An Entrepreneur’s Guide to Lifestyle Freedom: Episode 23

Big dreamers inspire others to dream big so the first law of leadership is: Have a Dream Larger Than Those You Lead. A leader has to be comfortable communicating his or her dreams through the power of emotional intelligence – the ability to transfer emotion to your organization.

People are propelled to action by the height of your passion and inspiration. Most people want to be more than they are and they look for a leader who has a passion for greatness that will inspire them to greatness…

When you open yourself up and share your dreams, you transfer emotion. People want to be around a leader who’s transparent.

When they see transparency, not only do you transfer emotion, you also gain their trust. You’ll never be followed unless you’re trusted, and the more open you are, the more trusted you become.

My Challenge to You…

Get a BHAG! Since it doesn’t take any more energy to dream big than it does to dream small, create a BHAG… a Big, Hairy, Audacious Goal!

When I’m traveling around the world with the speakers and top salespeople in my company, I’m constantly dream building with them. I’m telling them how in just a few years, we’ll be flying in our own corporate jet rather than flying commercially.

Always remember – facts tell, but stories sell! So get into the details when you dream! My dream building stories go like this:

Instead of driving a car to the airport, having to be there an hour early, going through ticketing, fighting the crowds, going through security to take off our shoes, emptying our pockets, taking off our belts/hats/jewelry, and then sitting around waiting for our flights, we’ll be picked up by a limo. We’ll be whisked away to the private airport by our limo and be chaufferred right up to our own private jet. We’ll never even have to touch our bags – no security, now waiting, no hassles. Our own private flight attendants will welcome us with a glass of champagne and organic snacks. If we’re tired, we can go to the back of the jet and take a nap. When we land, we’ll walk down off the plane into the next limo which will take us to our luxurious resort.

The more vividly you imagine and picture yourself living these dreams, the more concrete they become in your mind and the more likely you are to turn them into reality.

When you feel that your dreams are within your reach, people around you feel that same energy and want to do anything they can to be part of your dream as well. With that being said, let’s get started dreaming right now!!

Leave your new, vivid Big Hairy Audacious Goal in the comments section below so we can talk about it together! I will be reading your dreams personally and I can’t wait to hear from you!
