PUT YOUR DREAM TO THE TEST BY JOHN C. MAXWELL

The 10 Essential Questions to Test Your Vision

1. The Ownership Question: Is this dream really yours, or are you trying to fulfill someone else's expectations? You can't achieve a dream you don't own.
2. The Clarity Question: Can you see your dream clearly? Vagueness is the enemy of execution; you cannot move toward a target you haven't defined.
3. The Reality Question: Are you depending on factors within your control? A dream based on "luck" is just a gamble.
4. The Passion Question: Does your dream compel you to take action? True passion provides the fuel to sustain you through the "boring" middle miles.
5. The Pathway Question: Do you have a strategy to reach your dream? Maxwell insists that "hope is not a strategy"—you need a roadmap.
6. The People Question: Have you included the people you need to realize your dream? No one reaches a massive goal alone; you need a "dream team."
7. The Cost Question: Are you willing to pay the price for your dream? Everything has a price tag—time, money, and relationships.
8. The Tenacity Question: Are you moving closer to your dream every day? Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.
9. The Fulfillment Question: Does working toward your dream bring you satisfaction? The journey must be as rewarding as the destination.
10. The Significance Question: Does your dream benefit others? A dream that only serves you is too small to be truly great.

Which of these 10 questions makes you the most uncomfortable right now? That is exactly where we should start testing your vision.
