Sustainable Excellence Xtras #114 - Using Other People's Dreams To Help Get To Your Goals

How do you plan to realize your goals?

Will you do it alone or in a vacuum, or will you do it with the assistance of others?

Fulfilling your goals is hard enough. Why wouldn't you welcome all the help you could get?

Here are three suggestions for using the dreams of others to fulfill your goals:

1. Ask - It seems simple, but people rarely ask their colleagues and associates about their dreams. Asking people who are successful or whom you admire what their dreams are is an easy way to see if they may fit with your goals.

2. Suggest -  If you find someone whose dreams align with your goals, suggest ways you can work together for your mutual benefit. Make sure the proposal is equitable to both sides.  

3. Act - Many people develop their plans but fail to execute the steps necessary to bring their goals to fruition. This will cause the person who could potentially help you, not to want to work with you. Also, make sure there is a fair distribution of work and one person isn't putting forth all the effort while the other person reaps the rewards. 

You will be surprised how many people will be willing to work with you for a mutually agreed upon realization of your dreams and goals. 

Nothing in life is ever accomplished without the help and input of others.
