What are your dreams for the future ?
Are you going to get a degree by the time you are 23?
Will you starty our own business before you turn 40?
Will you startyour own business until we change them to goals. Here is how:
PUT YOUR DREAMS ON PAPER. After you write a dream down, it will start to become a goal. Your path will be a lot clearer. For example, Layla Brown wrote: Before I turn 30, I'm going to be a successful designer. Now her dreams are starting to become her goal.
LIST YOUR REASONS. When things get difficult, you can read this list to yourself and it will help you to go on. This is what Layla put at her top of her list: My parents will be proud of me when I am a successful designer .
