Dream or Vision?

I friend asked me a while back what my "Dream" was. My answer...I didn't have a dream. I had a "Vision". Sounds like I'm playing with words doesn't it.

Here is what I meant by that.

Originally, I did have a dream when I started my home based business. I wanted freedom and a great income. Pretty fuzzy picture really. Then I started to hone that into something that was real.

Our business can give you two things really, and perhaps much more quickly than a regular style business can do that. I think that is the magic of the internet. We aren't stuck by a geographical limitation and restricted by that growth. The two things are working from home and the freedom that entails. The second thing it gives is the ability to build a very lucrative business without much overhead. I've felt overhead before. Not fun watching most of your sales volume disappear into other's pockets and ending up with the smaller piece of the pie.

That is where Vision steps in. I know because I am over 21 years old (by a few days) that this life demands certain things from you if you want to achieve something. It is called putting in before getting out, the Law of Cause and Effect, or whatever you want to use as the phrase. In effect, it means that in order to get something you have to do something. If you are working it means showing up and doing the actions that will make your business or profession succeed. Unfortunately there are some out there who feel that if you want something then you put it out to the "Universe" and it will magically appear on your front doorstep. These are the people that are constanly checking their mailbox for the big one. Even the lottery corporations tell everyone that if you want to win the lottery then you have to buy a ticket!

What is your dream? Do you want it to be a Vision?

I know that if I want to get what I want then I need to find people who are willing to put forth their own effort AND be willing to have me help them to do the same thing. Our business is based on leveraging everyone's time and cooperatively achieving success as a team. This isn't a business for people who want to be a superstar at the expense of someone else. That dog eat dog mentality will almost ensure failure.

It really isn't a secret. Well, enough of my mental ramblings for now.
