Are you like me? Do you fantasize about owning your own business someday? Do you have the next big idea for a product or service, but you don’t know where to start? Entrepreneurship is what drives our economy. Entrepreneurs create jobs, and they achieve the American dream — financial independence. However, having an idea doesn’t make you an entrepreneur. Taking an idea and turning it into a profitable business is the definition of an entrepreneur.
Entrepreneur Online has a great article about how you can turn a dream into a reality with just ten minutes a day.
Here’s what you can do in just 10 minutes today:
1. Consider your someday dreams carefully. What is your life calling for? Take 10 minutes to write out a list of all the things you’ve been thinking about doing but haven’t done.
2. Choose one thing on that list to experiment with. It doesn’t matter which one you choose. Often in our coaching programs, people start with one thing, then start seeing results in other areas. We soon see people accomplishing everything from clearing off their desk to starting a global program to end world poverty.
3. Spend 10 minutes focusing on that one thing you’ve selected. Imagine that you have successfully achieved whatever dream you’ve chosen. Fuel the fantasy with as much positive energy as you can. What would you be feeling if you woke up this morning and that dream had come true? That’s the feeling you want to focus on. If you do nothing else with your someday dream but spend 10 minutes every day doing this exercise, you will see results.
4. Ask yourself, what is one small step I can take now that would get me closer to this imagined future? Can you make a phone call, spend 10 minutes on internet research, pick up some supplies the next time you are at the store?
Number four is what I tell everyone I meet when they pitch a new idea to me. You cannot start a business or turn in a dream into a reality overnight. You need to take small steps over a long period of time to create a sustaining, profitable business. You can do it, you just need to actually DO IT.

The key to all of this is action. Nothing happens without it. 10 minutes won’t get you the millions today, but 10 minutes of action can get you the plan to get there.
Nothing comes fast without work. Good find!
