There are 5 stages of a dream, but most people never get past stage 2. To make dreams become a reality, you need to fulfill all 5 stages.

It all starts with a thought.

I thought it stage

Every dream starts with a thought. You begin to wonder what it would be like at achieve your dream. You question if it is even possible for it to become a reality and whether you can move forward as more than just a thought.

I caught it stage

After you think about t for a while, you get excited. You begin to think of the possibilities and it becomes more than just a thought. You begin to research and read about it and make contacts and get more information. You start to believe you can do it. This is the stage that most people stop at. They may read about some business opportunity online and get excited about the possibilities of a change in lifestyle and the money they could make and what good they could do with it. They go through all the information but are too scared to move to the next stage which is the I Bought It stage.

I bought it stage

This is the stage that separates the men from the boys. The serious from the tire kickers. The entrepreneurs from the hopefuls. Every dream has a price. Most people can think it and catch it, but are not willing to pay the price to continue their dream and make it a reality. They are not willing to get up early and stay up late. Not willing to get the education and learn new skills. Not willing to pay to go the extra mile and do what it takes, whether with a financial or time and effort commitment. They assume because they have a dream, it will come to them automatically. Nothing comes without action and effort. Every dream has a price. It is going to cost you hours of doing things others wont do. Otherwise, your dream will pass you by.

You have to pay now and play later. Get the discipline and education now so you don't play now and pay later. Go after the dream while you are able, for if you don't you will regret it later in life. The I bought it stage has a price to pay. Once you pass this test though, you get to move to the next stage.

I sought it stage

The desire begins to set in and you begin to go after it. You get on a mission with laser focus and take the action needed to make your dream a reality. You sell yourself on the fact that you are going to do what it takes to become a success. You don't listen to the negative people in your life who say it can't be done. Nothing is going to stop you.

I got it stage

When you are determined, nothing can stop you. Once you reach the I got it stage, you are standing in the dream. It has become a reality and you are living it. It is no longer a theory in your head. Your thoughts and actions have manifest into reality. Your dream has come to be. Your lifestyle has changed, you are living as you dreamed you would and you can afford to do the things you wanted when that first thought sparked in your mind and you began to think of the possibilities.

I taught it stage

There is another stage after you have realized your dream. This is when you have a passion for teaching the things you have learned and you become a mentor and a leader to other people who want to share your dream and have the success that you have. These are the leaders in your company that do trainings and are willing to give their time to help others achieve their dreams. There is as much satisfaction from this stage as there is from realizing your own dream.

A dream breaks through your limitations. When you begin to live the dream, you begin to establish new dreams, bigger and better than your original thought.

If you apply yourself and make up your mind that you are going to achieve your dreams, they will become a reality. It all starts with a dream!
