E27 just picked up my article for Young Entrepreneur Council (YEC) on how to make your business dreams a reality. It’s the perfect Christmas read, especially as you start penning your resolutions for 2016. There are many strategies to make your dreams come to fruition, and one of my best tips is re-structuring your daily grind. Stop thinking of your goals as a dream. Instead, take actionable steps to bring them to life. Maybe it’s getting up two hours earlier, starting your morning in a healthier manner, or committing to writing a certain number of words per day.
Make sure you’re in a “growth mindset,” too. Intelligence and skills are not fixed within you, but sadly many people believe that they are. You can grow your intelligence, your skills, and your talents. Believing this, and taking action to make it happen, is something that sets successful business owners apart.
When you daydream (a healthy pastime!), make sure you think about future success and pinpoint all the details you can. This will immensely help you get there (plus, it’s a great way to relax).
