People ask me this question all of the time.
I know how it feels. You have ideas but you don’t want them just to live in your head. You want them to be real.
So how do you make ideas happen?
How do successful people make their dreams come true? What’s the difference between those who achieve their goals versus those who struggle to find their inner voice and confidence?
Here’s step 1: Listen to your inner voice.
I believe we are all born creative and that we all have gifts to share with the world. Somehow, deep inside you, you already know who you are and who you are meant to be.
Listening to that inner voice is the first step to your destiny.
Step 2: Write down your goals.
Take a moment to listen your inside and write those goals down.
Step 3: Start learning. Study the masters.
Learn from mentors. Studying with mentors is the fastest way to learn; there’s no need to reinvent the wheel.
Success leaves clues and you can follow them to grow faster. Continue to grow and never give up. Mistakes are part of the learning process to mastering your craft.
For me, I’ve grown from being a spreadsheet jockey at Pixar to art directing video games to published author and illustrator to an entrepreneur.
I’m living proof that you can peruse your dreams and live the creative life you’ve envisioned for yourself.
Step 4: Envision the Future.
Everyone has a unique gift to give to the world.
So I’ve got a question for you. What’s your unique gift? What’s your passion? What’s your creative vision?
If you’re a storyteller, I invite you to join our creative community at Storyteller Academy. At storyteller Academy, you’ll get the training and tools to become a published author or illustrator.
Step 5: Make a plan and just get started.
