That Dream You’ve Been Shelving? It’s Time.

Almost everybody has that "thing" that they are going to do someday that sits on the shelf of their imagination year after year and never gets beyond the dream stage.  The excuses pile up every year; there's not enough time, there's not enough money, so-and-so is already doing that so I must be too late, I'm not smart enough, educated enough, and so on!

The time to start is today!  You don't have to finish it today, you don't have to know everything before you start, and you are the person that is uniquely gifted to do it or it wouldn't be in your imagination.  The good news is, you don't have to do it by yourself.  There are resources available to help you, and all you have to do is reach!  Nobody ever gets to the end without taking the that first step, and then the next, and so on.

What can you do today that will set everything in motion to reach that goal?

Here are a few suggestions:

1) Start talking to people that have the skill sets you are missing.  Networking starts now and will pay off big at a later date.

2) Are you worried about funding this?  Start putting a small amount of money into a separate, dedicated account every week (or month, or payday).

3) Start a written list.  What do you think you need?  This list is just a living thing that will grow and change as you move toward your goal.  Don't try to thing of everything.  Start with a few items and add to it every time you think of something else.

4) Find a friend that you can share your dream with.  They will help encourage you and keep you on track as you step forward!

5) Encourage others and help them to achieve their dreams.  You will find that you reap what you sow!
