Podcast Episode #3: Define Your Dream
An Action Plan for Dreamers is a weekly 20-minute podcast where we interview experts and successful dreamers about what it takes to create the life you crave. It’s short enough to listen on a short drive or your coffee break, but long enough to contain 3-5 practical steps you can take to make your dream a little bit closer.

Show Notes
French novelist Victor Hugo said: “Each man should frame life so that at some future hour fact and his dreaming meet.” In this episode we’re going to talk about clarifying your dream so it can become reality – even if it’s really fuzzy right now.
79% of people we surveyed told us that clarifying their dream was “very important” or “critically important” to their happiness. But how do you do it?
In this episode, we talk about the misconception of the “lightning bolt” moment when it all comes together. We go through our own “lightning bolt” moment when we decided to make our big life change and explain exactly how we created the perfect storm in the years prior to make it a possibility. These are the same things you can do every day to make your life open to this flash of insight.
Your Takeaways:
Eliminate what’s not working so you can find what is.
Try new things to both build your confidence in your ability and to quickly discard what you don’t like.
Find a mentor (even if he or she doesn’t know it).
