I have a strategic plan

What if Martin Luther King had said that, instead of "I have a dream"? Would it have moved so many people?

I think it was Lou Holtz who talked about this in a video I watched last week as part of the Harvey McKay University.

Dreams are powerful, not only for ourselves but for others also. Dreams inspire and motivate people. And most importantly, they inspire and motivate you.

What are your dreams? What do you want most in life? Love? Success? Money? Happiness? Then dream it. And share your dreams. You really can't do it all. If people share your dream, they'll be glad to help you and/or support you.

But a dream by itself is not enough. You do need a strategic plan. I've talked about this before. You need goats! Your dreams are your vision. But to make your vision a reality, you need to attach a deadline.

Dream it! Share it! Live it!
