How to build the life of your dreams – Dr Martin Luther King. Jr., had a dream!
“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”
Unfortunately, he did not live to see his dream realized. But we did.
We all have dreams about the life we want to live. If you’re wanting to learn how to build the life of your dreams, then keep reading – maybe I can help.
Dreams Are Just Dreams Until They Become Goals!
It has been said that dreams are just dreams until you turn them into goals with actions.
When you take the actions associated with your goals, you will find yourself achieving your dreams.
The ultimate goal must be the realization of a long held dream.
So, what are your dreams?
For many of us, it is having the financial ability to make a better life for our families.
Some of us hope to be traveling the world.
For a few of us it could be becoming a famous film or stage actor, or a singer.
Some people may dream of being a champion athlete; tennis player; golfer; basketballer; baseballer, and so on.
Whatever dreams you hold dear will never be achieved unless you set goals. Unless you start on the road towards achieving your goals. Unless you take the actions that will lead you to a dream realized.
Also, don’t make the mistake of thinking that once you have realized a dream, that is it!
There will be new dreams for you to set your sights on. New goals with new actions to take. Always moving forward, always growing, always realizing the next dream!
How Do I Begin?
There are endless possibilities that will help you to understand how to build the life of your dreams.
Right here I would like to discuss one of these possibilities. Your first goal should be to become an online entrepreneur and work for yourself.
You will never reach your highest aspirations by trading your time for dollars and working for someone else.
You may earn a reasonable living and may be able to pay your bills. But, no doubt, you want more than that out of life!
So, working for yourself and learning about online marketing can be the beginning of your journey.
This is the starting point and I do want to emphasize that it is not a “get-rich-quick” scheme.
You will need to put in the work to succeed at your new career. But if you work hard and learn the ropes – the sky is the limit!

The training program is so comprehensive that if you are not already, you will soon become an expert in this field.
Only by working for yourself – being your own “Boss” – can you set yourself goals that will eventually lead to the realization of your dreams!
I like your suggestion of making your first goal to become an online entrepreneur and work for yourself. Once you build the skills to create your own business, you can use them your entire life. It can either be a part-time job or a full-time job. A little extra money is always helpful. I have been a member of Wealthy Affiliate for about ten years, and the skills I have learned are used everyday. I would highly recommend this training.
