Is Your Dream In Focus? 5 Steps To Define It And Nail It

image via mie2002
As I began writing the blog THE DREAM IN ACTION.com I decided to read about about making dreams realities and how people are doing that in the real world today. About a month ago I reached out to the publisher of the book ‘Put Your Dream To The Test’ by John C Maxwell, and I was sent a free copy of the book (awesome perk of writing a blog). I dove into the book a week or so ago and I’ve decided that the content is so good that I’m going to do a bit of a series on it. The series will not be a complete review of the book, but think of it as part book report, part my thoughts on dream achievement, and part direct quotes. I hope that I can convince you to check out the book and put your dream to the test because the value I’ve experienced so far has definitely exceed the cost of the book.
Maxwell’s book is broken up in to 10 sections or questions that you need to be able to honestly ask yourself in order to put your dream to the test and evaluate the likely hood of it coming true.
- Ownership – Is your dream your dream?
- Clarity- Do you clearly see your dream?
- Reality – Is it in your control?
- Passion – Does it inspire you?
- Pathway – Do you have a strategy?
- People – Who will help you get there?
- Cost – What will you have to give up?
- Tenacity – Are you moving towards it?
- Fulfillment – Are you happy?
- Significance – Who else benefits?
Today I’d first like to pull a topic from Maxwell’s book. The idea of keeping your dream in focus, and the importance of focus in order to make any dream come to fruition.
