Do you find yourself starting sentences off with phrases like, “My dream is…?” I know how that is - I used to be like that. My first “dream” was to be a freelance writer. At one point, I realized that it was time to make my dream a reality.

My first year as a freelancer I made $60. My earnings went up for there and now I make a decent salary. I’ve realized that my “dream” came true not because I wished it, but because I took action. I wrote a business plan and put myself out there. The assignments started to trickle in until I had enough work to make a salary.

My next “dream” is to reach the six figure mark. But instead of letting myself “dream” too long, it’s time to take that and turn it into a goal with action steps.

Your assignment is to think about the dreams you have. Do you want to retire soon? Do you want to make six figures? Whatever it is, turn that dream or wish into a goal, give  yourself a timeline, and make it happen.  That’s what I do and it is such a wonderful feeling when you do what you set out to do.
