Never Surrender Your Dream

Admin note:  I ran into this article by Charlie Page and thought it spoke eloquently about my own beliefs: Reprinted with permission.

Do you have a dream today?

Can you see yourself in one year, three years, ten
years?

Far from some pie-in-the-sky hype, dreams are the
currency of the Internet.

Many reading these words right now dream of quitting
their job and working at home.

Some dream of having a home of their own.

Sadly, some don’t dream any more.

But we MUST dream in order to thrive!

From the time that man has been able to record thought
individuals and societies have dreamed big dreams.

So what is YOUR dream today?

No matter whether you dream of riches and a luxury
lifestyle or of more time to develop deep relationships
or ways to serve your fellow man better (or all three!)
your dream is your roadmap.

Without it how will you know where you are going?

Recent events have driven home the fact that life is
short indeed. Too short to spend it working at a job we
don’t love.

Listen to these words by Brian Tracy …

“All successful people men and women are big dreamers.
They imagine what their future could be, ideal in every
respect, and then they work every day toward their
distant vision, that goal or purpose.” – Brian Tracy

If you were my brother or sister, this is what I would
say to you.

You must have a dream to make a dream come true.

And you must *never* surrender your dream.

If you are like most people you will spend more time
working than doing any other activity. Yet many don’t
like their work.

If you are in that situation you will be encouraged by
the words below.

First things first, I truly believe that ANY man or
woman of average intelligence or better can make a full
time living online.

It is with that basis of belief that I share, from my
experience, five simple keys to help you define your
dream and take action toward that dream.

Time is fleeting. Begin now.

—> Embrace The Change

The Internet really has changed things.

The fact is, jobs exist today that didn’t five years
ago.

Even though many online marketers would have you think
that the word job is a four letter word, there is
nothing at all wrong with having a job.

I’m *very* grateful for the people who work with me,
and I hope they feel the same.

Whether we work for ourselves or others, we all have a
job to do.

The GREAT news is that the Internet has created so much
MORE opportunity than before.

Just think, only 20 years ago there were no pay per
click specialists, SEO outsourcers, eBook editors or
any of the 100 other jobs we can do online.

How does this apply to you?

Start by identifying your skills and what you want to
do (more on this in point 2) and then look for that
type of work online.

You might start by working for someone else on a
contract basis and then move into your own thing.

Or you might just find a partner and form a working
relationship that spans decades.

If you can dream it, you can DO it!

—> Know Yourself

What do you REALLY want?

Spend some time with yourself and think expansively.

If you could do anything, if money wasn’t a factor,
what would you do?

Keep asking until you find an answer.

When you find that answer pursue it with all your
heart.

It might take days, weeks, months or even years before
it becomes real. But real it will become if you move
toward it with all your heart.

Once you know what you really want you will become an
opportunity magnet for the thing you desire.

As you think, so you will become.

—> Research Your Answers

You will be shocked to discover the money earning
possibilities online.

Pick your favorite search engine, start a bookmark
folder just for this, and find everything you can about
your passion.

Visit forums in the area of your interest and lurk for
a while, learning from those who are active. When you
are ready announce yourself to the forum and start
looking for ways to get active in the area of your
interest.

—> Be Willing To Start Small

You may only be able to commit a few hours at night to
your new field because you have to feed the family.

That’s OK.

Time is your ally.

And time will prove if your idea will work.

Be willing to work for the chance to learn and soon you
will be where you want to be.

Internships work – consider starting there.

Jobs like being a virtual assistant, a net researcher,
or doing graphic art for e-Books exist today because of
innovative thinkers who found their passion.

Find your passion.

Don’t stop until you find (or create) that type of work
that both makes you happy and pays the bills.

Who knows, YOU might be the innovator who creates the
next online industry.

Winston Churchill said “The nose of the bulldog has
been slanted backward so it can breathe without letting
go.”

When it comes to our dreams we need to be like the
bulldog. We must never surrender our dreams.

Because having a dream is a beautiful thing indeed.
