- Move Your Dreams into Action
How to Move Your Dreams into Action by Connecting Your Goals to Specific Projects
A goal without a project connected to it is just a dream.
If you are serious about achieving your goals, you don’t JUST need written goals, you need priorities, projects, and a written plan to accomplish them.
How I Set and Achieve Powerful Goals
Step 1. Dream big - allow yourself to dream with the lid off about what is possible for your life. Be bold and write down what you really want.
Step 2. Turn your dreams into SMART Goals. Specific, Measurable, Actionable, Realistic, Time-Based (with a deadline).
Step 3. Identify your highest priorities - what is The ONE THING that you could do, such that by doing it, everything else becomes easier or unnecessary? (This question comes from Gary Keller in his book, The One Thing - I highly recommend it).
Step 4. Brainstorm projects that will move you toward your goal. Be sure to focus on the key metrics you need to achieve in order for your goal to become a reality. HOW will you generate leads? WHO do you need to reach out to in order to have the connections you need?
Step 5. Identify your action steps to complete each project. Estimate how much time each action step will take. Set a deadline for completion of each action step.
Step 6: Put blocks of time on your calendar for specific action items for the amount of time you estimated it will take, and label that time block with what you need to accomplish during that time.
My Challenge to You
If you find yourself wheel-spinning in your business and not making as much traction toward your dreams as you would like, get help getting to clarity! Walking through a proven process to set goals that are meaningful to you, and to identify your highest priorities will give you greater confidence to take action.

15 min - Leap of Faith: Texas to Tuscany - Featuring Angie Smith
On today’s show, we’re going to talk about taking a LEAP OF FAITH to do something totally different in your life.
My guest on this episode, Angie Smith is a coach and real estate investor at Olive and Pine Home Solutions, but you may recognize her from her Instagram and TikTok channel, Texas to Tuscany where she shares beautiful images and experiences from her journey buying a home in Tuscany!
After a long, successful career in tech, Angie decided to leave her W2 job in 2023 after becoming burned out and become a passionate advocate for women pursuing their dreams and taking bold steps towards their future. With a firm belief that every woman has the power to transform her life, she dedicates her work to coaching women on following their passions and to take leaps of faith.
Last year, she took her own leap of faith by buying a house in Tuscany, Italy. This decision not only changed her life but also reinforced her commitment to inspiring others to embrace their dreams and live authentically.
You can connect with Angie Smith at: https://oliveandpinehomesolutions.com/
OUR CHALLENGE TO YOU TODAY:
If there’s something you want to do to take a leap of faith, find someone who has gone before you on that journey and reach out to them so you can learn from them and gather courage.

MY PURPOSE:
To become the person I need to be to create the success, freedom, and quality of life that I truly desire and to inspire and support others to do the same.

19 min - Forge Your Own PathYour path doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s. The reality is - you make the rules. You get to decide how you build your business. You decide where to live, what to drive, when to work, and how to leverage your resources. Don’t get so caught up in how other people have created success, that you don’t stop and think about how your situation may be totally different from theirs. You may have a totally different set of circumstances, strengths, and opportunities. Just because you start down a path, you don’t have to continue on it if it isn’t working for you. My Challenge for You Today: Practice “upsetting the apple cart” in your life. This is a practice of looking at your situation from a completely different perspective.If there’s something you’re struggling through, write it down, and ask yourself, “what if I could no longer do that thing?” If all the current “apples in your cart” were dumped out and you had to make a new plan - what would you do instead? Stop focusing on what you can’t do and make a list of the things that you CAN do. Then, decide what you will do, and get to work.

- The ONE ThingThis is one of the most powerful questions you can ask yourself as a business owner when you are setting goals and evaluating what to prioritize on your schedule: What is the ONE THING I can do, such that by doing it, everything else becomes easier or unnecessary? This question comes from the book: The One Thing by Gary KellerIt’s a transformational principle that has changed my life and allowed me to make strides in my business, my health and my relationships. Here’s a hint: if you’re an entrepreneur, your “ONE THING” goal often has nothing to do with business - it may be related to your health and energy, your relationship with your partner, or in another category of your life entirely. In this episode, we discuss several examples to help you identify your ONE THING. My Challenge for You Today: Take a look at your goals. Ask yourself this question: Out of all my goals, what is the ONE THING I can do, such that by doing it, everything else becomes easier or unnecessary? Take a look at your to-do list and ask yourself, out of all the things on my list, what is the ONE THING that I can do THIS WEEK, such that by doing it, everything else becomes easier or unnecessary? Then, timeblock on your calendar and prioritize your ONE THING. Make an appointment with yourself to move it forward and honor that appointment. You are in the process of becoming a highly-paid professional - treat yourself like one.
