THREE TIPS TO HELP YOU ACHIEVE YOUR DREAMS





It’s nice to have dreams, but at the end of the day they are never going to come true unless you act on them. These 3 tips will help you clarify your dreams and work toward them in the most efficient way. Get the tips here!
Success Begins Today recommends…
1. Write Them Down: A dream written down and attached to a date becomes a goal. It sounds over-simplistic, yet that simple act is the difference between a dreamer and a doer. The statistics are staggering. People who set written goals are much more successful than those that don’t. Putting your goals where you can see them is really important.
2. Dream BIG Dreams: It’s funny, but the amazing thing to me is the fact that it is easier to accomplish a BIG dream than a small one. Big dreams are exciting and keep us motivated. They get us up in the morning and keep us motivated through the day. They attract other people to get involved. Little dreams are easily forgotten and often abandoned.
3. Focus on One Dream at a Time. An old Chinese proverb states that “A man who chases two rabbits, catches none.” Focus is critical to achieving our goals. Steve Jobs commented that the single thing that made Apple successful was the thousand projects they didn’t do. Focusing on one important goal at a time will help you stay on track.
To help you turn your dreams into reality, we have developed some tools that can help you take the first step.
1. Goal Setting Toolkit. This simple card based system gives you a place to capture your short and long term goals and keep them in front of you wherever you go.
2. Daily Planner: This handy sheet that you can print out on your printer has a place for your top 6 objectives for the day. It’s a great place to put the action steps necessary to achieve your goals.
3. Empower Hour: The best way to stay focused is to turn off distractions and do ONE thing for 48 minutes. Check out the short video that accompanies this post and see how this simple solution can revolutionize your workday and increase your productivity.
