Step #1 – Eat Your Dreams For Breakfast
The mornings are the best times to start working on your dream. Your mind is fresh, peaceful and you are free of distractions. I always say work on those things that are most important to you first and than the rest of your day will be a piece of cake. Not only are the mornings a great way to start the day, but working on your dreams before anything else will put you in a better place mentally and creatively for the remainder of the day. Most people forget to make the time for what is most important to them. Therefore, they will always make excuses because they feel they don’t have the time. Even if you don’t have time to work on your dreams because you have a 9 to 5, I recommend waking up earlier in order take an extra 20 minutes to work towards your goal. This will truly make all the difference in the world. Each day, no matter what else happens, your commitment is to make your dreams come true.
Step #2 – Ignore negative people
When you receive negative feedback, remember, it doesn’t matter how many people don’t get it, all that matters are the people who do. Many people thought we were crazy when we first began our company Market America. The truth is that most people didn’t believe in us, but that didn’t stop us! All we needed was to believe in ourselves!
Remember no matter how much progress you make there will always be the people who insist that whatever you’re trying to do is impossible. Or they may incessantly suggest that the idea or dream as a whole is utterly ridiculous because nobody really cares.
When you come across these people, don’t try to reason with them. Instead, forget that they exist. They will only waste your time and energy.
Step #3 – Commit To Your Dream
The harder you work the luckier you will become. Stop waiting around for things to work out. If you keep doing what you’re doing, you’ll keep getting what you’re getting.
While many of us decide at some point during the course of our lives that we want to answer our calling, only an astute few of us actually work on it. By “working on it,” I mean truly devoting oneself to the end result. The rest of us never act on our decision. Or, at best, we pretend to act on it by putting forth an uninspired, half-assed effort.
Remember, life is not easy, especially when you plan on achieving something worthwhile. Achieving your dreams can be a lot of work. Be ready for it.
