Dreaming Big – 100 Days at a Time!
Do you have big dreams?
I mean REALLY Big DREAMS!
If you don’t… then it’s definitely time to dream bigger!!
If you do… you may feel a bit overwhelmed by your goals.
We are going to tackle both scenarios in this blog!
The first thing you’re going to want to do is purchase a journal. Yep, you are going to be journaling every day! Wait!!!… hang with me here... Your journaling will only take 10 minutes in the morning and evening. That’s only 20 minutes a day!!! Surely you can dedicate 20 minutes a day to creating your dream life!
Start with writing down your BIG DREAMS!!!! Don’t filter your thought on this one… be specific:
Where will you work?
What are the elements of your ideal job / business / career?
How much money will you earn?
Where will you live?
When and where is your next vacation?
Now that you can SEE your dream life… open your journal to the first two blank pages. The left side will be used for your morning journaling, and the right will be used for your evening journaling. Here is what you’ll be writing about:
