It is important to emphasize that everyone - not just entrepreneurs - can follow their dreams. Visualizing and stating one's dreams helps greatly to make them happen. Think about and express personal dreams and passions relating to your ideal business or service activity or enterprise, which involves exploring their fulfilment of personal potential and strengths.
