Step 1: Your Dreams - The Foundation of your Vemma Business

Your first step on the Roadmap to Success is to learn to dream! Your dreams will truly provide the foundation for your Vemma business.

Think about it… most of us as children were natural dreamers. One day we wanted to be a doctor, the next day an astronaut or veterinarian, or teacher, or explorer. Anything was possible and there were absolutely no limitations! Unfortunately, as we grew up; we all had our share (or more than our share) of disappointments and heartaches. As part of the life experience, we felt personal and professional rejection and disappointment. We had many hopes and aspirations and, of course, many of them did not become a reality. As a result, most people lose the desire and ability to dream. Most people begin to settle for mediocrity, for whatever life will give them as opposed to achieving an extraordinary life of their dreams. In fact, it has been said that most people work just hard enough to not get fired, and most employers pay people just enough so they don’t quit. Many people go through their adult lives having never given their ABSOLUTE BEST to anything.

Well, here is the good news… it does not have to be that way! This is not for you! This is not your chosen path and with your Vemma business and the Roadmap to Success training, you can truly break out of this pattern, break away from mediocrity, and design the life of your dreams.

Learning to dream again means that you spend some time identifying what you want out of life AND what you want out of your Vemma business. Vemma is the vehicle that can take you where you want to go. It has been our experience that Members who clearly identify and envision their dreams are more excited, consistent and persistent. You will consistently take the steps necessary for success as long as you have enough REASONS why you want to succeed.

Now, we want to take a few minutes to help you begin to shape your dreams. Remember, this is IMPORTANT! Your dreams will fuel your desire, motivation and efforts as you launch and grow your Vemma business. Take some time with these simple exercises so your business will have a rock solid foundation.

First, take 5 to 10 minutes for a “Dream Big Dreams” exercise. In the space provided, fast forward 3 years and write down the details of your ideal life. Here’s a question: How big would you dream if you knew you could not fail? Where would you live? How would you live? How would you spend your time? Who would you spend your time with? Would you travel? Where would you go? What would your personal income be? How much money would you have in the bank? What would you do for fun? What charities or philanthropic causes would you support with your time, money and resources? Who would you help? What would a typical day look like and feel like? (Please look at a watch or clock and keep your pen moving for at least 5 minutes. Don’t worry about spelling and grammar… just have fun and get started!)

Now that you have completed this initial dreaming exercise, remember that you can modify and rewrite it at any time. These next several exercises will help you begin to get specific with your dreams and the reasons why you are going to build a successful Vemma business.

Next, write down your specific income goal for 3 years from today. In other words, what will your monthly residual cash flow be in 3 years? Don’t be afraid to dream big dreams! Remember, we are engaging in “possibility thinking” with no limits. After you identify this income target, write down your top 3 dreams that this cash flow will make possible.

Following this same methodology, break down your monthly residual cash flow objective into 1 year and 6 month targets. Then identify your top 3 dreams associated with each income target. Remember, the monthly residual cash flow is a measuring stick. The real power comes from your dreams. What will this cash flow make possible for you and your family? What will the “time freedom” that comes with a residual cash flow make possible? What are your REASONS?

Now that you have completed the initial Dream Big Dreams exercises, it is important that you continue to focus on them. Visualize with emotion your 3 year dreams. Imagine yourself living the life you have imagined. This will fuel your desire, consistency and persistence.

One final thought on your dreams… PROTECT THEM! Protect them with a passion because they will be attacked. There are many negative people in the world and they are trained recruiters! They are focused daily on recruiting others into their world of negativity, pessimism and complaining. We call them “dream stealers”. Sometimes it is a well meaning friend or family member who has settled for mediocrity and they “don’t want to see you disappointed”. More often it is someone who does not have the desire or discipline to change their circumstances (they would rather talk and complain than actually do something) and so they don’t want to see anybody else step out in faith and make something positive happen. Remember the saying, “misery loves company”? Well, it is true. Protect your dreams with a vengeance. After all, this is YOUR life. This is not a dress rehearsal. The people that attack your dreams are not going to take care of you and your family so don’t listen to them. Don’t follow them and their chosen path. We have always been amazed that often times, it is the individual who is unhappy, negative, and financially broke who claims to have all the answers! Do not be swayed. Remember your REASONS. Visualize yourself achieving your dreams and stay away from negative people. Protect your dreams by focusing on them. Each day when you do something positive with your Vemma business, imagine yourself one step closer to achieving your dreams.

It has been said that the journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step. You have just completed the first step in the Roadmap to Success training. Now let’s build on the foundation of your dreams!
