When this foundational piece is missing, we are only dreamers, not doers. The worst part is we will be filled with remorse and regret by dreaming big and acting small. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Once you get clear on what you want, be sure you get out and get it!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">This could mean you will need the help of a system or a person to help you get there. When I create my vision for the year, I specifically name or list what it is I need to accomplish it.

My &#8220;ideal&#8221; in some of those areas seem so common now. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">For example, I mentioned that I wanted to put on my first event by April 20th. Despite some massive testing of faith, I put on my first event with about 40 people in the room on April 12th. None of the attendees knew that I spent <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>my last $500<\/em><\/span> on a surprise dinner!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Faith-building experiences, like that one, became gold for me. I had to wander in the darkness, holding on to that vision. The key was that I still had to act, even though I had no promise of a reward. Fortunately, as it always does, it paid off and I put on 2 other events afterwards.
