After years of feeling stuck and working through tough challenges, I have come to the five steps below. They have helped me overcome obstacles and find out how to bring about my dream life. Here are the five steps that make up my Shield Success Plan template. 1. Create your Dream Blueprint This is creating a vision for your life. Take the time to sit quietly to reflect on what you really want your life to be like. I encourage you to think about drafting this in a way that weaves joy into the picture. Use pen and paper to write this and then transfer it to digital form later if you desire. Be sure to imagine all the great feelings when this Dream Blueprint (vision) becomes a reality. Really allow yourself to soak in the picture of living your dream. 2. Know Your Why What is your reason for wanting the life you envisioned with your Dream Blueprint? How will your life be better and how will the world be better? Your why takes you from good to great. It also helps you stay inspired and on track when tough times hit. 3. Pick Your One Thing & Goals This is the One Thing that is most important for you to focus on at the moment in pursuit of your Dream Blueprint. It is good to pick this at the start of each week, and pick a new one if you finish it before the week ends. It is also helpful to set goals that lead to the realization of your Dream Blueprint. I encourage the people I professionally advise to at least set a monthly goal. 4. Set Your Power Hour & Super Friends Your Power Hour is a time, as early in the day as possible, ideally first thing in the morning. This is when you get to take massive action towards your Dream Blueprint focusing on your current One Thing. Your Super Friends are those who will support you on this. They may also be people you hire or recruit to be on your team. 5. Do Your Selfcare365 This is daily self-care. Make a list of things that fulfill you, sustain you, rejuvenate you and/or bring you joy. Do at least one thing from this list as early in the day as possible. You can do something else from the list later in the day if you need a lift, such as if you face a difficult challenge. Ready? Take the time to dive into each step above. Save this as a reference. Reach out to me with your questions. I’m happy to give feedback. Let me know how this works for you.
