Don’t Tell Everyone Your Dreams/goals

Summary

• I learned that making a lot of money can sometimes create a disconnect with people who don’t share the same financial goals. It’s important to be mindful of who I seek advice from.

• I realized that money is not just about having enough; it's about creating value through my work. There's always room for growth and more value creation.

• I have to be careful about whom I share my dreams with, as some people might be more interested in keeping me small rather than encouraging me to achieve greatness.

• Bigger dreams can intimidate some people and make them feel insecure. This can lead them to unconsciously try to hold me back. It’s crucial to surround myself with those who support my dreams and encourage my journey.

How To Take Action

• I would suggest being mindful of whom you seek advice and share dreams with. When setting goals, seek advice from those who understand and support your vision. To do this, spend time identifying mentors or peers who have similar aspirations or can genuinely support your growth.

• A good way of creating value is by focusing on what you’re passionate about and constantly finding ways to improve and add more value to your work. This can lead to more opportunities and growth. Start by setting aside a little time each week to learn something new or improve a skill related to your business or personal development.

• Consider setting boundaries with individuals who aren't aligned with your goals. Think about the conversations you've had and reflect on whether they uplift you or hold you back. Surround yourself with people who want to see you succeed and can celebrate your achievements.

• Finally, remember that bigger dreams might make some people uncomfortable because they feel insecure. This doesn’t mean your dreams are too big; it likely means you need to find a community that gets you and your ambitions. Seek out groups or networks where ambitious thinking is encouraged and supported.
