Dream Big - Start NOW

"Success is possible for anyone who is willing to find their way.”

If you are anything like me, you DREAM BIG!

It's fantastic to dream big, but a dream without a plan, is just a fairy tale. In addition, we can make plans, but if we don't prioritize the steps to “climb” the plan and reach the “dream destination”, we most likely will either not get there, be burnt out, or not pay attention to our families or our own self care (in otherwise LIVE a full life) on the journey towards our dream.

It all starts with BELIEVING that you can reach your dream. If it's someone else's dream for you, if you don't want it or believe it, you won't get there. BUT, if you have a dream and are willing to work towards achieving it, I BELIEVE success is inevitable for you!

When you start a business in direct sales or network marketing, quite often you have dreams of being a leader, a top performer, a top recruiter, etc. What often happens is you see others reaching these goals, you hear what your upline or company says to do, but you don't really know how to start or where to start, or for that matter, what to do after that!

It can be frustrating seeing others achieve what you want to faster or what you may perceive as easier. Here's the thing, you can't compare yourself with anyone but yourself. That being said, YOU CAN STILL REACH YOUR DREAMS. Let's set up a plan to get you there.

Your BIG DREAM and how to plan to reach it.

• What is your BIG DREAM - the one that keeps you up at night, the one that you can picture, but you almost don't believe it is possible.

• Picture your dream at the top of a very tall staircase with lots of landings in between.

• Now, think of what is the very last step or activity that you have to take/do right before you make your goal. For example, to move up a rank in your business you have to get a certain amount of sales, so that last step might be sell your last $100.

• Next, let's go to the bottom of that staircase; what is the very first thing you might need to do to reach your goal? For example, perhaps it is create a social media account for your business and announce to the world what you are doing.

• Think of the landings on the staircase as achievements that you make on the way to your dream goal. For instance, your first landing might be getting your first sale or sponsoring your first new recruit. IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO CELEBRATE THESE WINS ALONG THE WAY! It is the journey that makes the difference.

• Picture how it feels to reach those milestones along the way.

• Now it is time to lay out all the activities and milestones you will reach along the way, and plan it out. I love a good brainstorming session, and now is the time to do it. Set a timer for 15 minutes and start writing all the things you need to do to reach your goal. Write the small tasks and the big projects. If you need more time after 15 minutes, set another timer. The idea is to get it out on paper.

• Prioritize and create boundaries for what you want to do, what time it takes, and how you will do it. Make sure to allow time for your family, friends and your own self care.

• Remember, this is YOUR plan. You need to make sure it fits into your life and your time frame. Do not rush or slow down because someone else wants you to. You need to find your own way and at your own pace and with your own circumstances!

• Lastly, but also the first thing is to TAKE THAT FIRST ACTION - that first step on your staircase to reach your dream goal.

Your success is already there, it's up to you to be willing to plan and find your way, and I know you will reach it and even more.
