Your dream has power. It can inspire and empower you. But what does it take to make that dream a reality? The book Put Your Dream to the Test provides a step-by-step action plan that you can start using today to see, own, and reach your dream. Dr. John Maxwell draws on his forty years of mentoring experience to expertly guide you through the ten questions required of every successful dreamer.
Chris Marlow, founder of Help One Now, writes about Dr. Maxwell’s book, “There is no doubt we all have dreams. Yet, for many those dreams seem untouchable or hard to capture in the real world. John Maxwell strives to help us connect the dots with a practical book that can be a huge benefit to all of us ‘dreamers’.”
In Put Your Dream to the Test, John C. Maxwell puts forth ten questions that we should ask ourselves to help us realize our dreams. Dr. Maxwell defines a dream as “an inspiring picture of the future that energizes your mind, will, and emotions, empowering you to do everything you can to achieve it.” His ten-step “Dream Test” forms a framework for people to examine different aspects of their dreams including ownership, clarity, reality, passion, pathway, people, cost, tenacity, fulfillment, and significance. When people can answer “yes” to each of the ten questions, the likelihood that they will achieve their dreams significantly improves.
