Bill Zanker – Visionary Thinker – Mr. William Zanker, a visionary thinker indeed

Today the term “visionary” is used rather loosely, but few people really know what the term means. William Zanker, the founder and president of The Learning Annex knows what it means because he is one. He, like all visionaries, is an individual with clarity of thought, a passion for a clearly defined experience, and a foresight of how that passion can be manifested.

He has been living that vision since 1981 when he took $5,000 of his bar mitzvah money and began offering adult learning programs. Those classes evolved to become the Learning Annex which has expanded to include real estate and money exhibits and online education.

A vision is a wish for a quality of experience coming upon someone. It is something that he or she needs to have. You don’t “want” a vision, you “need” it. The visionary is moved by the vision of her. This would describe Donald Trump, the developer, Warren Buffett, the investor, and Suze Orman, the financial adviser and television personality.

As you can see, simply having a vision is not enough. A vision needs to take some form. That’s why millions of students have attended classes at The Learning Annex and flocked to these Money Expos: to help them define their visions and give these visions specific forms. A goal is very specific and detailed and a vision is not.

What Mr. William Zanker does through Money Expos is help a person decide on a goal, create a game plan, organize all the necessary items, and then put the plan into action.

But he hasn’t stopped there. He continued to explore the visioning process by co-authoring the New York Times bestseller “Think Big & Kick Ass in Business & Life!”, which he co-authored with Donald Trump.

The system that Bill Zanker has created is essential for all those who wish to become a “Warren Buffett” or a “Donald Trump”. In life there are too many factors that are out of your control.

In fact, if you look at your own life, you will see that many of the things you planned to do did not work out as you expected. You may have even achieved your goal, but chances are the path to that goal was very different than what you envisioned when you started the process.

That’s why business people read INC Magazine, Forbes, Fortune and Money Magazine. Even visionaries need to be trained and mentored, which is why The Learning Annex exists.
