Do you have any tips to share?

Say what? But I have always been told to dream big and have a vision out in front of me to work towards, to help create the fire in the belly passion to drive me through the tough times.

I have come to discover that this is a bunch of nonsense. For the most part anyway.

All it really does it keep our heads so far in the clouds we miss what needs to be done right now, right in front of us. Yes of course dream big, but act today. Do not live in the clouds.

Focus on today. Take an action right now that inspires you and adds value to someone else. If we all do this every day – look out – we will accomplish remarkable things together and enjoy the journey on the way to living our dreams.
