Do you use a dream book, or a dream board to help you visualise WHY you are doing your home based business? When I first heard about a dream book, I just thought it was a load of hogwash! I found it hard to believe that sticking pictures of a new car or a holiday I wanted would help my business in any way. So every time they were mentioned, I would smile and nod, whilst thinking ‘err, no!’
Until one day at a home business meeting, when a lady bought in her dream book and showed us through it. She was so passionate about what she wanted from the future, that it shone from her. Her eyes were alight when she showed us pictures of her family and how she intended to help them once she had the money to do so. And I realised at that moment that this lady would definitely succeed in her home based business. You could just tell from the passion she had when she talked about her dreams. You knew nothing would ever stand in the way of her success. And that planted a seed (just like my last article!!) in my head.
A short while later it was my birthday and I asked one of my daughters to buy me a beautiful deep pink book that I had seen that even tied with a ribbon. I wasn’t even aware I planned on getting a dream book, but when I saw it I knew immediately what I wanted it for! Amazing how the seed of an idea can be planted in your head, and start to grow sometime later!
So a few weeks later I started thinking about what I wanted to put in my book. I knew my main WHY was to get my partner Alan out of his job. So I started with pictures of him, and how his life would look once he could give up working! Once I started giving it some serious thought, I could picture what I wanted easily. It expanded my mind and my thinking – I was actually designing my future life.
This book is ongoing; it changes monthly. Now some of my dreams have started to appear in my life and I find I have more goals to add to my book. Like grandchildren for instance and how I can help them in the future! And I am remembering long forgotten dreams or wishes I had and perhaps gave up on earlier in my life. Now I am bringing out these dreams, re-examining them and adding them to my dream book if I still want them.
And don’t make the mistake of thinking its all about a new car, house or holiday. My dream book is full of how I can help my family, friends and charities. It’s about leading a better, healthier, more fulfilling life. It’s not all about money, but thats nice too!
If you have been guilty of dismissing the idea of a dream book or board, think again! If you have a clear picture of what you want from life, you are much more likely to succeed in your home business. I know because it is slowly happening to me!! If you can visualise what you want out of life you can get it! Make it real!
Do you have a Dream Book? What is in it? Leave me a comment on my blog and let me know! If you want to know how I am achieving my dreams online, this is the system I used to cut my learning curve in half!
