The business of the business: Falling in love with your dream
Many of us have not taken the time to discover what our true dreams are.
Falling in love with your dream is that “take your breath away” experience when you know you are walking on the path of your true purpose in life. In sports terminology, “you’re in the zone”. What is your dream? Well, it certainly has a lot to do with what you consider truly important to you, but it takes some intense digging.
Many of us have not taken the time to discover what our true dreams are.
More of us take the time to plan our 2 week family vacation, than take the time to fully understand what our purpose in life is. We don’t take the time to discover our passion, truly tap into what our dream for our life is, and then fall in love with that dream and go after it.
When we take the time to discover our dream and our why that motivates us, we are better equipped to recognize the dreams and “why” in others.
Finding that “why” and that passionate dream in others will make you a better upline and a much better sponsor. It’s this focus on others, through being an accomplished listener and questioner, seeking out what is truly important for the other person that will increase your success and the success of the people you interact with.
Falling in love with your dream is one of the places where this all starts. My passion is my relationship with God. My dream is to know Him better each and every day and to seek His direction in my life. This passion has made me a better husband, father, friend, and business person. I have been so blessed as a result of this relationship and it has lead to a daily prayer that I pray every morning. “God, please put crossed my path today, someone who is praying to you and has a need that I can be a part of fulfilling, through something that you have given me, and have blessed me with, to share with others.” This is my dream that I have fallen in love with. This is one of the main reasons that TheNetworkMarketingMagazine.com came about, and I believe God continues to bless it.
What is your dream that you want to fall in love with?
It is one of the most important things that you could take the time to discover for yourself.
Aim high!
