Some points compiled from Mungeam’s January 15 presentation:
1. Dare to dream
Tim Leatherman‘s road to success, and more about what you will do “someday”.

2. Pursue your passion. This is about screenwriter Mike Rich, Olympic gold medalist Beckie Scott, and the test for you: is your dream a passion or only an obligation?

3. Face your fears
Here is where you get paralyzed. Once you share your dream, you are committed to pursue it. Mungeam’s challenge here is, “Are you willing to take risks in order to pursue your passion?” Mungeam’s delineation between supporters and “toxic skeptics” is priceless. He supports the idea that you might succeed in realizing your dream mainly in order to say “nah, nah” to naysayers.
4. Divide and conquer Procrastination is the thief of time and progress is not a straight line. Mungeam outlines how we must apply effort over time in order to realize big goals. He uses Helen Raptis‘ example , and the regimen for those who want to reach Mt Everest’s summit.

5. Schedule your dreams
As Stephan King said in “On Writing“, if you want to accomplish something, you have to give it an honored place in your schedule.
6. Expect setbacks
Mungeam insists that we must see setbacks as opportunities, and that it is what you do when the going gets tough that matters most.
7. Seek coaching and feedback
8. Be persistent
Mungeam quotes Warren Miller. “If you don’t pursue your passions today, you’ll be just be another year older when you do”.

Well, you get it.
The gist of Mungeam’s new book is, “Achievers just refuse to quit! When the going gets tough, rekindle your passion — and remembers why you’re pursuing this dream.”
