Dream Like A Pro
By Jim Blasingame
We all have dreams. I’m not talking about the nocturnal ones—or even daydreams. I’m talking about our hopes and aspirations.
For most of us, dreams are an essential component of our being. And for those who are entrepreneurs, dreams are very important. But true entrepreneurs don’t just dream, they do something about their dreams.
Hope does indeed spring eternal. But hope in the heart of an entrepreneur does more than spring; it turns into a flow that becomes a force cutting a path to success.
The great American dramatist Garson Kanin said, “Amateurs hope. Professionals work.” Hoping something will happen when the work has not been done is the delusion of amateur dreamers. Putting work and commitment behind a dream is what pros do.
Write this on a rock…If you have a dream, make sure you aren’t just hoping it will become reality. The only way to become an entrepreneurial pro is to work your dream. Now wake up and get to work.
