Our coaching company focuses on working with Realtors to improve their businesses. But we also work with them to help them improve their lives away from real estate. One exercise we use to get people thinking about their true dreams and goals, is we ask the question,"If you knew you COULD NOT fail, what 5 things would you accomplish? Remember, you CANNOT fail." Some people when asked this question can answer it almost immediately, others reply that they have no idea. Well, that's the point of the exercise. It is to get you to begin thinking about what you really would like to accomplish, without the doubts and opinions of all the naysayers. There are no limits on this question, take a moment and think to yourself, "What would I want to accomplish if I knew I COULD NOT fail." I would like to share with you my answers when I first asked myself this question 6 years ago:
1. Start my own coaching and motivation business. (Done)
2. Host my own motivational radio show. (Done, but would like to continue doing it.)
3. Host my own motivational television show. (In the idea only stage.)
4. Start a completely self-help TV network. (Pitched the idea a few times, but have not gotten anywhere yet.)
5. Build the Bungert Children's Hospital on Long Island. (My ultimate life goal.)
As you can see by my answers, there are smaller dreams and really big dreams. I'm 2 for 5 so far, and you never know, I might go 5 for 5. The only way to accomplish your true dreams and goals, is to first know what they are. Then you can go about taking the steps necessary to accomplishing your goals. Take a few minutes this morning, go somewhere quiet, bring a pad and pen with you and just start to think about this question. Think about what you would truly like to accomplish in this life, write down your answers and then begin making the first one happen. Heck, you'll probably be 2 for 5 before you know it! I'd like to leave you this morning with one of my favorite quotes, it's by a man who knows a thing or two about accomplishing dreams.
All our dreams can come true-if we have the courage to pursue them. -Walt Disney
Until next time, all the best!

P.S. If anyone can help me accomplish 3,4 and 5 on my list, I'd love to talk with you!
