5 Ways to Crush Your Goals

and Make Your Dreams Come True

Why Most People Struggle With Big Dreams

You know those dreams so far out of reach that you can’t even imagine a path to achieve them? You try things over and over again, hoping something will work, but it never does. I’ve been there—and this guide is for you.

Step 1: Create a Vision Board That Inspires You

Start with a vision board as big as your dreams. Include everything you could ever want—financial goals, career milestones, personal achievements—even reading 10 books!

  • Do it annually to map out the year ahead.
  • Add a “but why” statement for each dream to clarify your passion and motivation.
  • Place it somewhere visible to remind yourself daily why you’re pursuing these goals.

Your vision board becomes the anchor for your daily actions and long-term goals.

Step 2: Set a Timeline for Each Goal

Assess each area of your vision board and create a realistic yet ambitious timeline.

  • Some goals may take a year; others 5–10 years, like a dream home or career.
  • Balance being reasonable and unreasonable—don’t limit yourself with doubts, but don’t set impossible deadlines either.
  • Trust your instincts and push yourself beyond comfort zones.

Step 3: Start With Your Most Passionate Goal

Choose the goal that makes your “but why” statement ignite your soul.

  • Prioritize something achievable in the near term that can kickstart momentum for other goals.
  • Focus your energy on actions that bring immediate progress and motivation.

Step 4: Plan Every Detail

Planning is the second most important step.

  • Put everything in your calendar.
  • Make your plan foolproof, realistic, and ambitious.
  • Break down each goal into actionable steps so you can work your plan effectively and confidently.

A solid plan turns your dreams into achievable goals.

Step 5: Work the Plan Relentlessly

This is the most critical step: put in the work.

  • Goals don’t manifest on their own—you must take consistent action.
  • Treat your calendar commitments as promises to yourself.
  • Expect setbacks, but use them to improve your plan and keep moving forward.

Persistence and accountability are the keys to turning dreams into reality.

If you follow these 5 steps, you’ll be well on your way to crushing your goals and making your dreams come true. Remember: plan meticulously, act relentlessly, and stay inspired by the vision you’ve created.

Much love,
