About this episode
Maybe you’re someone who has a dream, but you’re not sure how to get started on your journey to achieving it. Maybe you even think it’s too much of a long shot. Well, in this episode, John Maxwell shares four obstacles that often get in the way of people achieving their dreams and what we can do to avoid those pitfalls.

During the application portion of this episode, Mark Cole is joined by Traci Morrow as they discuss John’s lesson and what they’ve done in their own lives and leadership to continually pursue the dreams they have and the lives they envision for themselves.

Our BONUS resource for this episode is the “What Stands Between You and Your Dreams Worksheet,” which includes fill-in-the-blank notes from John’s teaching. You can download the worksheet by visiting MaxwellPodcast.com/YourDream and clicking “Download the Bonus Resource.”
