Driving your life into a higher gear doesn’t happen by itself.  You’re at the wheel and to step up the power, you will need certain things.  Here’s my quick and dirty list to help you go from start-up to inspired success!

1. Creativity & Imagination – By now you’ve probably taken some time to Dream what you want this year to bring.  And if you haven’t, block some personal time now for it.  Nothing goes anywhere without your imagination engaged.  I dreamt up the Vision Board retreat in November and 2 weeks ago 11 amazing women came to engage with their dreams!  Create quiet time without distractions – you know what distracts you: phone, email, kids, partner, pet; so set these things aside in a clear way.  A journal or writing paper, colored markers or your favorite pen to capture the vision.  In stillness, ask yourself: what would I do if I knew I couldn’t fail?  Listen for your true answer.
2. The Plan – Great ideas are only that if you don’t have a clearly marked Road Map to make them real.  Wishing is just wishing.  Outlining a step-by-step plan gives you the pathway to get where you’re headed. 
3. Support: Your Cheerleaders – We all need somebody we can lean on (as Mick said)!  What support do you need?  Answer this taking into consideration your Mind, Body and Spirit.  You are not alone – but you have to ask! Who will it be?
4. Flexibility and Stretch – You know the phrase ‘The best made plans…’?  Things don’t always go as we envision.  Sometimes there’s a better way, a different timing, a new discovery.  Be flexible and listen as you move forward.  When suprises show up, stretch yourself in new ways – you’re bigger than you think! Step into your unique experience and dance with it as a fully engaged partner.
5. Fuel for the Road – In my life I’ve used these 2 things over and over for success: Devotion and Consistency.  Engage your Passion and keep your lighthouse shining. If you don’t, your dreams won’t know where to find you!

Implementing the items on this list is a surefire way to cruise down the highway to your Dreams.  So what do you think?  What will be your first step?
