Dreams

[dannyzmom]

Last night we did a fun little exercise at our meeting.
I made a CD of "Dreams" songs - all songs about dreams and dreaming.
I cut out a bunch of clouds out of white cardstock and passed them around. I had everyonelay their head on a pillow while the dream music was playing and the lights were low. I asked them to think about their dreams...the dreams PC can help them fulfill. Then I turned up the lights and had them write them on the clouds in bold marker.
We taped them up on the wall and went around explaining our dream.
THen we talked about "A goal is just a dream with a deadline" and we set deadlines for our dreams...then broke them down Les Hewitt style bringing them all the way back to 3-2-1.
It was GREAT
Everyone took their cloud home and was encouraged to post it on the wall near their workspace!

I wish I did, but I don't...this is the extent of my notes:

Dreaming: play music, lights out, tape clouds up on wall when done, move from Dream to goal "A Goal is just a dream with a deadline" Set a deadline for when you want this goal to happen, (now) do the math to see how 3-2-1 can get you to that deadline and the goal and THE DREAM

LOL

Lemme see if I can expand...
I started with a bunch of clouds cut out of white card stock. I had these ready before the meeting. Everyone was told to bring a pillow and their cutest slippers (we did a prize for the cutest slippers)

I lowered the lights and put on a CD of "dream" songs. I had literally googled "dream songs" and then had DH make me a CD of songs about dreaming.

I had everyone put their head on their pillow and just THINK - think abou their dreams...dreams that PC could help them reach.

Then lights went back up and I lowered th emusic a bit and had them write or draw their dream on their cloud.

We then talked abou thow a GOAL is really just a dream with a deadline. I asked them each to give their dream a deadline. Then we broke down the steps to each that goal/dream/deadline focusing on the fact that every one of them led back to 3-2-1.

Ex:
one gal said "I want to pay off my house by Dec of 2008"
Ok - let's break it down...
you have $xxxxx left to pay off
that breaks down to $xxx per month between now & then
how many shows a month does it take to earn that much per month?
How can I get those shows on my calender?
By making 3 contacts a day...which will lead me to 2 shows a week...which will lead me to 1 recruit a month...

Each consultant got to take their cloud home and was encouraged to post it up on the wall in their office space.

How did you come up with this idea?

It just came to me when I got home from conference -- I ran it by my AD (with whom I do meetings) and we tweaked it and made it what it is.
