How do dreams get done?

I love to dream! I love to think about building a home, going on a care-free vacation, ways I could help people. Dreaming is fun, exciting, and it’s CHEAP! As a matter of fact, dreaming is FREE!

But I realize that if any of my dreams are going to become realities, there has to be a plan in place. This is how a dream becomes a goal, and it begins in my strategy office.

This is my personal map to Dream Transformation - and it will work on ANY goal in mind!

PREPARE

Get my stuff together:

Coffee Calendar Markers

Sticky Notes Notebook Journal

Tape Computer Index Cards

Kitten (optional)

Close off distractions (cell phones, kids, Facebook, Candy Crush…)

Set a timer (one hour / two hours/more)

Pray that God will direct and grant wisdom

PLAN
