Episode Synopsis

People talk about all the things they are going to do. They want to make a million dollars. At the end of the week, nothing has happened.
Too many people have all these hopes and dreams, but they don't act on it.
I'd like to encourage you to do this: Dream Big, Start Small! Start by doing one thing. When that gets done, start another task. Before you know it, bigger things will start happening. Keep working on your belief level, but get going now.
Start where you are ... right now. Call somebody. Set up a meeting. Do something.
Do one thing. Don't minimize the one thing. That's what holds people back. When you get the one thing done, start another thing. Do it until it becomes a habit.
Watch your words. Speak the truth. Avoid drama. Don't be negative. Be mindful of everything you say. Think before you speak. It will make a huge difference in your life. Be simple. Be clear.
Start making small changes. You don't have to explain everything. Don't cut out everything, but let's reduce some things we know we need to improve upon. Put things off until later. That's a great strategy to help you improve. If it can wait, then put it off until later if it is not important.
Successful people don't do the little things for only a month. They keep doing it over and over. They are the people that start small with big dreams and keep going long after other people give up.
If you are on this podcast then you are a lucky person. You have likely had some close calls in life. Things have happened in your life that could have turned out far worse. You bounced back and you are still trying to do the best you can.
I need you to believe in yourself. Look at yourself: you are still in one piece and you are still alive. If you don't believe in yourself then why would anybody else?
Take a personal inventory of the things you are thankful for. You will find out that you have plenty to be thankful for if you write it all down and think about it.
It is OK to have big dreams, but start doing little actions that will help you move faster toward those goals and dreams. It all adds up over time.
Is your mission believable? Do people see where you are headed and encourage you? Make sure your belief level is lining up with your actions.
Is it worth it to you to make sacrifices to get the very thing you believe you want? I believe the answer is yes if you are willing to do things that other people are not.
