Home Based Business – Visualisation Using A Dream Book
Do you use a dream book, or a dream board to help you visualise WHY you are doing your home based business? Many people (and I was guilty of this too when I first started my business) think that a dream book or board is a load of baloney! I found it hard to believe that sticking pictures of a new car or a holiday I wanted would help my business in any way. So every time they were mentioned, I would smile and nod, whilst thinking ‘err, no!’
Until one day at a home business meeting, when a lady bought in her dream book and showed us through it. This woman was on fire with a passion for her home business! Her eyes were alight when she showed us pictures of her family and how she intended to help them once she had the money to do so. And I realised at that moment that this lady would definitely succeed in her home based business. You could just tell from the passion she had when she talked about her dreams. You knew nothing would ever stand in the way of her success. And I guess everyone in the room took some tiny seed of a dream away from that lady and her dream book!
Not long after I came across a beautiful book, tied with a ribbon, which I requested from one of my daughters for my birthday. I didn’t go out looking for a book; I hadn’t even realised that I intended to start a dream book, but while I was browsing around a shop I saw it and thought straight away – my dream book! The seed of that thought was obviously planted in my mind by the lady with the dream book!
So a few weeks later I started thinking about what I wanted to put in my book. My WHY was to be able to afford to let my husband leave his job! And that’s where I began, with photos of him and pictures of what he might be doing instead. Once I started giving it some serious thought, I could picture what I wanted easily. It expanded my mind and my thinking – I was actually designing my future life.
This book is ongoing; it changes monthly. Some of my first dreams have become reality and I am discovering other things I want in my life. New hobbies I have discovered, that I want to spend time doing. I have also thought of a few things that I used to love doing but gave up due to lack of time and money. I can now look at old dreams again, and see if I want to resurrect them.
And don’t make the mistake of thinking its all about a new car, house or holiday. This dream book is also about giving; to charity, to relations and friends. About how I can lead a better, more fulfilled and healthier life! Of course money is important, but its not the most important!
So don’t laugh off the idea of starting a dream book. Because you have pictures of your goals clearly there in front of you, you mind accepts that and leads you towards your dreams. It is certainly happening like that to me! If you can visualise what you want out of life you can get it! Your dreams could become reality!!
