What’s your dream? Do you have a huge life dream that you have been working on all your life? Do you have several smaller dreams that are possibly leading up to one big dream? Do you start with one dream and then switch mid gear to another one, feeling a sense of failure because you can’t seem to stick to your dream? Dreaming is one of the great things in life, but there has to be an element of determination and planning to accomplish your dreams. Without it you go through life “wanting” and not “getting”.

To successfully accomplish a dream, you have to make a plan and stick to it. Outlining a plan, whether big or small, takes time, patience, and organization. Say your dream is to own your own business one day. You have to ask yourself the big questions such as; what is the business going to be, what time frame do I want to work in to get to that goal, what do I need to learn and what experience will I need to have to be successful in that business, how will I finance the business, what do I have to do be able to finance the business, how will I grow the business, who will my customer base be?  These are just a few of the questions you will have to ask yourself and answer. This process becomes the outline, the first step, to accomplishing the dream. This process will take time. Your patience will be tested as you search for the answers to your questions. Finding the answers will require research. Not only will you have to research written material but you will also have to talk to people with experience and similar dreams. Everyone begins this process thinking it’s a quick and simple task, but they soon find out how long the process can be, so don’t get discouraged. 

Once you have designed an outline for your dream, you will need to give it a time frame and decide how you are going to accomplish it. Maybe you need more education in the field you want to go in, maybe you need hands on experience, maybe you have these things but need a financial plan to get to start up. Set goals within your time frame to get to the end goal. Accomplishing your dream may take you a year, or three years, or possibly more. Having a clear vision of how long it’s going to take to get to the desired goal will help you stay focused and on track.

Focus and determination will bring you to a successful end. Surround yourself with people who have faith in you and want you to accomplish your goals. A positive support group is a huge asset. Be smart in your choices and be grateful all along the way. We all deserve to dream big and enjoy the success those dreams can bring!
