Unlock your potential: how to start following your dreams
I've been reflecting on how exciting and scary it is to follow your dreams. Pursuing your dream vision, whatever that might be, requires stepping out of your comfort zone and facing uncertainty. Even though it might seem like you’re the only person struggling with it, everyone encounters obstacles and challenges that can be overwhelming and make us want to give up. It's during these difficult times that your mindset becomes crucial to your success. In this blog post, I'll share my personal reflection on the excitement and fear of following my dreams, and the mindset pattern I follow to get through hard times. I hope that my experiences will inspire and encourage you to keep pushing towards your goals, even when it gets tough.
Every entrepreneur and every brave person out there has been at this spot before - you can see what your dream is, you (almost) know what it takes to get there, you can imagine how amazing it would feel to live it but… you still need to take that leap. Or you’re already down the path towards your vision but you feel stuck at a certain level that you can’t seem to get past. It’s a hard spot to be in, I’ve been there too so let me share my #1 hack for making amazing things happen. I want to share my process and the steps I walk through to get myself into that creation dream zone! This is what I usually tell myself and what I now want to tell you:
You got this
If you have made it this far your dream is constantly on your mind and you can’t stop thinking about it. If that's you, then deep down in your heart you know that you want to commit and either start or elevate your amazing business or your dream wedding. You don’t need anyone to convince you that it’s a good idea or to give you an endless list of pros and cons. The only way to quiet that voice is to 1000% go for it and I believe in you so much! So we’ve crossed that off our list, you got this!
You got this today
You might have a long list of questions, concerns or fears and that’s ok. But can I tell you one thing that will help with all that - don't leave things to later or later will never come. We all have new years resolutions or plans that didn't work out, but not this time, not you. If you’re wondering when is the best time to follow your dreams the answer to that is YESTERDAY! If that didn’t work out then the next best is starting NOW. Starting somewhere and remember that you don't need to be amazing, confident or even good at it, you just need to get your reps in. Ask anyone who has achieved something great and they will tell you that their only regret is that they didn't start earlier. So, today is the day to start!
You got this today and it's easy
Ok, so we know you need to start doing things NOW. That might sound intimidating but I have a cure for that too - your first steps need to be so simple that you can do them in 2 minutes. Here’s the trick, your steps need to be specific and actionable, you need to plan when you will do them and you need to commit to them. Your first steps might sound something along the lines of ‘today at 6pm I will write down my step plan for the next week’ or ‘tomorrow at 3pm I will send an email to ABC to ask for a quote for service X’. Assigning a simple task that you can complete in 2 minutes ensures you will actually go through with it. Committing a time and date for your task makes you accountable.
That’s the trick, that’s how great things start! I always remind myself that starting somewhere and making progress is a lot more important than being perfect. This has helped me get through many bumps in the road.
Words of wisdom
I want to share a piece of wisdom that has been a good driving force for me when I’ve been feeling stuck in my own head. I hope it helps you as much as it has helped me.
"Get out there, and start the work — before you’re ready. You don’t need to know everything about your dream, nor do you need to map out every step in advance. Stop hiding behind books and websites. Instead develop a bias for action. Make appointments. Have real-life conversations. You’ll learn more and make faster progress" - Marie Forleo
