The #1 Reason Your Big Business Dreams Don’t Make It Off The Ground

July 17, 2018

Let me ask you something, sweet friend? Do you find yourself dreaming these big business dreams but have no idea where to even begin? Maybe you envision what life could look and feel like when you chase after your goals and bring them to life? But for whatever reason, your dreams aren’t making it off the ground.

Maybe it’s fear, time or lack of confidence. All you know is that your big-business-dream-brain dump list continues to grow. But none of those dreams ever seem to make it off the “idea” list to actual implementation.

In my experience as an educator in this industry, I’ve found there is one core problem to blame when it comes to keeping you from achieving your goals.

The #1 Reason Your Big Business Dreams Don’t Make It Off The Ground Is….

You are too overwhelmed by the big picture that you don’t actually create a small actionable place to begin.

And because you are so focused on the big picture and you don’t hone in on a place to start, you don’t actually ever begin. You don’t take action.

I firmly believe this causes you to unintentionally keep wedging yourself into this hole where all you can see is the big picture dreams. You see the glory, joy and satisfaction that comes when achieving that goal. But you can’t see the small tiny steps needed to actually begin.

Although I’m such an advocate of envisioning the big picture goal and really manifesting your dreams, I’ve found that so many of us don’t really know how to look at a big picture goal and immediately understand the ten actionable steps we need to take to achieve that dream.

We see the big picture and want it, but we aren’t quite sure of the where to begin.

What Are Your Actionable Steps?

Sweet friend, you aren’t sure where to start in this big beautiful dream because you haven’t broken it down into smaller steps.

But there’s good news! The way to kick that mess to the curb and take action begins by something really simple.

Just start.

If whatever is standing in your way is the fact you don’t know where to begin I’m also willing to bet you probably are so fixated on choosing the “right” place to start. This feeling of perfection isn’t helping you take action. And here is the thing–

There is no right or wrong way to chase after a goal or bring an idea to reality.

All you have to do is hone in one place to begin. One simple step. Take action and just make it happen.

For example, let’s say your big business dream is to launch a website. The first place you could start is reaching out to another creative in a Facebook Group you are apart of. Ask for more details about the design process or designers they would refer. Or you could hop on Google and search for a web designer who can make it happen for you. Maybe it’s even as simple as doing a little research and figuring out what website platform you want to be on.

Whatever the scenario or dream, I’ve found if you hone in on one small step to take, it’s easier to actually take action. And now you are moving one step closer to that dream. The notion of simply moving forward will continue to propel you towards that big business dream goal.

Action Creates Clarity

When you choose to move forward and take action you will start to see the positive benefit too. You will become encouraged, re-energized and feel this sense of clarity you were missing when you only saw the big picture. You now can clearly see that whatever you are chasing after isn’t so impossible after all.

It’s simply putting one foot in front of the other on that path towards your goal. Each step forward will bring more clarity and confidence all while helping you realize the most important thing. No dream is too big.

There is no goal too audacious or too big that you can’t achieve.

It simple comes down to this: are you willing to take that tiny step forward? Are you willing to put that first foot in front of the other and slowly but surely take action?

Decide You Are Brave Enough To Take Action

Over the years I’ve worked 1-on-1 with my mentoring clients, I’ve found that some of the biggest most beautiful goals we’ve chased during our work together simply started when my client was brave and driven enough to take that first step of asking for my help.

I always see confidence wash over my mentoring clients after they take that first shaky step of inviting me in. We immediately celebrate, embrace their new confidence and create a plan for how to move forward with even more tiny actionable steps that will propel their business forward.

And guess what? I know the same can absolutely be true for you too! If you can just take that first step towards your goal. Whether it’s launching your podcast, starting that new business or bringing on a new hire. Whatever you dream, if you can just take that first step I promise the path ahead will become more clear!

I would love to partner alongside you to help identify what clarity for your big business dreams could look like for you. If you are an entrepreneur who has big audacious dreams that just aren’t quite getting off the ground I’d love to chat so we can find that sweet place you can start to take action.
