Following your dream is not always an easy task and I can talk about my dreams for hours. Having big dreams is great but unless you take action and make those dreams a reality, the dreams are worth nothing.
In fact, I believe having big dreams without taking action can make you easily depressed, especially when you see other people living your dream successfully.
Today, during the TV program from Donny Deutsch called: The Big Idea, I was reminded again that I was falling in the same trap of only dreaming about my ideas and not taking the next step.
Only I can take steps to make my dreams come true, nobody else can do that for me. In fact Joel Osteen, a popular pastor, preaches these same words in many of his books and that God wants you to live your life in the best possible way and rewards will follow.
Anyways, during the commercial breaks, I caught myself dreaming a few steps ahead during the TV program: wishing that I have a successful business and make a lot of money. I was dreaming or actually thinking what I can do with all that money that I am going to earn. I was dreaming how proud my wife would be if I become a successful business man. “Big mistakeâ€, I said to myself after the show. My wife will only be proud if I take the first step towards success and commit to a goal.
Robert Shemin was today’s guest in Donny Deutsch’s program. He made in a very motivational way clear to me that the first step you take is action. Just like the Nike slogan says: Just Do It. He also made clear to set only one goal at the time. That’s right, only one powerful success goal. Preferably, set a goal that is expressed in a financial statement and promise yourself to focus on that goal before setting another goal. Don’t set a goal in which you don’t improve yourself. In other words: don’t waste your time.
I am very enthusiastic about Robert’s wise words and checked out his new book called:
How Come That Idiot’s Rich and I’m Not?
Unfortunately, his book is not being published till Match 2008. I hate it that his book is not yet been published because there are some good topics described in his book.
Other elements from his book that will be handled:
- play while your money goes to work
- stop building someone else’s business and start building your own
- live and think like a millionaire while you’re becoming one
- use the power and “smarts†of other Rich Idiots to help you join the Rich Idiot Club
- add OPI (other people’s ideas), OPT (other people’s time), and OPE (other people’s experience) to do less and make more tap into timeless secrets that unlock the energy and spiritual power of money
Well, I am telling you. I am not going to wait with taking action to become successful till Robert’s book is published. The message was clear: Take action!
By the way: on the Big Idea website from Donny Deutsch, you will find some awesome examples on how people took action and became successful. I recommend you to take a look at these articles and let me know what you think about his TV program.
