Deep dives

The Importance of Dream Ownership

Owning one's dream is crucial for achieving it, as it fosters commitment and motivation. Many people may find themselves pursuing dreams that are not truly their own, leading to a lack of enthusiasm and eventual abandonment. For example, a person's dream might be influenced by external factors, such as family expectations or societal pressures, rather than intrinsic desires. When individuals embrace ownership of their dreams, they cultivate a deeper connection that significantly enhances their dedication to seeing them realized.

After his lesson, Mark Cole and Chris Robinson sit down to talk about the questions John has shared and give you practical ways to apply themit to your life and leadership.

Key takeaways:

The more reasons that you have to achieve a dream, the higher the odds are that you will actually achieve it.
