How to Reach Your Dreams

Happy New Year, podcast family! For a lot of us, beginning a new year means setting new goals and chasing more dreams — and this episode will help you do just that! John Maxwell is sharing a lesson from his book Put Your Dream to the Test that will help you reach the dreams and goals that you’ve set.

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 them 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.
  • Nobody ever committed to something they didn’t understand.
  • The dream is free, but the journey isn’t.

Our BONUS resource for this episode is the How to Reach Your Dreams Worksheet, which includes fill-in-the-blank notes from John’s teaching. You can download the worksheet by visiting MaxwellPodcast.com/ReachYourDreams and clicking “Download the Bonus Resource.”
