Seven-Step Formula to Achieve Your Dream
(October 2001)
Can achievement be broken down into steps? Well, it isn't always that clean and easy, but I do know that those who achieve great things usually go through much of the same process, with many of these items listed below as part of the process. So if you've been struggling with achievement, look through the following internalize the thoughts presented. Then begin to apply them. You'll be on the road to achieving your dream!
Dream it. Everything begins in the heart and mind. Every great achievement began in the mind of one person. They dared to dream, to believe that it was possible. Take some time to allow yourself to ask "What if?" Think big. Don't let negative thinking discourage you. You want to be a "dreamer". Dream of the possibilities for yourself, your family and for others. If you had a dream that you let grow cold, re-ignite the dream! Fan the flames. Life it too short to let it go. (Also, check out my article Dare to Dream Again, which has been read by close to a million people in the last four months alone. You can see it a the web site http://www.madeforsuccess.com
Believe it. Yes, your dream needs to be big. It needs to be something that is seemingly beyond your capabilities. You must be able to say that if certain things take place, if others help, if you work hard enough, tough it is a big dream, it can be done. Good example: A person with no college education dream that he will build a $50 million-a year-company. That is big, but believable. Bad example: That a 90 year-old woman with arthritis will someday run a marathon in under three hours. It is big all right, but also impossible. She should instead focus on building a $50 million a year business. And she better get a move on it!
See it. The great achievers have a habit. They "see" things. They picture themselves walking around their CEO office in their new $25 million corporate headquarters, even while they are sitting on a folding chair in their garage "headquarters". Great free throw shooters in the NBA picture the ball going through the basket. PGA golfers picture the ball going strait down the fairway. World-class speakers picture themselves speaking with energy and emotion. All of this grooms the mind to control the body to carry out the dream.
Tell it. One reason many dreams never go anywhere is because the dreamer keeps it all to himself. It is a quiet dream that only lives inside of his mind. The ones who want to achieve their dreams must tell that dream to many people. One reason; as we continually say it, we begin to believe it more and more. If we are talking about it, it spurs us on to actually do it so we don't look foolish.
Plan it. Every dream must take the form of a plan. The old saying that you "get what you plan for"" is true. Your dream won't just happen. You need to sit down on a regular basis and plan out your strategy for achieving the dream. Think through all the details. Break the whole plan.
