Yes, nearly everyone dreams of “Making It Big” one day, but only a few of them actually follow-through on their dreams. Are you curious to know if you’re one of them?
Here are some signs that suggests, you’re not only a dreamer with big-picture plans for success, but also an achiever on the fast-track to fame and success.
What do you think is necessary for “making it big” one day? I’d love to hear your thoughts!
- Well, it’s fine to “Dream Big,” but you should also “Think Big” in terms of the real world and what you can actually accomplish.
- Passion and Curiosity – I think, you’ve got to be passionate, curious, and excited about all areas of the industry, biz, and so on. Crucially, curiosity helps us approach uncertainty.
- Don’t set vague and cliché goals like “I want to be successful.” – Set a Clear Goal.
- Confidence – without confidence in yourself and your abilities, you can easily get crushed by criticism and/or negativity, which gets translated into self-destructive and self-sabotaging behaviors.
- You’ve to have a deep self-belief that you’re going to make it.
- What’s the difference between people who never achieve their dreams and people who reach their dreams?
Ask the Right Questions?
Q = What do you really want?
A = …Q = What is your real goal?
A = …Q = What are you prepared to give up?
A = …Q = What goals do you want to achieve?
A = …Q = Who do you want to become by achieving these goals?
A = …Q = What are you ready to give up about who you are now in order to become who you want to be?
A = … - You need to have a dream (A Big One!) – even if it’s a little vague – is crucial for success. Before you can start your journey, you need to have a goal in mind! – Let’s Dream big but ACT even BIGGER!
- Find people ( mentor, coach ,family members, experts, anyone you can be trust) who can support you in making these dream come true.
- The trick to making it BIG one day is simple: there is no trick. We tend to look for magical solutions when what’s needed is persistence and consistent work.
