“Imagination is the womb of reality. What you don’t see within, you’ll never build without.”
Listen to this mini lesson
Welcome to another SHIFT Enterprise Academy mini lesson.
You just cracked open the “I” pillar, 'Imagine Your Goals,' and you already know the energy we are about to conjure is nothing short of divine architecture.
This mini lesson is not just about productivity. It’s prophetic vision engineering.
This is me, Ethan Brisby in the role of teacher and messenger showing my people both locally and globally how to build like gods, and not just grind like machines.
The I pillar in the SHIFT Approach is about Visionary Leadership and Goal-Setting. "Imagine your Goals" redefines these concepts in a into a global, mystic, digital, diaspora-aligned way. It's out little dose of alchemy in an ever evolving world.
Our aim remains the same. We are ensuring the minds we engage have clear, actionable roadmaps for their life and businesses.
Let's get into it.
The SHIFT Frequency says Vision Is Structure
In the western world, goal setting is treated like a to-do list.
In the SHIFT world, goals are sacred geometry. A goals are your divine blueprints that match your intention to your incarnation.
Moreover, Vision is not something you "hope" for. Vision is something YOU structure, activate, and embody. In THAT order, and you are the owner.
This is Goal Setting as Soul Work.
🌍 Ok, let's begin with a History Lesson called 'Global + Ancient Alignment.'
The Dogon of Mali didn’t draw constellations, they understood their alignment with the Sirius star system.
The Mayans didn’t just track time, they encoded destiny into calendar cycles. Similarly, the builders of Timbuktu, Axum, and Kush didn’t hope for success, they planned for whole civilizations.
So we don’t just set goals.
We chart stars, align with cosmic order, and design outcomes.
This is the foundation of visionary leadership in the SHIFT Era.
If you do not know about any of the above civilizations, take some time this week to study one or two of them. We must remember who we are in order to set our compass for the road ahead.
🎯 What an opening. Now let's go deeper into the Core Concepts in This Mini Lesson.
1. Vision Without a Roadmap Is Just a Vibe
We are not here just to vibe. You can do that any day.
Hope is NOT a strategy.
Vision without execution is hallucination.
SHIFT teaches you how to go from:
Imagination → Intention
Intention → Insight
Insight → Implementation
If we are talking strictly business, that process can be understood as "idea to market."
Regardless, and whether you are in Kampala or Killeen, Nairobi or New Orleans... the roadmap you set becomes your spiritual GPS.
2. Make Your Vision Specific, Strategic, and Spiritual
We have to give birth to clarity.
Write 5-year and 90-day plans like a priest inscribing a scroll.
Be clear: What’s the outcome, what’s the process, and who must you become to hold it?
At the end of the day, progress is about "becoming."
Ask yourself daily: Does my current behavior reflect my divine assignment?
Don't play yourself.
3. Growth Demands Pruning
If you expect to remain on the narrow path, anything not serving you will have to fall away. There is no other way.
Don’t fear the detours.
The tree that bears fruit must be cut back to bloom bigger.
Yeshua (Jesus) taught "You will know them by the fruit they bear."
SHIFT teaches you how to embrace strategic pivots...without losing your core identity.
Remember, your vision is not static. It’s alive. Treat it like a living organism, not a statue.
Free Game for my Champions: Do not share your vision with just anyone. Small minds have a very hard time processing large plans. Conceal your plans as you become the person who you need to be.
🧬 The SHIFT Approach, Framework for Digital-Age Goal Architecture
Here’s how we build goals at SHIFT Enterprise Academy:
SHIFT Element | Actionable Insight |
Strategic Vision | Set 5-year anchors, then back your way into the present, but we must know where we are going. |
90-Day Sprints | Focus builds momentum. Go! Then Reassess and re-align every season. |
Market Realism | Dreams don’t compete, plans do. Know what's happening around you. |
Mindset Mapping | Trust yourself. Speak life. Know without knowing. |
Diaspora Dynamics | Align your work with global need and ancestral excellence. |
The mindset mapping part is so very important. How you see yourself and where you see yourself in the grand scheme of things is like a thermostat. You set your own temperature. You have to know that it is safe to grow. It is safe to ascend. It is also safe to let go of people, places, and things that do not align with your mindset as you ascend and grow.
✊🏾 In the Diaspora Context, I call this going From Survival to Sovereignty
Too many of us were raised to survive.
Survival in many ways means you go along to get along, and that's not power.
You need to know how to use your power for this journey.
SHIFT teaches you how to design a sovereign life.
So when we say "Imagine your goals," we mean:
Build the life your grandmother never got to imagine.
Name the vision that your ancestors prayed over in silence.
Sketch the business plan that becomes a beacon from Ghana to Guyana.
You're not just building for yourself. You’re coding liberation in the marketplace.
It's bigger than you, and you have to honor that.
However, you also have to be bold enough to decide where you are going.
This is the SHIFT way.
🧠 Mindset is everything. So some of us need a Psychology Reset. One that ushers you From Colonized Dreaming to Conscious Manifestation
The test is to find balance within each of these approaches.
Empire Programming | SHIFT Reframe |
"Set SMART goals." | "Design sacred structures." |
"What’s realistic?" | "What’s aligned with your soul contract?" |
"Stay focused." | "Stay in frequency." |
"Pivot when it fails." | "Pivot when Spirit moves." |
This is not only about what you achievement. This is also about harmony, connection, and agreement with who you really are.
✍🏾 I came in hot with this one!
Let's cool off and Reflection for a few minutes with these prompts.
Let's do it together. Set a timer for 5-7 minutes. During that time, be distraction free and ask yourself:
What vision have I been afraid to name out loud?
How can I turn my life’s purpose into a structured goal?
What outdated mindset (from colonization, trauma, or religion) do I need to release to fully imagine my next level?
Who in my lineage never had this opportunity? How can I honor them with my plan?
What does my 90-day version of greatness look like?
With just these responses, you can unlock a new level for yourself. Quit playing.
🚀 The SHIFT Approach says, 'you grow your wings, AFTER your jump' so here's your Call to take Action:
Spend 30 minutes alone, no noise, no notifications. The no noise and no notification part is important. It's also very liberating.
Write down the ONE vision that won’t leave you alone.
Break it into 3 strategic moves for the next 90 days. Then ask yourself: Who do I need to become to steward this vision well?
Remember: Guiding any goal from thought to reality is a directly related to who you become.
🪬 Here's my Final Word on this topic:
You are not just a dreamer. You are a designer of dimensions.
This life is made of way more than what you see with the naked eye.
SHIFT isn't just showing you how to set goals. We are teaching you how to initiate timelines, how to align with sacred purpose, and how to construct a life that speaks in frequencies the world can feel.
Further, you are not here to hustle. You are here to build temples with your goals. Temples that can be viewed as monuments of who you are and who you become along the way.
Here is a dynamic engagement activity for "Imagine Your Goals – The Blueprint of Becoming." It is designed as a core individual practice that can be powerfully adapted for any group setting, from a family living room to a corporate workshop.
Engagement Activity: The Sacred Blueprint: Charting Your 90-Day Constellation
The Concept:
This is not a quiz; it is an act of creation.
It transforms the lesson's final Call to Action into a tangible, visual artifact, a one-page blueprint that the Enterpriser will design themselves. It's a sacred contract between their present self and their future self, mapping the journey from imagination to incarnation.
Your Prompt
✍🏾 Activate Your Vision: Chart Your 90-Day Constellation
You have received the wisdom. Now, you will become the architect. A vision without a blueprint is just a dream. Let's build your temple.
Take a single sheet of paper, open a digital canvas, or turn to a fresh page in your journal. We will now chart the sacred geometry of your becoming.
Part 1: The North Star (Your Vision)
The lesson asks you to name the ONE vision that won’t leave you alone. Do not be "realistic." Be resonant. Write this at the top of your page. This is the unshakeable star you will navigate by.
My North Star Is: _________________________
Part 2: The Constellation (Your 90-Day Sprint)
A star is not reached in a single leap, but by navigating the smaller stars that form a path to it. What are the three most strategic moves you must make in the next 90 days to align with your North Star? These are your guiding stars.
⭐ Star 1 (Strategic Move): _________________________
⭐ Star 2 (Strategic Move): _________________________
⭐ Star 3 (Strategic Move): _________________________
Part 3: The Steward (Your Becoming)
The lesson asks: "Who do you need to become to steward this vision well?" This is the most crucial part. You must name the mindset you are releasing and the one you are embodying. Complete this declaration:
To steward this vision, the version of me who is [e.g., afraid of visibility, undisciplined, doubtful] must give way to the version of me who is [e.g., courageously expressed, focused, sovereign].
...
You have now charted your reality. This is not a to-do list. This is a sacred map.
How to Adapt This Activity for Any Group
Here is how you can frame this powerful exercise for different settings, making it universally applicable.
For the Self-Paced Learner
"Treat this blueprint as a sacred contract with yourself. Place it on your wall, make it your phone's wallpaper, look at it daily. This is your personal GPS for the next 90 days. Your only accountability is to the sovereign leader you are becoming."
For a Family Conversation ("Your Legacy Council")
"Invite each family member, from teenagers to elders, to create their own private blueprint. Then, gather as a council. Go around the circle and have each person share only their 'North Star' vision. The goal is not to judge or critique, but simply to witness and understand the dreams living within the people you love. This is how you build a family vision."
For a Men's Group ("The Shield Wall")
"In your circle, have each man create his own blueprint. Then, go around and have each man state, out loud, only their 'Steward' declaration—the mindset they are leaving behind and the one they are stepping into. This is an act of radical accountability and vulnerability, where the group becomes a shield wall supporting each man's transformation."
For a Youth Retreat ("Designing Your Temple")
"Make it creative. Provide art supplies—markers, magazines for collages, colors. Frame the 'North Star' as their biggest dream. Frame the 'Constellation' as their next adventure. Frame the 'Steward' as choosing their character. The goal is to make goal-setting feel like joyful, powerful art."
For a Train-the-Trainer Workshop
"As facilitators, your first task is to embody the work. Lead your group through the blueprint exercise for themselves. Then, break them into smaller groups to brainstorm how they would adapt this very exercise for their specific audiences (corporate, non-profit, educational). This turns the lesson into a practical tool in their facilitator's toolkit."
