Are you willing to pay for your dream?

Chapter 7 of Put Your Dream to the Test  is talking about the price you will pay to achieve your dreams. John Maxwell says that every dream has a price. I like the reminder on pg. 147 that although every dream has a price, if that means compromising your values, sacrificing your families and ruining your health that those are prices he wouldn't pay. You might achieve your dreams but what do you have left?  

"Rather, your values should govern your dream. Anytime these two things get out of whack and the dream begins to control your values, the cost is getting too high."

"...every dream is personal, and as a result, the costs will be too."

And John Maxwell says there are at least 3 prices that everyone must pay when trying to succeed.

1. Pay the price of dealing with criticism from people who matter.
2. Pay the price of overcoming your fears.
3. Pay the price of hard work.

We've paid those three prices and are continuing to but what have we gained? Dave is now a full-time Dad and husband. No more clocking into FedEx at 6 in the morning and coming home after suppertime. No more driving on icy roads and during bad weather. No more 200-300 miles a day to work for someone else's dream.
We thought Dave's job was pretty secure because he was known as a really hard worker and took 1 sick day in 16 years. But after this last injury..and injuries are common with FedEx..the position he had worked so hard for was not available. Sure, he could have taken a desk job in another state, but he didn't have to. We had prepared ourselves before this happened by building a business. A business that is still in it's infancy and we are debt free and enjoying life like we've never enjoyed it before.
Alot of people get into business for themselves and at the first roadblock they turn back. You can't take the easy road and expect to realize a big dream!
What is your Why? What is your dream? This isn't some get rich quick scheme. This is real and if you are thinking you'll wait another couple of years and then check it out, that's up to you! But there is only one time period when a company is "ground-floor" and that's where we are with Team Beachbody.

Are you a person of action? Don't let this pass you by!
