This was the second most requested topic for a solo episode based on a poll I posted in the Devoted Dreamers Facebook group earlier this year >> Planning Your Dream While Doing Your Dream. If you’ve let your desire to plan stand in the way of bringing your dream to life, I hope this episode provides you with a bit of perspective on how you might get started right now, even if you don’t have it all figured out.

IF THE NEED TO PLAN IT ALL OUT HAS KEPT YOU FROM STARTING, THIS IS THE EPISODE FOR YOU!

My four key points from this episode:

1. God has designed you with a purpose

2. Don’t let planning stand in the way of action taking

3. Make a habit of trying new things…and allow yourself to make some mistakes

4. Schedule time for reflection and subsequent innovation

I’m not saying planning is a bad idea or that you shouldn’t seek wisdom before you make a huge investment of time or money in your dream; both of those things are good ideas. It’s just that sometimes the need to plan becomes an excuse not to start and we end up avoiding what we know we should be doing because we either feel scared or don’t know what step to take next.

Still feel like you need time to plan or reflect before you take that next step? Join me and other devoted dreamers for a Zoom call: Friday, Dec 18th at 2pm MST – Dreaming & Reflection Session on Zoom – 90 minutes.

Scripture:

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works,
which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
~ Ephesians 2:10 (ESV)

We have become his poetry, a re-created people that will fulfill the destiny he has given each of us, for we are joined to Jesus, the Anointed One. Even before we were born, God planned in advance our destiny and the good works we would do to fulfill it!
~ Ephesians 2:10 (TPT)

God’s marvelous grace imparts to each one of us varying gifts and ministries that are uniquely ours.
~ Romans 12:6 (TPT)

In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.
~ Ephesians 1:13-14 (ESV)
