1. Mindset vs. Knowledge
The first thing that we need to understand about turning
dreams into reality is that we will need two distinct attributes.
We need to have both the right Knowledge and a positive
Mindset. Many people forget about Mindset and consequently
are more likely to fail in their attempts to achieve what they
want, when they want.
As you can see the act of achieving anything is mostly having
the right mindset. In fact it is about ¾ Mindset and ¼
Knowledge.
Having the right Knowledge is pretty straightforward, it is
learning the skills and strategies required to carry out the tasks
you will set for yourself. The Mindset however is something
the many people struggle with.
To have a champion Mindset means that you are highly
Motivated and have the Determination and Will Power
required to make the sacrifices you will need to make.

2. Finding Your Life Purpose
One of the biggest Barriers holding most people back is that
they do not have a clearly defined ideal to strive for in their
lives. That is that even though these people may state they want
a big house and a Porsche, and even go as far as setting these
items as goals, they do not realise their true purpose in life.
To work out you Life Purpose your need to ask yourself
some questions. You need to make a list of what you do and do
not want in your life. These can be feelings, people, ideas or
objects, anything you can think of.
Next make a list of Obstacles that stand in your way of
getting these things that you want in your life.
Then think about what you want your family, friends and
colleagues to say about your life after you have died. I know
that sounds a bit morbid, but thinking about your life in this
light can be very motivational.
Finally, write up your Life Purpose as a statement of a few
sentences. Print this out, pin it up in a place were you can
review it daily.

3. Getting Motivated
There are so many methods out there, I talk about a few of
them in greater detail in my book ‘Realising Your Goals’
which can be found at www.concepts-of-reality.com, however I
will give you a basic run down here.
One of the great methods I like to use is dream posters. The
basic idea of this is to cut out pictures from magazines of
houses, cars and boats etc that you want to have in your life.
Then take some time every day to review your poster and
Visualise the life you want for yourself.
Another method is to print out Inspirational phrases and
Quotes and place them on the walls in your personal
workspace.
Take some time to Meditate, just sit quietly with some music
that you like and Visualise your life the way you want it to be.
See yourself on a holiday in the Bahamas or spending time with
your kids in the park, use your imagination.

4. S.M.A.R.T Goals
Before we set any goals it is important that we have an idea
of how to write effective goals. We want goals that are Well
Defined and are easy to motivate ourselves toward and,
ultimately, achieve.
The best framework that I have come across is the
S.M.A.R.T. philosophy. That is our goals must be:
Specific,
Measurable,
Action-oriented,
Realistic, and
Time/Resource constrained.
So, now that we have a proven framework to base our goals
on, we can now start setting some goals.
5. Defining Objectives
We now need to think about an Objective that we want to
achieve. This is something which is quite large like owning a
house on the waterfront or getting a job as an Engineer.
Visit www.concepts-of-reality.com for more!
We will of course break this down into Milestones and then
into individual Tasks later to make them more achievable.
However, for now you need to decide on some area that you
want to improve and then write it out using the S.M.A.R.T.
philosophy outlined above.
Again, I go into more detail in my e-Book, ‘Realising Your
Goals,’ which can be found at www.concepts-of-reality.com.
6. Signposting Milestones
Now we can look at the main Milestones that we need to
take in order to achieve our Objective.
Carrying on with the example of getting a job as an Engineer,
there are certain major steps we need to take in order to realise
this goal. For instance, the most obvious Milestone we need to
reach is to complete an Engineering degree.
As you can see, we are progressively breaking our goals
down into smaller, more manageable pieces.
Visit www.concepts-of-reality.com for more!
7. Setting Tasks
Next we need to break these Milestones down into specific
Tasks. These are great because you can effectively set yourself
a Task and then check it off your list. It is so easy to check your
progress.
To use another example; our Objective this time is to ‘make
$1 million from the stock market in 3 months, from an initial
investment of $10 000, by investing in stock options,’ notice this
is a S.M.A.R.T. goal.
Then let’s make our first Milestone to ‘learn how to invest in
the stock market,’ we could then proceed to break this down
into smaller Tasks.
Our first Task could then be ‘read Options Trading by Joe
Bloggs by 02 Mar 07, one chapter a night,’ notice this is also a
S.M.A.R.T. goal.
We would then of course write this up on a checklist, in our
Daily Planner or on a wall etc. And check it off when done.
Visit www.concepts-of-reality.com for more!
8. Success Credo
You can draw parallels between your Success Credo and the
statement of your Life Purpose. However, your Credo is more
of a statement of your Beliefs and Promises as to how you will
live your life.
It will provide a basis for your decision making and also
serve as yet another motivational reminder. Feel free to include
some affirmations like ‘I am always calm in a crisis,’ these
words will provide some extra motivation.
And if you state and believe these words often enough, with
conviction, your behaviour will change subconsciously to
reflect this.
9. Success Questions
It does not do much good, when you are reviewing your
goals every day, to simply say to yourself “well, I think I’m
going OK” and that is the end of it.
You need to actually look at your progress and ask yourself
Questions along the lines of; ‘How can I be doing this better?’
