Act! 8 commandments for those who want to make a dream come true

First, dream, then - get down to business. Writers Richard Newton and Cyprian Rassin in the book "From words to deeds" share steps that can lead you to success, if you have conceived to realize your cherished dream. Here are seven tips from them:

1. Find the time

Lack of free time is the mosta common reason why we postpone the implementation of something important year after year. Be realistic: you have the same amount of time as the others, and all this time you have already distributed between a bunch of different cases. Redistribute time, give up some actions, and the released time will devote to work on your dream.

You do not need to wait for your share to fall three free months. Use any free time to work on a dream.

2. Draw a dream

Visualize the dream by drawing a map of actions. Include in it all your ideas, the steps to be taken, the resources you need, and the possible risks.

How to understand that the card works? There are two criteria:

now you are able to explain to the close person the essence of your dreams, why you dream about it and what exactly you are going to do;

now you yourself understand what needs to be done and what will be the first step.

3. Take the first step

If you have a dream and a plan for its implementation, but you have not yet begun to act, find the cause of inaction. Here are a few guiding questions:

Are you really fascinated by this dream?

Did you do everything possible to find the time for action (see point 1)?

Does not prevent you from self-criticism or fear of failure?

4. After the first step, do the second, and then the third step

Move! A legendary "first step", many are limited. Be different. Take the working pace. Analyze whether your actions give the desired result. Check with the card, again and again asking yourself: what is my next step?

5. Refuse what does not work

Wrong tactics, useless cooperation,wrong methods. It is important to be able to give up what does not help you. Failures and mistakes are normal. In the course of the work, you will learn what you did not know when you designed your dream. This means that you have to edit the plan of action, abandon some steps and look for new solutions.

6. Going astray, return to it again and again.

Sometimes we go off the road for various reasons: financial difficulties, fatigue, accumulated personal affairs ... Going astray, ask yourself these questions:

How much did you deviate from the initial route?

Will you fulfill the dream if you continue in the same spirit?

What is it worth changing in your actions to return to the way of fulfilling the dream?

Answers to these questions will help you quickly return to work.

7. Help yourself keep concentration

To achieve something worthwhile, it is necessary to work hard, ignoring a hundred different diversions. Simplify your life:

plan to work on a dream at a time when, most likely, you will not be distracted, for example, early in the morning or in the afternoon, when there is less fuss around;

find a place where you, most likely, will not be distracted - it does not matter in the library, the office or the garage;

Keep away from distractions: turn off the phone, block social networks and applications that you do not need to work.

8. Stop on time!

Do you have criteria by which you will understand thatis the dream come true and it's time to move on to a new goal? If not, there is a high probability that you will stop too early or you will polish your dream too long. To avoid this, ask yourself the following questions:

Have I done everything to make the dream come true? if not, what actions are still needed?

Do I add more and more steps to the action card all the time? if I add, then why am I doing this?

When the dream is reached, make another importantthing. Settle with debts - both literally and figuratively. On the way to achieve a dream, people helped you. Have you stayed with them? Hearty thanks, a response offer of help, a small gift for memory - all this can make you and your assistants happy. Pay with debts, and then embark on the embodiment of a new dream.
