"Earning a Living" Stopping You?

Every year, people resolve that THIS New Year will be different: "This
will be the year that I write that book, start that new venture, double
my income, take more time off to spend with my family," and the list
goes on and on. However, it is common to think about pursuing your
dream, and then squashing the idea because it doesn't seem practical.
Does this sound familiar? You have a dream, but are afraid that if you
pursue it, you would risk giving up what you already have. It is easy to
put it off to a later date -- a time when there will be more money, more
time and/or when the kids have graduated from college.
However, there is never a time when everything in your life is perfect
for carrying out your goals. Don't wait for everything to be lined up.
Once you actually commit to your dream, things will begin to fall into
place. Know that is possible to live out your fondest dreams AND make a
great living!
After supporting thousands of people across the globe in making their
personal and professional dreams a reality, I have found the following
strategies to be most effective:
First, design your life around your priorities. Many people try to fit
their dreams into their life and complain there are not enough hours in
the day to make it happen. If you want your dream to become a reality,
make it a priority.
Second, handle the basics (food, clothing and shelter) then reach for
fulfillment and self-actualization. If you can't stand your job any
longer or have been forced out and you need a source of income, get a
low-stress interim job to pay the bills while your pursue your dream.
Visualize every step of your dream and watch the magic unfold. For
example, an experiment conducted by Australian Psychologist Alan
Richardson found a 23 percent performance improvement among subjects who
visualized every day for 20 days.
Laser in on one idea, business or income stream at a time. One of the
mistakes people make is diversifying too quickly. This is true whether
you are trying to build multiple streams of income or are just working
on several different ideas at one time. The key is getting the first
stream or idea up and running and having systems in place so it will
keep running without you before going on to the next unrelated stream.
And last but not least, develop your resilience muscle by bouncing back
from setbacks. You will very likely have setbacks along the way. Don't
get stopped by these bumps in the road; learn from them
