps—and you’ve come out the other side stronger for it.

Work is meaningful, but no longer all-consuming. You spend part of your week helping others find clarity and control in their lives—building routines, simplifying systems, and freeing up their minds. You’ve accepted that simple isn’t boring—it’s powerful. And with the rest of your time, you live.

You’re travelling around Sydney, catching films, concerts, and plays. You’re diving deep into Elite Dangerous, not just playing but contributing to the community. Your YouTube and live-streaming work feels joyful now, not stressful. You’ve got help with editing, and your writing flows easier.

You’re sharing meals, stories, and ideas with friends, hosting or joining entrepreneurial hangouts that feel more like play than work. And through it all, you’re being the person you’ve always wanted to be—generous with your energy, curious about life, and connected in deep, meaningful ways.

This is the life you’ve created—one that’s worth sharing, because it’s built from the inside out.
