Dreaming new reality

Dreaming new reality is a unique thinking process and an essential component for any successful venture.

I often see businesses fail because they do not know enough about potential development options even to consider them. They think about what they know about and are comfortable with, and ignore the infinite rest.

The trouble is, as Dr Daryl Cross says "the Juice of Life lies in your Courage zone."

So, who routinely gets out of their comfort zone to dream new realities and create more in the world? You are probably immediately thinking of the more successful companies and brands. You may not know about the many failures. This is business, and this is life.

Gymnasts put their bodies through new moves and then sit and imagine doing it for an hour before doing it for real, patients who have lost function, re-create muscle tone and body connection through imagining they can do it. Thinking about exercise or relaxing creates some of the benefits without the need for other action.

Do you find time for the unique and important process of dreaming into reality for yourself? Notice that you might be starting to now as you read and feel inspired about the power and control you do have to make your world.

More than dreams are required of course; we test clients on D*V*P which stand for Desire, Vision, and Planning.

Score yourself now out of ten for each and multiply across. The total is out of 1,000 and you'll note that if you are failing on any of the factors your score (we call it change potential) will be well below 500. You need to hit 700 or more or 70% to make real progress towards the goal. Test it. It's true, right?
