Entrepreneurs tend to be the ones who dream and then make plans to move forward. There are about 31 million entrepreneurs in the U.S., which is approximately 16% of the adult workforce.

Yet, there are some men and women that take a more traditional approach because of what they want to do (i.e., attorney, physician, FedEx pilot, engineer, therapist, pharmacist, etc.). It’s a specific pathway to getting licensed or boarded. So you really don’t have an option.

But there still is a dream and plans that must be made.

So what is your dream?

On this beautiful day, I want you to reflect upon your desires for your life. What do you want to be when you grow up? Who are you becoming?

And then, have you ever made plans? Serious plans?

I know a woman who is going back to get her degree after retiring from her first career. It’s never too late!

However, with any great plan, there must be a great escape.

The K.I.S.S. ~ Create your great escape!

Listen closely — I’m not telling you to throw in the towel and quit. H – E – double hockey sticks NO!!!

Remember, though, it’s great to make plans, but even the best-laid plans need to be adjusted as you grow.

That’s why you create a great escape.

1. DEFINE what you want in your life. This is where you start dreaming and continuing the dream. Many people put their dreams on hold, and there’s nothing wrong with that. However, if you want something more than where you are, you have to dream, which is defining what you want in your life.
2. ADJUST as you grow. Not every plan goes as planned. So you have to make plans to adjust, especially in the season of where you are. This is where flexibility and adaptability come into play. There’s always an adventure in life when it comes to your dreams. Don’t be afraid; just plan to make
3. Take A.I.M. Action ignites motivation. With any great plan comes the great escape, which means you have to put it into action. That action creates the momentum to keep the ball rolling. It’s much easier to direct a moving vehicle rather than one that is parked and doing nothing.

Create your great escape.

CHALLENGE: What part of your dream needs your attention? Be specific about what you’re considering. Then, hone in on what matters in this season.

CAUTION: But don’t be too quick to quit either. Sometimes when you think a change needs to be made, we are quick to throw the baby out with the bath water.

CELEBRATE: Always look at where you came from to where you are now. This is a perspective that will serve you well in the distant future.
