In the April Issue:
Businesses start with a DREAM and a PURPOSE. Whether you have a well established business, a new start-up, or are looking to get started, that DREAM and PURPOSE are the reasons you started, or will start your business. That dream and purpose are unique to you and your business, and both are incredibly important, and you must keep in touch with them.
What is that dream for you? To gain financial, emotional and physical independence and security? To provide a needed product or service? To pay your experience forward? When was the last time you intentionally thought about that dream? One way to keep in touch with the dream is called Intentional Dreaming.
Intentional dreaming requires you to visualize your dream in as much detail as possible. Start by imagining that your dream has already come true. See what it looks, feels, sounds and smells like, to be living that reality already.
Next, focus on your dream’s purpose. No matter what the dream is, ask yourself what is the purpose of having, and accomplishing this dream? Be very clear, and use words filled with emotion to describe the purpose.
Your dreams are individual to you and the purpose for those dreams will be individual to you as well.
I’ll give you an example from when I do these exercises. A dream of mine is to live part of each year in Europe. The purpose of this dream is to have the lifestyle I want, so I can be happy and healthy, so I am able to serve my clients from anywhere in the world. When I close my eyes, and intentionally dream, here is what I experience.
I am in a small village on the Mediterranean coast of Spain. I feel the gentle breeze and sun on my skin. I hear the waves rolling onto the cliffs below, and children laughing and playing in the square.
As I’m walking, I feel and hear my footsteps on the cobblestones, as I head into town for a late lunch. I am walking past my favourite bakery, and the smell of fresh bread is all around me.
In my mind, I am already there, living my dream and accomplishing its purpose. I am happy and healthy, and my clients are living their unlimited lives. This is one of my dreams. What is one of yours? When it comes true, what will it feel and look like? What sounds, sights and aromas will you experience when it has actually happened already? When you use this technique, your dreams pull you forward on an amazing adventure and focus you to achieve them.
In addition to having a big dream, and a purpose for it, you need clarity to achieve it. Get really clear on what (and who) is helping to move you toward your dream, as well as what actions, mindsets and people are holding you back, or standing in your way. Be clear about what YOUR role is in the dream (and your business) and find others to do everything else!
I will let you in on a little secret. We are here to live as the best version of ourselves and to live the life we deserve. We stop ourselves from doing so, when we allow ourselves to become disconnected from our dreams, and feel we have to settle. I am here to tell you that is not true. You deserve to stand strong in your life. You get to make that choice. When you start dreaming, and having a purpose for your dreams, and when you gain clarity about what is helping you to achieve those dreams, you get to live the life you are here to live, a life of UNLIMITED possibilities!
