Ah yes, dreams — those wild fantasies we cook up at 2 a.m. when we’re convinced we’ll be millionaires, have abs, a six-figure side hustle, and a golden retriever named Bentley by next summer. Cute, right?
But hey, spoiler alert: dreams don’t magically come true just because you lit a candle and made a Pinterest board. Shocking, I know.
Here’s the tea — if you want your “future CEO” fantasy to stop living rent-free in your brain and actually start paying the bills, you need to set goals. Real ones. Like with dates. And effort. Ugh.
Start small, okay? Don’t be that person whose to-do list starts with “Become billionaire.” Try “wake up before noon” or “drink water instead of iced coffee once this week.” Baby steps, babe.
Use the SMART method — yes, it’s an acronym, not just a flex:
- Specific (No, “get life together” doesn’t count),
- Measurable (So not “just vibe and see what happens”),
- Achievable (You’re not becoming an astronaut by Friday),
- Realistic (Be honest: gym at 5 a.m.? Really?),
- Time-bound (Deadlines, not just “someday vibes”).
Set goals. Track progress. Reward yourself with something other than a three-hour TikTok scroll. Repeat.
Because let’s face it — your dreams deserve better than “manifesting” while binge-watching your 7th straight episode of a show you’ve already seen.
Go get it, future icon. 💅🏽✨
