You have to proceed in a systematic manner, put down your plans in writing, prepare action schedules and act accordingly. You need to read the necessary background material, so you optimize your plan - meaning also that you reduce your risk. The more precisely you formulate the steps to your future, the more you reduce your risk.
Expect that in your actions of implementing your plan you will run into problems. Do not give up because of these problems some of which you may want to label failures. There are no failures, only educational experiences. And the faster you collect these educational experiences the better for reaching your goals.
Yes, your dreams are first converted into a list of goals. Then you work on your plan to achieve these goals. Is your thinking still blocked by fear? Replace fear by courage and risk assessment. Fear blocks action and prevents you from thinking about how to overcome fear. Substitute risk assessment for fear. Risk can be expressed more quantitatively and you can always work on reducing risk, while fear stops you in your tracks, stops you from thinking how to really solve the problems which you encounter.
Divide a big problem into a series of little problems and solve them individually, one at a time, and reduce the risk by knowing all the details in the steps. Think also about working around problems.
Thinking by itself is not enough. You have to proceed to act according to the schedule in your plan. Action is next important to thinking to get anywhere and to reach your goals. Although you can act as by necessity, you progress much more quickly by acting enthusiastically and with passion. Your enthusiasm is next important to your actions.
It does not matter whether your goals are private ones or business goals. They are all solved in the same way by developing written plans and proceeding along the schedule in the plans. There are books which will guide you further and go into more detail. Some are long, others are short, thereby allowing you to proceed within just a few hours, such as the book "CreateYourFuture-NOW" with link
