I talk to people all over the country about achieving their dreams, about success and what it takes to have a great lifestyle. I see a common theme among many people who are not achieving success. When I ask them what their ultimate dream is, they can't come up one. They look at me like a deer in the headlights, stumped by the question. "What do you mean by a dream?" they ask me. "I can't figure out what I want out of life, I don't think I have a dream". I hear this all of the time. With that in mind, I have identified 4 steps you have to do to deepen your dream. Remember, that a dream doesn't have to be huge, it has to be emotional.
1. You have to commit to finding and identifying the thing that makes you emotionally moved to action. Sometimes you need a Push Dream and sometimes you need a Pull Dream. A Push Dream is a reason to build your business that you are running from, or a negative situation that you want to avoid. It could even be something you feel you have to prove. A Pull Dream is a reason to build your business to achieve something you desire. I need both a Push and a Pull dream in order to run at the optimum pace.
2. Spend time looking at things or visiting places that deepen your resolve to achieve your dream. You have to take the time to build your dream by touching, smelling, tasting, and feeling what ever it is that emotionally makes you get out of your comfort zone. This is the concept of sharpening your saw mentally. Dream building is a must of optimum performance.
3. Visulize your dream in your mind. See yourself having accomplished your dream. Close you eyes and visualize yourself doing your dream, holding your dream, and achieving your dream. You have to feel the emotions of having achieved your goal and dream. Figure out what having your dream looks like. What is the first clue that you have achieved your dream.
4. Write down your dreams. Your dream will be achieved by hitting a level in the business on a certain date. You have to write your dream in such a way that it evokes your emoitons and makes you feel your success. If you don't feel anything when you read your dreams then it's not your hot button. Hand write you dreams as if you already accomplished each dream. Read your dream list everyday.
Bottom line is... you have to work at developing your dream. If you won't take time to crystalize you dream, you will never achieve it. @ copyright 2010 Mark Carlisle
