In the first building wealth article I mentioned the importance of setting goals. Many people have so many ideas and business ventures they would like to embark on but they don’t know where to start. I advise you to start by writing everything down you think you would like to do. They might be as opposite as opening a record label and opening a bakery. I insist, no matter what your dreams are write them down. You never know what can happen and it is never wise to limit yourself.

  After you have written down all your dreams, pick the dream that is closest to your heart. Ask yourself “In what ways can I move closer to my dream without having to drastically change my everyday situation?” For example, you have a job as a clerk but you have the dream of becoming a great cook. On the weekends you can perfect some of your recipes. Let your dream progress. First you perfected your recipes, now its time to publish a cookbook. You begin to sell your book to friends, families, coworkers, and anyone else who is willing to buy. Sales of your cookbook begin to take off. Now you are at a crossroads. Do you keep your job as a clerk or do you pursue your dream of being a great cook fulltime? Only you can make that decision. The cooking example to just to illustrate how a little nourishing of your dream can help your dream become a reality.

  Don’t get me wrong, dreams can take up a lot of your resources, such as time and money. But it’s worth it in the end. When you do something you love, you’ll find ways to make money doing it.
