Guess Who's Living the American Dream and You Can Too!
"I will come to America, which is the country for me. Once here, I will become the greatest bodybuilder in history." "While I am doing this I will learn perfect English and educate myself - but only with those things I need to know. I will get a college degree so I can get a business degree." "Simultaneously I will make whatever money possible from bodybuilding and invest it in real estate where I will make the big money." "I will go into the movies as an actor, producer and eventually director.
By the time I am 30 I will have starred in my first movie and I will be a millionaire." "I will collect houses, art and automobiles. I will see the world. Along the way, I will learn to impress people and I will hone my mind to outwit all of them." "I will marry a glamorous and intelligent wife. By 32, I will have been invited to the white house..." If you didn't figure it out yet, this list of achievements belongs to none other than the great American Success Story - Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Now when Arnold came to this country he had no job, barely spoke the language, had no connections or money. What he did have was natural ability a burning desire and a powerful personal vision coupled with a master (strategic) plan.
We may not have the genetics or desire to be a Mr/MS Universe but the lesson here is you don't need to pump iron to be successful. The real message is to pump up your dreams. Below is a check list to help you start "living The American Dream"
1. Create a Powerful Personal Vision. This is a vision of who you wish to become. For Arnold it was to be Mr. Universe and used the fame and fortune to move to the next level of success.and strategic plan and go for it! Ask yourself this question: "If you knew you couldn't fail what would you do?" Dream big! Now write this vision out using strong descriptive adjectives.
2. Draw up a Personal Mission Statement: Again Schwarzenegger stated quite clearly what he was going to do and how he was going to achieve it. If your vision is to be a doctor healing the poor, then your mission statement will reflect the steps you will need to take to become a doctor.
3. Set Goals: By 30 I will be a millionaire. Like Arnold state a goal, I will own my own business by age 25. Having a goal and putting a deadline to accomplishing it gives the goal a sense of urgency.
4. Develop a strategy or action steps: If you want to be a champion body builder then obviously spending a lot of time in the gym is one of the action steps you will need to commit to. If you are going to be a lawyer then getting good grades, studying hard and passing the bar exams are action steps.
By following the above checklist you will create a master plan and like Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger you will be living the American Dream!
