What is Your Dream?
I know some folks think that a “dream” has to be something huge – like being a millionaire or living in an ocean-view mansion, or driving a sports car.
But I believe that a dream just has to be something that you know will change your life if you achieve it.
My dream is to help others achieve their dreams.
So, what’s your dream?
Do you want to finally start that business you’ve always wanted? Do you want to add some direction and joy into your life? Do you want to discover your passion and finally start living your dream?
Whatever your dream is … You Can Achieve It!
Here are the 4 steps that I am taking and how I work each and every day to achieve my dream.
First … You have to Have a Dream
I know, you’re thinking … of course. But what this step means is that you have to really focus and pinpoint EXACTLY what it is that you want. You need to be able to see it, taste it, smell it. Take some time and visualize what your life would actually look like if you had that dream. How would you feel? What would you be doing differently? Get that picture in your mind and in your heart so clearly that you can step into it just by closing your eyes.
Step 2 – Set Your Goals
Now that you have your vision, you need to set specific milestones to achieve within a specific time frame. For example, if your dream is to be a stay-at-home parent, you need to have a specific date in mind when that will begin. You will need to have a specific monthly income in mind that will allow you to do this. Your goals need to SMART – Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Time-Bound.
These are the actual steps that you will take to meet your goals. They also need to be very specific and include timelines and action items. This step is taking the proverbial elephant of your dream and your goals, and breaking them down into bite sized pieces. To follow the same example of becoming a stay-at-home parent, this step might include, brainstorm ideas for working from home to replace your current income, developing the steps necessary to begin that process, coming up with a budget, connecting with others who have done this successfully.
Step 4 – Take Massive Action
Commit to do whatever it takes each and every day to make your dream a reality. You work your plan to meet your goals. Always keep your dream and your vision in mind, you remind yourself why you are doing this. And work with others who will help motivate and encourage you as you pursue your dream and take steps each day to get you closer to your vision.
My dream is to help others live their dream.
I do this through coaching others on these 4 steps.
It’s my passion. And it gets me excited and motivated to get out of bed every day and do what it takes to help others.
And when I help others – it helps me.
I’d love to help you Live Your Dream!
To Living Our Dreams,
