I’m a dreamer. Always planning for the future. Today often gets shoved under the carpet as I dream of life a year from now. But dreaming and doing are two very different things. I can’t get to that future point if I don’t take steps today to get there.
Case in point: I want to publish a book. I dream up covers and marketing ideas. I wonder if I’ll be able to get over stage fright to do readings. The problem is, I haven’t actually written the book yet. How can I get to that future point of publication if I don’t spend time today writing?
What’s on your agenda for today? Oh sure, you’ve got work and maybe a networking event function afterwards, but what are you doing today that will take you a step closer to where you want to be tomorrow?
The most productive and successful people in the world are those who are strategic. Are you being strategic with your time? Are you doing something every single day that will lead you to where you want to be in the future?
Interesting and scary questions!! I’ve already written the book and I revisit it from time to time … it lives on my hard drive …. has for over 2 years now … and yes, I know the clock is ALWAYS ticking, dammit!!
Make sure to back it up on CD or a zip drive! I can’t wait to read it!!
