You might disagree with what I'm about to tell you and that's OK.

Many "so -called experts" would think I'm wrong for thinking this way and I'm fine with that.

But what I want to share with you can make a HUGE difference in your life.

Even though it's one of the simplest things to do, it's also one of the toughest to do on a consistent basis.
 
Not even I have mastered it.  I continue to work on getting better with it day by day.

What am I talking about?

You see, I used to "Think BIG".

Now, there's nothing wrong with having a BIG VISION...something to strive for that's bigger than you.

I know you have done it at some point in your life with some part of your life.
 
We all have BIG DREAMS, but the problem is we can rarely focus over the long haul on what we need to do to achieve those dreams. 

Distractions play such a big part in our daily lives that often we don't even consciously  recognize them anymore.  We allow our habits  to take over and that's just the way it is.
 
Have you ever thought about achieving something  in your life for over a period of a couple of years, whether in your business or personal life, but have yet to come close to achieving it?
 
I know I have.
 
But why haven't I achieved it?
 
Was I not committed enough?
 
Was I not focused enough?
 
Was it something that I REALLY wanted or thought would be neat to have or do?
 
Well, having BIG DREAMS without having a game plan to achieve them hasn't worked for me and maybe hasn't worked for you either.
 
BUT there is a way to achieve your BIG DREAMS...
 
Think smaller.
 
Yes, I said "THINK SMALLER!"
 
Haven't you heard about how you eat an elephant...one bite at a time?  Sure you have.
 
Sit down and take some time to determine what it is you want to achieve and then write down what activities you need to consistently focus on to achieve it.  Really break down everything that you need to do yourself or to delegate to others.

Then set a realistic time frame to achieve it, but again break it down to bite-size pieces, so that when you complete phase 1, phase 2, etc. that you reward yourself.  Write down how you will reward yourself after completing each phase.  Even go out and buy what it is you'll give yourself when you've finished each phase.
It's a big deal.  You've earned it.  It's all part of building on your successes.

If it takes a little longer than you thought, then re-calculate your time line.  Don't beat yourself up about it.  Just do it and move forward.

I'll continue with "how to put this strategy into effect" soon....keep your eyes open for Part 2!

To your success,

Dan
