People who achieve their dreams stand out. You cannot be a part of the crowd and achieve your dream at the same time. This was just one of the many truths I gleaned from “Put Your Dream to the Test,” Maxwell’s best book, in my opinion. I am a long-time reader of his books, and have learned many things by the easy-to-understand way he writes. However, after a few, they all begin to sound alike. Not so with “Put Your Dream to the Test”. While many of his previous principles shine through, this book gave me a bricks and mortar way to put these principles to the test.
No matter the size of your dream, the ten questions posed and the way they were presented will give the reader a good indicator of what is required of the dream, and a way to gauge the cost. The chapters covered a broad spectrum of considerations to think through when starting out. From “Ownership” to “Passion” to “Significance” to “People”, this book was more of a workbook than just a read. This helped me see a dream from many different facets. The Dream Map helped to further take ownership of the dream and lay out a general plan to make it happen.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has a dream to pursue, and is willing to view it from all angles to help count the cost.
