To illustrate how vision and direction work together, let us delve into the following examples:

First, let's talk about the moon landing. The moon has always been visible to people all over the world when it's night. Since the moon was visible to the naked eye, people knew which direction to look for it. With this crystal clear vision and direction, coupled with tremendous action, Neil Armstrong and his team were able to land exactly on the moon-and not on Mars by mistake. 

Now let's see what happens when vision is diminished or unclear: The great explorer Christopher Columbus had a great vision to travel to India. But since India was not visible from Europe to the naked eye-as the technology wasn't that advanced in those days—the direction to go to India was not clear. Though Columbus had a great vision, it became muddled because he had an unclear direction. Despite taking tremendous action and preparation for the voyage to India, having no crystal clear direction caused Columbus to land in America, over seven thousand miles away from India. 

Lastly, let's see what happens when there is no vision at all. In case of a treasure hunt, you have no vision of the treasure. All you have is a direction in the form of a map or a set of clues. Without vision, it's hard to find the treasure, but it's not entirely impossible; it could still be found. In many cases, however, such treasures get lost forever because having only a direction (with no vision) is not enough to find them. 

Let me tell you that each of you has a treasure of a million dollars hidden somewhere. You cannot get it because you neither have the vision to see it nor the direction to achieve this goal. In the absence of both vision and direction, taking action becomes very difficult. This is the reason the total population of millionaires today is still less than 1 percent of the global population.

Invest and Grow Rich will give you this vision and direction, which are required to take the appropriate action and increase your chances of becoming millionaires and financially free.
