Dreams Are Free—But Improved Realities Are Priceless

We all dream.

Sometimes it’s while we’re asleep. Other times, it’s in the form of daydreams—imagining the car, house, lifestyle, or business we’d love to have.

But here’s the uncomfortable truth:
Dreams are cheap.
Improved realities are priceless.

Dreams are just visions. Vague possibilities. They can inspire—but they don’t change your life.

Reality does.

And guess what? A better reality is possible. If your dreams include money, success, freedom, better health, or stronger relationships—they aren’t fantasy. They’re potential.

But only if you act.

At Myford University, we don’t believe in sitting around waiting for things to get better. We believe in making things better. We believe that you can change—your mindset, your skill set, your situation—faster than you think.

So here’s a 10-step process to move from dreaming to doing:


1. Think About Your Dreams

What do you actually want? Name it. Be specific. Don’t just say “success.” Say “$100K in savings” or “own my business” or “travel two months a year.” Vague dreams don’t become real. Clear ones do.

2. Assess Your Current Situation

Where are you now? Financially, professionally, emotionally—be honest. Knowing your starting point is just as important as knowing your destination.

3. Identify the Gaps

What’s missing? Is it knowledge? Skills? Discipline? Capital? Relationships? Be real about what stands between your current state and your dream state.

4. Make a Plan to Improve

You don’t need a 100-page plan. You need a simple roadmap: what to learn, what to do, by when. A plan that moves the needle. Not just another checklist.

5. TAKE MASSIVE ACTION

Not someday. Now. Nothing happens until you move. Don’t wait to feel ready. Ready comes after momentum, not before.

6. Reassess and Pivot as Needed

Every plan needs tweaking. Pay attention to results. Adjust, don’t quit. Iterate until it works.

7. Stack Small Wins

Wins build confidence. Knock over the first domino and let the rest fall. Small victories are the foundation of big change.

8. Achieve the Goal

When you hit it—recognize it. Celebrate, reflect, and lock it in as proof that you can do it.

9. Enjoy the Win, but Don’t Get Soft

Success can breed comfort. And comfort can kill growth. Enjoy it—but don’t lose the hunger.

10. Repeat the Process

You now have a playbook. Use it again. Set a new goal. Build the next version of your life.


Here’s the thing:
While I can give you the steps, you have to take them.

This process works. I’ve used it myself. And I’ve seen it work for people who were ready to stop watching life from the sidelines.

You want change? You want more?

Then move.

You don’t need a four-year degree or a $100K MBA to live better. You need a mirror, a pen, a plan, and the guts to follow through. That’s why Myford University exists—to show you faster, better, modern alternatives to the broken higher education model.

Let’s make your dreams worth something.

Let’s turn them into real, improved, priceless realities.
