Do you have a dream today?
Can you see yourself in one year, three years, ten years?
Can you describe the house you will live in? The clothes
you will wear? The routine you will follow every day?
Far from some pie-in-the-sky hype, dreams are the real
currency of the Internet.
Many reading these words dream of quitting their job
and working at home. Some dream of having a home of
their own. Some don't dream any more.
No matter where you stand today please consider the
following.
My friend, your dream is your map. Without it how will
you know where you are going?
Recent events have driven home the fact that life is
short indeed. Too short to spend it working at a job
we don't love.
Listen to these words by Brian Tracy ...
All successful men and women are big dreamers. They
imagine what their future could be, ideal in every respect,
and then they work every day toward their distant vision,
that goal or purpose. - Brian Tracy
If you were my brother or sister, this is what I would
say to you.
You must have a dream to make a dream come true. And
you must never surrender your dream.
If you are like most people you will spend more time
working than doing any other activity. Yet, many today
don't like their work.
So the question becomes this. Can you do what you love
for a living? Can you find the joy that comes when you
WANT to go to work?
To that question I answer YES ... you can. I can say
that because it's happening to me.
I don't usually write something this personal, but please
allow me to share with you the five steps I used to
make my dream come true on the Internet. And let me
encourage you to take these steps in your life today.
Time is fleeting. Begin now.
1. Realize that the Internet really has changed things.
Jobs exist today that didn't five years ago. The thing
that got me started on the Internet, that helped me
create my dream, was a book called 'Finding Your Perfect
Work'.
That book helped me realize that I could create *any*
situation I wanted on the Internet. The Net is still
new territory. To a great degree, if you can dream it
you can do it.
2. Know yourself. What do you REALLY want? Spend some
time with yourself and 'wave the magic wand'. If you
could do anything, if money wasn't a factor, what would
you do? Keep asking until you find an answer.
3. Research your answers. You will be shocked to discover
the career possibilities online. Pick your favorite
search engine, start a bookmark folder just for this,
and find everything you can about your passion.
4. Ask for help. Once you have zeroed in on what you
want, find someone who excels at it and learn at their
feet. Be prepared to get turned down a few times from
people who are too busy or uncaring. But never quit.
You *will* find the mentor you need if you try.
5. Be willing to start small. You may only be able to
commit a few hours at night to your new field because
you have to feed the family. That's OK. Time is your
ally. And time will prove if your idea will work.
Careers like being a virtual assistant, a net researcher,
or doing graphic art for e-Books exist today because
of innovative thinkers who found their passion. Find
your passion and you will create your opportunity.
Don't stop until you find (or create) that type of work
that both makes you happy and pays the bills. Who knows,
YOU might be the innovator who creates the next online
industry.
Winston Churchill said 'The nose of the bulldog has
been slanted backward so it can breathe without letting
go.'
When it comes to our dreams we need to be like the bulldog.
We must never surrender our dreams.
