Let Your Dreams Work

I'm extending my retirement beginning January 1, 2024.

I'm eliminating all personal and group coaching, all of my online courses and communities, and most of my web sites.

This episode explains what will disappear and what will continue. To summarize, I'm giving away almost all of thoughts, models, and prompts for free.

The end of the year provides a great opportunity to evaluate the dreams you achieved and didn't achieve during the year. Hopefully, you created records of your dreams either in a to-do list, a journal, social media, or other methods.

First take the time to recognize and celebrate your accomplishments to BE More, SEE More, DO More, HAVE More, and GIVE More. Rejoice not only at the total successes, but at the improvement you made in trying to let those dreams work. Focus first on the positive.

Second, look at the challenges you encountered in your dreams. Don't focus on the failures. Focus on what you learned about that dream. Highlight the good that cam from your attempt. Decide which dreams you will not pursue and set them aside. Learn from the mistakes you made and optimize your connections and act consistently to try to avoid making them again. Do not allow examining what you learned to drag you into feelings of failure.

A long-standing disagreement occurs near the end of each year about when to start celebrating which holiday: Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukah, Diwali, and New Years. This episode proposes that the answer to the questions requires an examination of what you celebrate. If buying things and flashy decorations provide the essence and focus of your holiday, then perhaps delaying that materialistic approach provides more peace and serenity.

If, however, the essence of your celebration acknowledges the gift of God in the form of His only begotten son (Christmas), the miracle of light to rededicate the temple and our lives to God (Hanukah), or the victory of light over darkness (Diwali); then it's never too early to remember and celebrate those. In fact, when viewed in this light, we see that Thanksgiving is not a separate spirit, but the perfect way to prepare for these celebrations.

This Thanksgiving episode highlights the legitimate need for housing for a growing population of the United States and the world. I recognize historically there were people who chafed at settling down, such as mountain men and hobos. I also recognize that many remain homeless due to mental illness.

But many families find themselves priced out of the housing market. They may be working 3 part-time jobs because they can't get a full-time job. For several reasons people become homeless through little fault of their own.

All people can do something to help in your home town, country, or internationally. Organizations like Habitat for Humanity, Community Action Programs, or Choice Humanitarian will accept your donations whether they be financial, labor, skill, or just showing up. This episode shares stories of people who GAVE More in a variety of ways to bless a variety of people.

I advocate that unemployed people seeking a new job Make Their 10s. That means they contact 10 people a day and schedule 10 meetings a week. The "job seeker identity" many have will make them gasp at that concept. These people can't imagine finding 10 advertised jobs a day. People thinking like a professional recognize that they typically talk to 10 people on the job.

Many struggle with identifying 50 people, which inhibits them from contacting 50 people. This episode outlines a four step process to identify 50 people and schedule the contacts in just two hours (preferably Monday morning).

The things we love to do, do well, and do repeatedly become themes. Each of us possess 3-5 themes in our lives. No one possesses all the themes, though many frequently wish they did. In addition, we typically apply each theme in several different circumstances of applications. For example, creative people tend to be creative in multiple ways: vocal music, instrumental music, and drama. Typical themes include:

Activist
Academic
Athletic
Creative Talent
Ethnic or cultural
Entrepreneurship
Leadership
Service
Survivor

Your themes help you both find scholarships and prove to sponsors and committees that you deserve their money. As a result, identifying your 3-5 themes and their subsets becomes important to you.

They recognize that the perfect applicant does not exist, but use the description to compare all the applicants to their ideal. Then, they choose the applicant that most closely matches their ideal.

This episode discusses the biggest limitation to obtaining free money for college through scholarships--We don't believe we deserve the money. This natural sentiment derives from years of programming to be humble, not stuck-up, or conceited. It derives from feelings of inadequacy.

Learn the top achievements scholarship committees seek to reward. Assess how many of those traits you honestly possess, then prepare the statement to prove to yourself and then the committees you deserve their money.

This episode begins our third season of this podcast. We're implementing a few changes for this season:

New cover art for the podcast and each episode
New opening and closing music from Jacques Brel
Excluding the episode number from the title of the episode
Using a new episode numbering system of season first digit and episode number in that season as the second and third digit

I also describe how Heidi prepared for and achieved her dream of a Disney Cruise to celebrate her 40th birthday. I share my perceptions of the ship, the food, the entertainment, the private island, and the magic of a Disney Cruise; while also expressing my concern that while the price may be double, the experience might not be double.

This continues our series of tips to let your dreams work.

Every one of us will make mistakes as we pursue our dreams. We should not let mistakes derail or discourage us. However, we should strive to make our mistakes where they don't count.

Sadly, too many people attempt to achieve their big dreams before they worked out the mistakes and kinks that follow all new ventures. This episode describes several situations in which people make mistakes with crucial connections--and provides strategies to make your mistakes where they don't count.

This episode is one of several that provide tips to let your dreams work.

Many fail to achieve their dreams because of misperceived competition with the entity that may have power to let the dream come true. When, in reality the only possible competition may come from others trying to achieve the same dream.

I share examples of this limitation--and how to overcome it-- with dreams to:

BE happy in your dream job
HAVE free money for college through scholarships
HAVE a new car or vehicle

These examples, however, illustrate this tip for a wide variety of dreams.

I met James last night at a presentation I gave. He is 12 years old and dreams of becoming an engineer. I shared with him the story of Rick, who I met 30 years ago. Rick age 14 then, also wanted to become an engineer. He would be the first in his family to attend college in 3 generations. This episode highlights Rick's path from a 14-year old boy dreaming the impossible dream to become an engineer to becoming a vice president in engineering for one of the most recognize names in the world of manufacturing.

I hope this episode inspires the youth--and those who work with youth--to prepare to let their professional dreams work.

All of us experience chaos in our lives--times when we feel totally out of control. Sometimes those experiences last a few days. Other times they last a few years. Maslow explained in his hierarchy of needs that considering higher level matters when our more basic needs are not being met is almost impossible.

I hope this episode allows those going through chaos to gain hope. I share my own recent two months of chaos and how it affected my thinking, my dreams, and my performance.

This episode shares thought I pondered as we visited Boston Square, the graves of John Hancock and Samuel Adams, and the site of the Boston Massacre. Rather than telling the story of our trip, I offer insights into the bravery and trials of the men and women who wrestled for liberty and freedom from what they perceived as oppression.

They discovered ways to bring differing perspectives, cultures, and visions together--not perfectly. Their treatment of indigenous peoples and people kidnapped into slavery exemplify huge travesties to the freedoms they proclaimed. Nevertheless, they transformed themselves into a new nation, a new way of thinking, and a new method of government by incorporating the strengths of their various perspectives into a new nation.

Hundreds of thousands of high school and college graduates will hear inspiring speeches about their future, the impact they can make on the world, and the success they may achieve. Sadly, too many of those dreams upon graduation will become nightmares for many--if not most--of those graduates.

This episode highlights several of the roots of those nightmares and how to avoid them. I hope it helps high school graduates select the proper training or education steps that will bring them the satisfaction and income they desire. It will provide tips for college graduates to do during their studies, six months before graduation, and after graduation to move their career forward.

Letting your dreams work WILL involve discouragement. Life brings discouragement, trial, and challenges. Typically, we withdraw when discouraged either as self-defense, embarrassment, or other factors. Isolation compounds the hurt and the discouragement.

Optimizing connections when discouraged may bring healing, comfort, and new perspectives. Your connections may provide

A sounding board to allow you to vent, describe, and analyze discouragement
Ideas, new perspectives, and additional light into your darkness
Information to help understand or heal from the discouragement
Comradery to alleviate the isolation
Support and comfort until the discouragement passes

I hope this episode inspires you to reach out to your trusted connections, accountability partners, or mastermind group when you get discouraged.

My daughter planned a trip to New York City to surprise her sister for her 40th birthday. We arrived at our hotel in NYC at 1 am Saturday morning and flew home Monday at 11. We saw a tremendous amount of New York in the two days in between.

I share some of the tips and tools my daughter used to fill so many sites into those two days: BigBus hop on/hop off tours, Circle Line sunset cruise up the Hudson and East Rivers, attending Harry Potter and Cursed Child, and all these other sites.

I hope it inspires you to SEE New York or some other place you dream to SEE.

Watching the Disneyland 100th anniversary fireworks show reminded me how much Walt Disney encouraged us to dream. This episode highlights some of the themes that persisted throughout 100 years of animated feature films.

The lyrics of his films, beginning with Snow White's "I'm Wishing" to Moana's desire follow the wind at her back to see how large the ocean is emphasize our ability to accomplish amazing things if we will dream (which "is the wish our heart makes). The show also reminded me how every character has to overcome limitations, doubt, and despair. They also had to connect with others to achieve their dreams.

I hope this episode inspires you to listen to the songs and lift your spirit.

I've discussed the power that comes from adopting the "How Can I Help?" attitude in previous podcasts. I highlighted multiple times how the "How Can I Help?" attitude will transform a job search from an unpleasant task into meaningful momentum. I shared how the attitude will help optimize connections.

This podcast expands on how the "How Can I Help?" attitude is taught by Bryan Waldon Pope as part of his VEVA approach, by the National Speakers Association for professional speakers to land speaking engagements, and by successful fund-raisers to "be invited" by donors to allow them to give them money.

I hope that you will listen and tap into the power of "How Can I Help?" to let your dreams work and GIVE More to help others achieve their dreams.

Recently, I addressed an amazing group of women the majority of whom were in their late 60s to early 90s. They reinforced in my mind that while age may modify our dreams, it does not need to kill them. Too many people feel incapable of dreaming in the later years. While real limitations due to age, health, mobility, and other factors require us to modify our dreams we can lable and deal with them.

This episode explores how different people, especially my mother, adapted their dreams as the got older, but still accomplished so much and enjoyed their lives for the richness they add through their dreams.

"I Can't Dream" remains the most common and pervasive limitation people face as they start to let their dreams work. This undesired limitation challenges us because it straddles the gap between a real limitation (which responds to plans) and a windmill (false limitation appearing real, that doesn't respond to plans).

As with most windmills the seeds of this pernicious limitation plant in our past and bear fruit in our present and future. This podcast

Highlights the most common reasons people feel they cannot dream
Labels them as either a real limitation or a windmill (and why they are)
Outlines different methods or techniques for overcoming or dealing with them.

This episode addresses how to prove you are the solution organizations and companies need to achieve their dreams and resolve the challenges inhibiting their progress. You will use these statements in cover letters, applications, resumes, interviews, reframing their thinking about your weaknesses, and reconnecting after interviews.

The episode will outline several steps to creating and refining these statements:

How to use a baseball field to structure your statements: 1st base=where you achieved it, 2nd base=what you did, 3rd base=results achieved, home plate=a question applying that example to their company
List goals you wish to help companies achieve, problems to resolve, or skills you love using (10-12 total)
Identify specific examples of how you already achieved that for your current or last employer, all previous employers, or civic/personal/educational settings (3 total for each item listed in step 1
Refine your statements 5 times
1. Exchange implied numbers for real numbers
2. Translate jargon into terms that cannot be misunderstood
3. Ensure use active voice, tense, and person
4. Upgrade the vocabulary
5. Ask a good grammarian to edit it for you

These factual, not general, statements add sparkle to your approach and prove you are the solution the company needs.

Without some limitations your dreams can spiral out of control, impossible to achieve because they are too broad. You, therefore, label some desired limitations to assure success and provide boundaries for your vision. Project management refers to these desired limitations as the "scope of the project."

This episode defines some scope limitations for specific dreams shared by members of our 12,000 Dreams community. They illustrate for all those who dream with us how to label desired limitations for any kind of dream. We will discuss specifically defining the scope for those who dream of creating a charitable, non-government organization; and those who dream of a new job--their dream job. Once again, the process shared in this episode may apply to all you who wish to let your dreams work.

This episode explores how you combine optimizing connections with acting consistently and labeling limitations (both desired and undesired real). The priorities listed in this episode help you begin moving toward your dream almost as soon as you set it.

Generating your possible dream should naturally lead to a number of questions that need answers in order to achieve your dream. The priorities discussed in this episode include taking the following actions:

List Your Questions: Make a list of questions about your dream and add to it.
Online Research: Find answers to your questions through YouTube videos, blogs, professional associations, user groups, and other online connections. This step will also help you identify the desired limitations (scope) of your dream plus the undesired real limitations with plans to overcome them.
Talk to People: Your online research will identify people who achieved your dream, possess expertise you lack, work in the area you need to learn. Ask them questions.
Act on the Ideas Connection Give You: Begin doing some of the things you learned from your connections. Then, thank them and say "I appreciate the help you gave me, how can I help you?"
Make a Soft Commitment: Put a downpayment on some training, a purchase, a trip, or other resources.
Make a Hard Commitment: After acting on the course, trip, or others complete the purchase and pay the rest of the fee.
Act Until You Achieve Your Dream: Keep acting consistently, synergizing with others until you complete your dream.

In an earlier podcast (episode 64) Bryan Waldon Pope and Larry Stevenson announced their dream to guide 12,000 people to achieve their impossible dream--that dream that, from where they stand today, seems unattainable.

In that podcast we invited people to have a conversation with us to outline their dreams, but more importantly to help us discover the best possible support they wanted to help their dreams come true. Our audience response thrilled us both with the many dreams people wanted to achieve, but also for their input on what would help them succeed. This episode shares the results of our conversations and just a few ideas people gave us on what they wanted from this collaborative effort.

Once again Barbara Sher highlights a common windmill (false limitation appearing real). Every person eventually encounters a situation where, through no or little fault of their own, the world seems to collapse around them. They have their dream job and the company gets sold to someone else who chooses not to keep the old staff. Your happily ever after marriage crashes on a spouse's abuse or addictions. These things happen in our lives. They devastate us, leaving us broken, bereft, and many times bitter with no prospect for hope in sight.

This episode shares several methods for handling this common windmill from both Ms. Sher's experiences, but also Larry Stevenson's. Learn some techniques for handling those feelings of despair and devastation. Learn a technique for handling the sincere, but disastrous attempt to raise our spirits by saying "Oh, just cheer up. Things will get better."

Synergize Purposefully, the 5th step in our life-changing framework, may contribute the most to actual success with your dreams. The synergy that flows from 2 or more people working together, supporting one another, and collaborating with ideas and suggestions almost assures that your dreams work.

While I still believe that mastermind groups provide the greatest support and brainstorming, I recognize that creating your own mastermind group may seem intimidating. Therefore, I recommend finding an accountability partner as a first step. This episode describes how to find an accountability partner, support each other with weekly (or daily) texts/communication, and synergize in a monthly meeting.

The December 7th attack on Pearl Harbor Naval base delt a devastating blow to the United States of America. The majority of our Pacific fleet lay in shambles. Americans, especially in California, lived with the vulnerable realization the war could come to them any day. The tide of war in the Pacific and Europe seemed destined to destroy democracy and liberty.

Yet, we rebounded. The actions and determination of people in the armed services, creating the industrial output for war, and the sacrifice of those still at home in rationing and war drives turned the failure of that devastating attack into meaningful momentum that won the war.

This episode highlights how acting consistently can turn failure in to success, despair into hope, and assure that your dreams come true.

Adopting the "How can I help?" attitude transforms distasteful tasks into meaningful momentum. Generally, we feel better about helping others than we do about being helped ourselves. I've taught people seeking employment this secret for decades. Recent personal experiences highlighted that the same attitude may optimize our connections even more.

Many people find themselves moving quickly on the job, in relationships, purchases, or other dreams only to realize that they are moving quickly--on the wrong track. The further they move the more confused, unhappy, or angry they become. These feelings limit their dream. The limitation may be real, but it may also be a windmill (false limitation appearing real).

The late Barabra Sher addressed the limitation in her wonderful book I Could Do Anything If I Only Knew What It Was. Ms Sher highlighted the problems associated with this limitation and offered some ideas for resolving them:

Identify what you really want by reading autobiographies and writing your own if you pursued a more satisfying track.
Express your feelings and manage them with a few techniques
Begin saving, by reducing your compensation spending, to fund your future change
Determine what you really will need for your more rewarding path

This episode explores this windmill and the logical and illogical solutions to deal with it.

Many people experienced doubt, frustration, and failure in secondary school. As a result, they did not continue gaining additional education after high school. Too many find themselves stuck in jobs they wish to leave, but they can't because they lack the education needed.

This episode is for you if you feel that way. BYU Pathway Worldwide (https://byupathyway.org) and similar organizations offer a pathway to higher education that resolves those fears, doubts, and limitations. Pathway began in 2009 at BYU Idaho as a program to help students--worldwide--explore and learn how to succeed in higher education whether it be through certificates or degrees. It became its own organization in 2017. It currently provides 57,450+ students in 188 countries with online education enhanced by weekly local in-person gatherings.

Frequently people say they really want one thing, when in reality the dream they really love seems impossible--so they reject or sublimate it. The dream they put forth instead of the one they really want is a Red Herring. Many stumble, struggle, or fail to achieve the red herring because it is a windmill for what they really love.

The late author, Barbara Sher, discussed Red Herrings in her book I Could Do Anything If I Only Knew What it Was. She identified 2 facts that create the failur associated with red herrings. This episode explores those facts and several options for dealing with the red herring so that you may pursue the real dream.

We begin season 2 with minor changes to our opening and closing sound, new artwork each episode rather than the same artwork for the whole season. We also hope to invite more guests with expertise in specific dreams to provide action ideas, connections, and synergy for our listeners.

In this episode we explore how sometimes our dreams may need to be tempered, but should not be rejected outright. We follow Walt Disney's vision for Disney World and how it differed from what was eventually built. You can see his vision on YouTube at this link https://youtu.be/sLCHg9mUBag. Walt intended Disney World as a gift to the world. He hoped to partner with industry and others to create his Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow (EPCOT's original name). He envisioned people from all over the world coming to Disney World to see state-of-the-art community development integrating commercial, housing, industry, and ecologically beneficial elements.

While Walt's vision wasn't built, it can inspire us today to evaluate our dreams and contributions to society--and act to let them work. I believe he provides a great framework for season 2. I hope you agree.

Every person alive experiences grief over the loss of someone or something that is significant in our lives. We grieve the death of a loved one or friend. We grieve the loss of a relationship through divorce or other separation. We even grieve over the loss of a job and the acquaintances we formed on that job.

This episode exams Elizabeth Kubler-Ross' pioneering research on the stages of grief, plus additional understanding about grief discovered since her work. While she correctly identified the main stages we experience as we grieve, we seldom process through them in nice sequentially packaged stages. Instead, the grief process has been described as a rollercoaster, waves, or the tornado of grief. Whatever model you use, there are ways to get through the process. We share some personal experiences to highlight how to BE More comforted in grief.

Many people doubt their ability to accomplish anything, let alone their dreams. This episode outlines a tool to help you--and others--recognize what you have done. So that you and they may see what you can do. These statements of fact bring greater confidence than galloping generalities.

The episode explores the following concept and skills:

Why most people feel uncomfortable saying nice things about themselves
That discomfort erodes our confidence to let our dreams work
Use home run statements in scholarship, college, and employment applications and interviews
Structure your statements to mirror a baseball diamond: 1st base=where you did something, 2nd base=what you did, 3rd base=the results of your action, and home plate=applying the statement to them
Identify the themes and skills in your life to recognize your accomplishments

The episode also describes 6 steps to creating your home run statement statements:

Jot down a brief identifier of the SPECIFIC example of the theme or skill
Turn the idea into a rough, ugly, unedited sentence
Exchange implied numbers for real numbers within the statement
Translate jargon (terms understood by a certain group) into terms that cannot be misunderstood
Ensure the sentence uses the active, rather than passive, voice
Upgrade the vocabulary

Reading your statements to yourself out loud increases your confidence that you can let your dreams work. Saying them to others proves you are the solution they need.

David McCullough passed away at age 89 on August 8, 2022, of natural causes. Mr. McCullough won two Pulitzer Prizes, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, a National Book Award winner. He authored biographies, histories, and philosophies about great dreamers, great accomplishments, and common ordinary people who changed the world. He made history live with powerful easy-to-read narratives and stories.

This episode pays tribute to a person who understood dreams and shared their possibility with stories of the past. Anyone who read one of Mr. McCullough's books understands his ability to describe great vistas and accomplishments by focusing on the efforts of people to improve society. If you have not read one of his many books, I would encourage you to do so.

I will personally miss the anticipation of a new book by David McCullough, the inspiration of learning of great dreams, and the insights of this historian, biographer, and philosopher. Thank you, Mr. McCullough, for inspiring us to BE Better, to SEE More, to DO Better, and to GIVE More of ourselves.

We celebrate the 4th of July with food, fireworks, family, and friends. Generally, we enjoy some of the greatest opportunities, liberties, and responsibilities on the planet. Yet, those are not shared equally.

Patriotism does not belong to one party or political thought. Patriotism involves being willing to defend our country to put ourselves at risk for the greater good. I believe that true patriotism includes both recognizing the progress we have made towards a "more perfect union" and recognizing the challenges we still need to overcome to achieve that "more perfect union."

This episode explores methods to realize and appreciate how far we have come, and also how to optimize connections to be informed and act continuously to improve our country. The episode reminds us to label our limitations and to not rejoice in the limitations of others while neglecting our own. Finally, the episode encourage us to synergize purposefully with others in our community who think both as we do, but also with others who possess a differing viewpoint to make improvement.

Have you ever found yourself excited about your dreams, but as you progress towards them you find yourself losing the motivation to continue? Most people have, so you are not alone.

Real motivation limitations occur because of many factors in our life. We may be in a tough spot in our marriage or relationship. Our business may not fulfill us because we lost what we really wanted to do in the details of running the business. Physical and mental ailments affect motivation seriously. Real motivation limitations respond to a plan: seeking counseling for your marriage, finding a new job, receiving treatment for the illness.

The motivation windmill, however, arises from past experiences, doubts, and what others have repeatedly told us. It will not respond to actual plans. It responds to illogical thought and action.

This episode explores both real and false motivation limitations. I share ideas, suggestions, and resources for addressing for both. I hope it helps you let your dreams work.

This episode recognizes Father's Day as a good day to reexamine your dreams of being a father, grandfather, uncle, or male nurturer (whether you have children or not). These roles challenge those who identify as men, more than almost anything else in life. We recognize the stakes are higher when considering our legacy and impact on the next generation.

We review methods to generate the possibilities to

BE more kind, patient, tolerant, confident, and more;
See more growth, confidence, self-esteem, and happiness in the children we nurture;
DO more with them in monthly interviews, family time, activities, support, and fun;
HAVE more time, confidence, and support in nurturing them
GIVE more time, skills, wisdom, and prepare them to survive and thrive

We also share ideas of how to

optimize connections to let your dreams of fatherhood work
act consistently in little and major ways to see your dreams fulfilled
label the limitations that may paralyze your efforts with children
Synergize with others through regular conversations, support, and engagement

Special Note: This episode was scheduled for June 1, 2022. I was having such a sensational summer that I didn't actually record it until June 20th. I dropped in on the scheduled date to maintain the editorial calendar. Sorry it was so late, but I was having so much fun on other things.June 1 traditionally marked the first of summer vacation for me (I recognize that for many Memorial Day kicked off the summer adventures, but I still had school after Memorial Day). Summer provides such a wonderful opportunity to SEE More, DO More, and even Give More. Yet too many people plan maybe one major trip or event and miss the thousands of small possibilities to set up a sensational Summer.

This episode generates scores of possibilities SEE major events, places, concerts, parks, museums, and such. It also generates possibilities to SEE less expensive and easier to access like historic sites, small trails, libraries, in your community. In addition, we generate possibilities that you can DO recreationally, culturally, educationally, and serenely.

I truly hope that you will let your dreams work for a sensational summer. I hope this episode jumpstarts your creativity and culminates in a summer filled with fun, rejuvenation, and memories.

She began taking singing lessons at age 14 and participates in regional and national competitions. She began her career as a Bachelor degreed dental hygienist.

This episode focuses on 4 of the principles that form the foundation to let your dreams work (you may wish to listen to episode 6 for a general overview for all 9 principles):

Our God is a god of miracles. All things are possible--in God--to those who believe. We highlight that when someone operates on a law or principle we don't understand, it can appear as a miracle. Acting, even when we don't understand all things, can create what appear to us as miracles.
If you are prepared, you shall not fear. Preparation builds familiarity. It builds skill. It builds muscle memory. As we optimize connections with people who accomplished our dream, possess skills we don't have, or generate ideas and solutions to act upon: our fear is replaced with confidence, strength, and success
We each possess power to accomplish amazing things--if we choose to use that power. Using the power God bestowed upon us and tapping into that faith unleashes more within us to succeed.
When we view this world with abundance--under proper dominion--we see the possibilities around us. We recognize what Cavett Roberts taught NSA "We can increase the size of the pie to accommodate all."

Listen to this podcast. Research these principles through other sources. Act upon them with faith and belief to let your dreams work.

We all encounter windmills--false limitations appearing real--that limit our success. Windmills do not respond to plans. They present illogical and irrational emotions of doom, despair, and hesitation. Typically, experiences in our youth or childhood lay the seeds for windmills.

In this episode we discuss 3 very common windmills and how to deal with them:

I'm not ready presents as you begin to move forward towards a dream. Panic or resistance appear whispering that you cannot proceed because you are not ready. We offer 3 possible solutions to help deal with this windmill.
The Elusive Guarantee impliesthat you cannot proceed unless assured of success. We also share 3 possible solutions to help you move forward without ensuring success but enhancing the probability that your dreams will come true.
Wait! What I really want... raises its ugly head as you almost achieve success. It demands that you stop working toward that success and instead pursue something different. This windmill typically arises from fear of success, but may have other roots. The 3 possible solutions listed in this episode have proven helpful in moving forward in spite of the windmill.

You must act consistently to let your dreams work. Not all of acts succeed, yet we irrationally expect them to all succeed. In addition, even successful actions may leave us feeling discouraged. Preserving in the face of discouragement enhances the chance of success.

This episode shares examples from the life of Walt Disney, Olympic athletes, musicians (both famous and not) to emphasize the power of acting consistently even when discouraged. The episode also shares insights into acting differently to achieve success when our attempts fail to produce the results we desire. Finally, we discuss how optimizing connections and synergizing purposefully provides support, suggestions, and solutions to continue acting when discouraged.

All dreams encounter limitations. We desire some limitations to define the scope of our dream. Undesired limitations typically fall into two categories. Real limitations respond to plans to overcome them. For example, real limitations may include finances, time, skills, or more.

Windmills, however, are undesired limitations that appear real, but really aren't. Generally, windmills do not respond to logical plans. This episode explores the concept of windmills deeper than previous episodes. I list several typical windmills and describe some illogical and irrational methods of dealing with them.

In addition, I suggest that listeners review the works of Barbra Sher. She taught me so much about letting dreams work and the limitations we encounter in their pursuit. I especially suggest listeners study her books

Financial limitations respond to plans to overcome them. I share ideas in this episode that I and others used to overcome financial limitations on dreams. We share successes others achieved in overcoming limitations to

We pray our listeners enjoyed a warm and wonderful Christmas or holiday season.

We invited you, in the last few podcasts, to prepare for dreaming in 2022. This episode reviews those invitations and suggests what to do in January to assure your dreams in 2022 come true. Specific actions include:

Keep generating possibilities as the year and your dreams progress
Focus on 1 or at most 2 at a time and define the scope or desired limitations for each
Start identifying people who already achieved similar dreams or possess expertise you may need
Begin acting consistently by researching online or in publications about your dream
Meet with your mastermind group in January

I also share a personal example of a windmill (undesired, false limitation appearing real) that many listeners may share. "Why should anyone listen to me when they already understand all of this?" I pray that my experience helps others deal with similar windmills.

I also outline that, beginning with the next episode, one or two of the podcasts each month will include guests sharing how they let their dreams work. Join us for episode 13.

Traditionally people reexamine their job or career path as part of new year's goals-setting. This year, reactions to economic, pandemic, and workplace changed lead many to join what the media call the "great resignation" as 100,000s of workers quit their jobs and begin looking for new work.

We concur that the end of the year provides an excellent opportunity to consider what you want to BE professionally in 2022. Professional BEING includes job titles, professional identities, and work situations. This episode shares the example of 3 people who changed what they were (BE past tense) to Beining something new. We highlight how our model provides structure to achieve our dreams.

We also invite you to draft a dream job description to ensure you get as close to your dream as possible. Your dream job description includes 7 elements to assure your satisfaction:

What would BE your purpose for your dream job? Your dream contributions?
What would BE the responsibilities, tasks, and skills you would dream of performing?
What would BE the top 3-4 industries for your dream job?
What would BE the ideal size of the organization in which you would like to work?
Who would BE the owners of your dream organization?
What location would BE your dream country, state, city, or locale?
What would BE the dream environment, culture, management style, and rules for you?

We all encounter limitations (problems, challenges, or barriers) that may affect our dreams. Being able to label those limitations provides clues on how to handle them. This podcast outlines the two basic categories of limitations and shares examples of each;

Desired Limitations are also called scope. We need some limitations to focus our dreams. Scope may include time or the deadline by which you will accomplish your dream. It may also define how much money you are willing to spend on the project or locations of the project.
Undesired Limitations may include two types: real limitations or windmills (false limitations appearing real).
1. Real limitations respond to plans to overcome them. Your dream may realistically be limited by money, time, expertise, or more.
2. Windmills generally occur because of some experiences that pre-programmed illogical or irrational responses. Windmills do not respond to rational plans. but irrational or illogical ideas seem to help get past them.

Optimizing connections helps you label limitations and act consistently to let your dreams work.
