When you have a written business dream or plan, you’ll step into your future. The last powerful tip asked you to write down ways that your want your business to help you financially, spiritually and emotionally. Well, sometimes you can’t have them all at once, but if you are clear about what you want, you will step into your business dream.

For me, its Saturday night and I’m at the airport writing this post before I catch a red eye from San Francisco to Washington DC . Ok, I’m losing a bit a sleep so my job isn’t helping me emotionally at this very moment. But I was thinking as I was driving to the airport about the blessings of this job. I’m so pleased to be able to work with my clients, I’m so excited that I’m able to teach and share with them. Again, I’m losing a bit of sleep but my job is a dream job. 
 
How

Here are 5 steps that help you in developing your dream of the future that God has for you.

1. Focus on What, not How: This seems a bit odd. But it is true. You need to dream. You need to stop listening to others who have seen you fail. You need to stop the negative chatter in your head. God wants you to fulfill that which he called you to do. You just need to praise his that he is choosing to use you, as you are, to accomplish his will and purpose. The HOW is up to him. I just thank God and praise him that he is working all things out for my good. We don’t need to remind God of all the things that we think we need as our next step. You need to pray that your eyes are opened to see the next step and that you have courage to step into it.

2. You need BHAG’s: These are defined as Big, Hairy, Audacious Goals. This is a catalyst. Why just hope for things you can accomplish in your own strength. Let’s hope for influence. Let’s pray for impact. Let’s perceive the miracles that God wants you to do through your businesses.

3. Brainstorm your key values or interests: List how you will act in your ideal business e.g. customer service, integrity, innovative, flexible or not flexible e.g. if focused on safety or compliance. This captures your core beliefs. I was talking today at lunch with a women. She got so focused on how of a new business opportunity. Her webmaster created the marketing for the new business. It took this business woman two years to realize that her core interest of speaking wasn’t present on the website. Don’t get so focused on the new business and what others believe it should be and lose what you value the most about yourself.

4. Create a Vision/Picture board. You think in pictures, not words. Many business people create a collage of things they want their business to be and more importantly who they want to be.

5. Rehearse/Vivid dreaming: Wake up in the morning thinking of what God has for you because of the interests, skills, and talents God has placed in you. Think of what you want to be. Think of where you will be. Is this with your grandchildren because your business has provided you the financial resources? Is this next to a golf community since your business is profitable? Wake up and think about what you want as your dreams. It isn’t selfish. It will clarify what you want your future to be.

Invite God into your thoughts, dreams and let me know how he answers you. I would love to hear from you.

Do you have a business dream, but aren’t sure how to put it into action?  Take some time to identify your business dream and write it down on paper will make it “pop” for you as you recognize “Yes—that is what I want to do with my life.” Many of us have God dreams. Many of us can see what we can do with our skills, talents and personalities. But is your dream clear? To You? To Others?
