Description: YOU NEED TO TAKE ACTION ON YOUR DREAM(S). If imma be straight up with you, I get super irritated when people sit on their rear ends when they could be working towards their dreams. As Rachel Hollis would say, I literally want to shake them until they get it, until they believe they are worth it. I don’t need you to drop your whole life, and put all your eggs in your dream basket. Sometimes I think that’s what holds people back. Perhaps they think it has to be all or nothing. And it doesn’t. Buuuuuttttt I do see a lot of humans making NO PROGRESS towards the actual life they want for themselves. And I dislike that. If you’re in my fam, I want you to live out your highest purpose. Whatever that is. Whatever that looks like for you. I want people to bet on themselves. Whether that’s with an actual monetary investment or just taking action with the belief that they CAN make it happen. I have a notebook and a canvas in my office that both say “make it happen.” That is the very phrase that got me through my first few years of biz and still gets me to take action through adversity today. The simple believe that I can make it happen. That whatever “it” is, is in the cards for me. But friend, you can’t make your dreams happen without ACTION. I swear this episode isn’t just me complaining and expressing my irritation with people lack of dream chasing. Its intended to show you actual tools you can use to start taking steps towards that dream. To share tools to help you TAKE ACTION. The first step for me is something I learned in The 4-Hour Workweek (by Tim Ferriss), one of my fav books. The purpose of this practice is to identify what’s holding you back, your road block. Once you identify it, you then need to take the power away from that "thing." (Whatever your road block may be). NUMBER ONE Ask the hard questions: First: what’s the worst that can happen?Then: how might you come back from that? This is not expecting failure, this is moving past and taking the weight off that fear of failure (whatever that is for you). And I need you to go deep here, like think about the ACTUAL worst thing that could happen.... Okay? Then, take a deep breath, and let that shit go.Hopefully you feel less bogged down and restricted by that weight. I do want to mention that fear will be ever present when chasing dreams, but it doesn’t need to be the driver of your decision making. Moving on. NUMBER TWO Work backward: You don’t need to know all the details. This is not meant to overwhelm you. But you do need to start by asking yourself a few questions. What do you want? What’s the outcome you’re shooting for? And this doesn’t even have to be starting a business. This is personal to you. That thing that keeps you up at night. That’s your dream, that’s what I’m talking about. When I started my biz online, I knew the dream was to work from home, to roll out of bed without an alarm, and go about my day as I pleased. It wasn’t to get a barbell in every woman’s hand, or help people live their best life. That is 100% NOT what drove me to build this business. I don’t actually know if I’ve ever talked about that before, or not in such a clear manner... So yes, the human body and education are my passions. But, they are simply the means by which I achieved my BIG GOAL. Only you know your goal, what IS YOUR goal? For me it was literally to work online... Soooooo now we work backward. What might I do online? Where can I build an audience? Because I will need clients, people will need to buy my services. But they won’t just do that without knowing me, right? Great, so I need to be online SOMEWHERE. Hello Instagram. Now, already. ALREADY you are taking action towards your dream just by doing these exercises. CELEBRATE THAT! Celebrate that you are not just thinking about your dream. It’s not an unattainable fairy tale.
