LIVING THE DREAM
A started reading a book that seemed to fall into my lap at the right time called The 5 Types of Wealth by Sahil Bloom
The book covers the 5 types of wealth in the time, social, mental, physical and financial sense.
Author seems to be at a similar point in life as myself, where having a young son has made him to become hyper aware of time
The book touches on the finite time we get with our kids, our family, our friends and how to maximize it through the 5 key areas
All while excelling at his personal and professional goals as well
In the book, there is a quote by the author James Clear
“You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.”
Systems are the daily actions that create forward progress.
High leverage systems create amplified asymmetric forward progress
So what’s this mean to me—
Generally when somebody tells me they read, I regard them as somebody interested in growth, development, improvement and they probably have some level of self-reflection
These are all great attributes
One’s you’d want to embody
Between all of the books, podcasts and YouTubes out there, there’s a wealth of knowledge literally at our fingertips
We’re all sponges to this knowledge and information. Constantly reading, taking note, sharing on socials
Once you retain this knowledge, what good is it if you don’t do anything with it?
The key is acting.
Daily asymetrical actions to create forward progress.
When we consume content and dream up ideas or dreams without putting systems in place to create them, they remain just a dream.
Create systems to live the dream.
These are things that I’ve done so far to create systems for Living The Dream—
Got a Big A$$ calendar and mapped out the year
Created SMART goals for growing my brand/channel. (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound)
Mapped out my training with run coach
Started journaling to document/track
I don’t want you to ever take this as me thinking I have it all figured out…
But I’m willing to share my process to provide value and help you learn from my mistakes and wins along the way
If you’ve found yourself listening/dreaming lately, take this as your sign to live the dream
Put the systems in place to do it
The dream you have is there for a reason
There’s bigger regret not acting on it than to at least say you’ve tried
Don’t dream the dream, live it!
