I can’t say how pleased I am that this post has inspired you to get a mentor. They can really turn things around for you and alert you to potential pitfalls. I really feel that by having a mentor, you increase the chances of achieving your goals tenfold. Best of luck with yours, Neomyth! Let me know how you get on with them.

what a great post. I am just starting to work out what my dreams are now (after years of being told my ideas were stupid or wouldn’t make money – shhft. who cares about money?) and this is pretty much the same model I’m working towards them with, but I hadn’t thought of getting a mentor. Now I’m going to email a uni prof. that I really admire, who works in my field (sociology and anthropology) but at a different uni, who I was always too shy to talk to when I saw her. Because really – what do I have to lose?

[...] Thirteens, and came up with some lovely surprises. This one in particular by Scottish blogger “Lives Less Ordinary” caught my eye. Amy lists thirteen steps towards making your dreams come true, and I agree with them [...]

I’ve not heard of that book, Christine, but it sounds just my kind of thing! Thanks for letting me know about it.

Oh, I’m glad you liked it enough to save, Nicholas! Number 13 is arguably the most important out of all of them. I hope you do continue to dream.

I don’t think the steps should be considered hard and fast rules, Matthew, more like recommendations really Wishing you the very best of luck in your quest!

The figuring out what you want part is often the most fun, Tanabata. I hope you enjoy dreaming up new and exciting projects!

Yes, it’s maybe not one you want to read, half-asleep, Pussreboots! It’ll still be here when you choose to come back

I hope you do enjoy Lives Less Ordinary, Linda! I’m glad you found me. Those sound like some great dreams you’re in the process of achieving

Oh, I am really going to enjoy your blog.

Awesome advice. I am just now starting to realize my dreams as a professional writer and traveller, and I love Scotland in all its weather forms (I live in California, but my family is on the Black Isle.)

I’m going to go back and reread your TT when I’m more awake. It looks very useful and informative. Happy TT.

What fantastic advice! I’ve been stagnating for a while without any real goal to work towards. I need to ‘figure out what I want’. Thanks for the incentive.

A goodly list for myself! …and some steps that sadly, I should re-look at in my own quest as I “skipped” ‘em!

I have saved that, because it contains such good advice. Especially number thirteen. We cynical, hard boiled, superannuated wannabees need reminding of that one quite a lot!
