Success Isn’t About Where You Are, It’s About Where You’re Going.
If you’re an ambitious entrepreneur already leading a six-figure business, you know the pressure that comes with balancing business growth, client demands, family responsibilities, and your own well-being. Some days, your results look strong. Other days, you find yourself staring at the gap between where you are and where you want to be, wondering if you’ll ever get there.
That gap can feel discouraging, even de-energising. But here’s something I have come to understand: Your current results do not define your future potential.
Your life’s purpose is to enter into the spirit of life and grow.The way you do that is simple: you never stop dreaming.
The Lesson That Changed Everything
The other week, I was speaking with Gina Hayden, who worked as my late mentor Bob Proctor’s PA for over 30 years. She shared something so simple yet so profound about holding the image of your goal:
“Do not stop dreaming, Karen.”
That reminder hit me deeply. Because as entrepreneurs, we’re often tempted to measure ourselves by current results – the revenue this month, the sales pipeline, the pace of business growth. But when you centralise your energy on what is rather than what could be, you limit your expansion.
Dreaming isn’t a luxury. It’s your responsibility if you want to grow.
Why Current Results Hold You Back
Psychologically, your brain is wired to seek safety. That’s why it pulls evidence from your current circumstances to decide what’s possible. For high-achievers running businesses, this often shows up as:
-
Overwhelm. Juggling client work, parenting, and managing a team leaves little space for vision.
-
Second-guessing. “Am I really ready to scale to seven figures?”
-
Anxiety. Late-night worries about whether there’s enough time, money, or support to do it all.
When you rely on your current results for certainty, you reinforce the cycle of busyness without growth. You stay an operator in your business instead of stepping into the identity of a visionary leader.
The Difference Between Wishing and Dreaming Strategically
Some people hear “dream” and think it’s wishful thinking. But for high-performing entrepreneurs, dreaming is a strategic act.
Here’s what that looks like:
-
Future Self Decision-Making. Instead of asking, “What can I do with what I have today?” ask, “What would I decide if I’d already achieved my seven-figure goal?”
-
Self-Image Alignment. Build the habits, routines, and environment of the woman who already leads a thriving, balanced business.
-
Clarity of Vision. Get specific: How are you living? Where are you working from? What decisions do you make with confidence?
This is how you dream with precision, not passivity.
Practical Techniques for Leaders
So how do you apply this mindset shift in your daily life while running a business and raising a family?
-
Start each day in your future self’s shoes. Before opening your inbox, ask: “If my business was already at seven figures, what would I prioritise today?”
-
Audit your activities. Separate goal-achieving tasks (sales, strategy, leadership) from maintenance tasks. Outsource or delegate the rest.
-
Use decision filters. When opportunities arise, check: Does this move me closer to my vision, or further away?
-
Practice emotional leadership. Don’t let today’s results dictate your energy. Lead with the confidence of the person you are becoming.
-
Stay in community. Surround yourself with mentors and peers who are also building from vision, not from circumstance.
Why This Matters Now
Scaling to seven figures while maintaining harmony at home isn’t about doing more, it’s about being more. It’s about holding the vision of what you want so strongly that your current results no longer control you.
Because the truth is, your children, your clients, your team – they don’t need you to be busier. They need you to be aligned. Confident. Clear.
Your business grows when you grow.
