Do You Want to Make Your Dreams Come True?

Who doesn't want to make their dreams come true?
A rhetorical question?  Of course.  We all want to make our dreams come true.  Some people achieve their dreams and goals.  Some do not.  Others only partially realize their dreams or find themselves meandering—sometimes towards and sometimes away—from their dreams.

What makes the difference?
Our quote from Dr. Greg Reid gives us a quick, three-step answer:
  1. Write it down with a due date
  2. Break it down into steps (make a plan)
  3. Act on your plan

Variations on his theme are plentiful.  Most of us are familiar with the SMART goal variation.  And, who hasn't had to create an action-plan for a project or change initiative?  Positive psychology also offers some strong evidence-based strategies to help us "do" goal-setting well.

Involve Others
Another common strategy is to involve others; like those who have succeeded at achieving a dream or a goal similar to yours. Somebody has already been there and done that.  But you have to find that someone and they have to be willing to invest in you.

Engage with a Coach
What's amazing about engaging with a skilled coach is that your coach doesn't have to be an expert on your issues, dreams, or goals.  They need to be an expert at coaching. 

Strong coaches adhere to principles, standards, behaviors, and processes that work.  I answer the question, "Does coaching work?" in my video, The Coaching Process, on my coaching page.  Check it out.  It runs about six minutes.

A coach empowers you to discover, strategize, action-plan, and then hold yourself accountable (sometimes with the help of others) for making your dreams come true yourself. 

It's time to make your dreams come true.
