Dream Up a Little Plan That Gets Results!

Starting a business? You need a business plan.

WAIT! We're not talking about some boring, formalized plan written on reams of paper for finacial types. Besides, you probably wouldn't do this anyway. You likely would dismiss its importance and pass it over for something easier, faster; something you can do right now.

Maybe there is a simple and quick task that is just as important, doesn't take much effort and is more fun than writing a business plan. Remembering that nothing will really take the place of a well-thought out and formal business plan, this is much more fun, and very effective! It's called Day Dreaming for Success (or Dream Day) and it's a super powerful process.

Get some YOU time to start this task. The goal of it is to decide what it is that you really and truly want, clarify it in your brain and cement for all eternity (or at least the next several years).

To begin, get yourself into a quiet, rested mode. Be free from distractions. Be able to think clearly and peacefully about what it is that you truly want. The main reason you would do this task is to get a finely detailed mental image for yourself; something you will be able to "pull up" in your mind time and again in the future.

The vision you have should entail your "dream life" and be your life exactly as you would like to live it (business, personal, family, everything!) It's not the same thing as a standard business plan, but it will be a powerful force to use to keep you motivated.

Make it like a snapshot in time. Envision your life at a particular time in your life when everything is "clicking." You'll understand after you complete this task that it will be a moment when you feel your life how you would like it to be. It should be you, family, friends, your business, material items, just about everything. Be very clear and very honest with yourself. Take notes and describe this moment as best you can. It's a simple task and you should do it thoroughly.

To start, be alone without any other distractions. be unstressed and clear-minded. Now, conjure up a picture a day in your perfect life. How do you look? Be very descriptive: What are you wearing? What is your hair, body, clothing like, etc.? Where are you? What are you doing? Who is with you? How are you feeling? How are your friends and family feeling? Are you active or relaxing? What are you doing? Descibe your house? How about your car? Travel? Are you very social with many friends? Are material items important? What type of weather is it? Are you inside or outside? What's going on at the moment? Where do you live? Tell yourself what your dream life looks like.nn--Get the feeling of success in that moment and write it down. Feel the accomplishment of success. Write it down. It could be just a brief moment with your family near a swimming pool or maybe with friends while skiing in a beautiful location. See what it is and feel everything else in your life as you want it to be.

It is a day in your dream life. Be logical or think go a little nuts! Picture yourself caught in a momentary "photograph" that you will be able to look upon and feel achivement. You still have dreams after the photo was taken, of course. But that at that second the picture was snapped, your dreams had been largely achieved. Make it a second of happiness and peace for yourself.

Be descriptive and clear. Get familiar with the photo you create in your head. It will be a great asset to you as you can pull it up over and over again to remind you of what you really want in life.

When you're feeling stressed and disappointed, you can recall this snapshot and remind yourself the rewards that await your for your hard work and sacrifices now. You can use it to make you life exactly what you want.
