DREAM HARDER

"Here comes the dreamer!" Genesis 37:19

Why is it that those that have BIG DREAMS are meant to feel foolish?  I realize this isn't every time with everyone...but I would say more times than not.

How many have quit because someone told them they CAN'T or they SHOULDN'T?

I know a guy who sensed that his life's path was to be a minister....but his wife didn't want to feel as if they were living in a "glass house" so he didn't pursue that DREAM.

Others have had an idea; a passion for a business; musical pursuits; athletic dreams; that for one reason or another, they didn't pursue them.

What keeps people...YOU and ME, from WORKING HARD AND DREAMING HARDER?

It's not enough to just DREAM...that's just part of it.  Here are some steps to go after your DREAMS:

• WHAT DO YOU WANT?
• What is that "thing" you know you can do?  That position, passion, invention, whatever....identify it
• HAVE A PLAN
• Think about what it will take to get where you want to go
• What are the steps
• Maybe you don't know.  That's ok.  What is the first thing you can think of to do?  Whatever that is, do that first
• FIND A MENTOR
• Who has done what you are wanting to do?  Find out what all they did...good, bad and ugly, to get it done.
• Maybe you don't know someone personally, but you can be mentored by articles, books, podcasts, YouTube videos and whatever medium they have information on.
• One of my "mentors" is someone who I have never met in person, but I know him through his books and videos.
• Don't make an excuse that you don't "know" anyone to help.
• START
• I've said this here in the BEST YEAR YET blog, "The START is what stops most people."
• Once you have a well thought out plan and have all your information put together, get going!
• By starting, you'll see if you have gaps that need to be filled.  You'll see where you can make it better....but you will never know until you START.

Remember, you can have excuses or you can have results....you just can't have them both.

WORK HARD....DREAM HARDER.....NO REGRETS.
