We could continue to dream and say 'If only...',



knowing that we will never see our dream come true.

In this case our dream becomes a SUBSTITUTE for action.

Or we can act on our dream and try to make it happen.

In this case our dream becomes a MODEL for our action.

I think we all have a dream. Be a millionaire, own a

nice home in the country, own a Rolls Royce, whatever...

That dream will only remain a dream for as long as

we let it. In most cases this is forever.

Many people think that a dream is just a pleasant fantasy.

Well, it can be. But the most important aspect of a dream

is that it is a signal for action. The most incredible

succ*ess stories all began with a dream. A dream is a goal

for us to achieve a purpose in life - a destination.

That last point is very important. A goal is essential if

you are to achieve great wealth. And it is important that

you focus on a specific goal in your dream. It is no good

saying that you want to be rich. This is not specific

enough. That would be like going to a bank and asking for

plenty of money!

To set an effective goal it must be a specific one. Your

ultimate goal will be reached via many smaller, short-term

'goals'. Remember, a goal is a destination, and you can't

get there if you don't know where you're going.

The Power Of Desire

Once you know what you want, you must then imagine what

life would be like when you have it. If you want to be a

millionaire, think of how you would spend your free time,

and the luxuries you would enjoy. This brings into play

the power of desire. This is an enormously strong emotion.

When we desire, we tend to make more positive attempts

to obtain the object of our craving.

Buy a small note book and write about a typical day

(or day off!) when you are we*althy. Imagine what you

would be able to do with the increased spending power.

Write down everything that you would like to do, given

the chance. Be as explicit as you like, and write it as

vividly as you can.

When you have finished, read it back to yourself. What

does it do to you? Can you feel yourself aching to be

able to live life that way? Does it make you really

jealous of those who are enjoying that sort of life?

If it does, then well done. You have just created

desire. If you have done it well enough, you should

want that life so much that it hurts!

Read this note book every day. Add more to it if you

think of something else you would like to do. Your

book will motivate you through desire. It will remind

you of the reward waiting for you - and it will inspire

you to succeed.

So now go back over your dream of the future. You are

now going to focus on the things you desire. You no

longer want a Luxury car - you want a Rolls Royce.

It isn't A house it's THE house. The one on Accacia

avenue that you pass every day on your way to work.

You must now start to focus on your 'goals'.

Observing The Reality

The next stage of action is to observe the reality.

If there IS a house you would like, then visit it

often. By this I don't mean you should stand under an

adjacent street-lamp and leer ghoulishly at it until

the cops arrive! You need only walk past it. Plan what

changes you will make to it when it is yours, mentally

re-arrange the garden and picture how you will change it

to suit you.

If you know which sort of car you would buy, look at a

model in a showroom. Find out about it. Get the specifics.

Find out how much it costs, what extras are available, and

other relevant details. Remember, you are converting your

dream into hard facts. You are creating a specific

destination. By doing this, you will be taking a positive

step toward achieving your dream. Whereas before you

were a thinker, now you are a doer. Positive action is

characteristic of a successful entrepreneur.

Look To The Future

An important aspect of of visualizing your dream is the

ability to look to the future. In doing this you are

applying the same technique as millions of other

successful people. You must see your life as it will be

when your dream comes to fruition. You are preparing yourself

for your own success.

Many of the people who buy books on starting a business

actually don't bother starting up. They can't imagine

themselves ever running their own business and earning

Unlimited amounts of money. They never see things how

they can be - only how they are. Don't make this mistake.

KNOW what you want, KNOW how to get it, SEE how it WILL

be, and then go for it!

Yours in success,

Kevin Quigley
