Who is living your dream? Do you know? 

Or put another way, who do you want to grow up to be? Whether their occupation, their success, their ministry, their impact on the world – who is your role model for success? 

John, a CIO at a multi-billion $ company told me “No one ever asks me how to be me. No one seems to want to be CIO.”

His statement was odd because the same statement is written in the book Rich Dad Poor Dad – no one ever asks him how to be rich.  

But the key to finding success is to answer three questions – and one of them is to find out who is living your dream.
