Your dream life is waiting.
“Your dream life is waiting.” – Brian Watkins the Extreme Entrepreneur
Not only is this my inspirational & challenging personal tagline that I signoff with on virtually everything, but it is also a true statement for virtually every single human being on planet Earth today. I promise.
So, specifically… What is your dream life? And how is it that it is waiting?
Here are the quick straight answers…
- Your dream life is waiting because virtually every person on Earth today has the real potential to actually achieve & live out their own custom dream life. Even most people who are in very bad circumstances of life hold this real potential within their lives, where all they have to do is intelligently act.
As of my brianwatkins.com 2.0 site launch on Midnight, 1-1-2009, I have committed to continuously, publicly using this personal tagline of “Your dream life is waiting.” I took over three years to develop and decide on this personal tagline because I wanted it to be an extremely solid pillar of my personal brand. I am really excited about this tagline because it pumps me up when I say it and it acts as just one more mechanism for positively engaging with & impacting other people. I purposely crafted my tagline that way with the word “Your”, where it intentionally is speaking to both me as well as others.
I am all about ultimately living out huge amounts of my positive potential as a human being. The goals & vision of this is all tied into my dream life that I have crafted for myself. And let me tell you, my dream life, combined with my seriousness & position to achieve it, may be the most outrageous combination that exists on the planet…no joke. I hate putting limits on life, so I want the most major results I can think of. But at the same time, I’m not super focused on theoretical dreaming either. I come up with concrete objectives and concrete executable strategies to back them up. I just see how to go beyond what most people think is doable. Something I would really love to do in my life is become a worldwide durable inspiration for human achievement because of my future extreme personal accomplishments. And I’m primarily not talking about material accomplishments. It would really be worth it just for the direct rewards of the accomplishments themselves, but to serve as a powerful global inspiration to humanity would be an amazing honor as well.
My ultimate goal with humanity in my life is giving the gift of World Happiness. What is a ‘one size fits all’ thing that could be given to humanity, where World Happiness would exist? A good answer to that is our dream lives. One’s dream life is all about the best for each individual. Giving every person their dream life and having them be consistently happy is a much bigger task than a minimal state of World Happiness. However, any state of World Happiness would be an outrageous, never before seen, feat of human achievement. But the fact still remains that happiness only takes a shift in psychology or emotion, where the experience of pain & pleasure is optimized. It isn’t technically that hard, yet it is so elusive and ultimately has been one of hardest things for people to make happen in the real world. Regardless of my Ultimate Goals, you and I individually have the power to actually go out and create our own dream life & fulfillment.
Your dream life is waiting. For real. It really is. Odds are that you can live it within your life. And living it is totally worth the effort of making it happen. Just visualize having it and you’ll probably agree that it is worth a HUGE amount of effort. You are going to put a lot of time, effort, & resources into your life regardless, so why not put it into your dream life?

Now, let me go into more detail about the meaning of “Your dream life is waiting.”
I’ve always thought differently than the average person, but at one lengthy period of my earlier life had accepted living an average life, despite having consistently strong desires of an extreme life of outrageous achievement, contribution, & pleasure. But my real life target & plans were much more aimed towards average overall. Sadly, this is where the majority of people are in their heads throughout the world. However, I’m here to say… “Wake the fuck up!” because “Your dream life is waiting.” …for real! I know because I have lived life on one side of the mountain, climbed to the top, and am now running down the other side because of the opportunity & beauty I can see there. But, because I care for you & humanity, I am pausing for a little bit to make a phone call back to the majority of the world on the other side to tell you of the timeless beauty & abundance of riches waiting for anyone who makes the journey to the other side. This is no joke. This is a perfect analogy for what really exists in life for human beings.
If a fair amount of people throughout history have climbed this mountain successfully, they have, then isn’t it logical that most all other human beings can climb the same mountain if they were dead set on doing so? Yes. And that is the downfall of most of humanity…our psychology or state of mind or mindset. Most all people stop themselves by not doing whatever it takes to become indefinitely hell-bent on achieving this. Remember, I wasn’t there throughout many years at the beginning of my life. Not until I skipped college and solidified my Ultimate Goals, did I deeply carve this hell-bent mindset into my psychology & identity for climbing this mountain and living out my custom dream life. Some people get lucky and are handed a lifetime of experiencing their dream life, but it is rare, even among those born wealthy. And many people obtain it, only to end up losing it later on and never recovering. So ultimately it is about deeply carving the standard that you absolutely must obtain your dream life into your core psychology & identity. There are many strategies & tools that have been developed for impacting, changing, & engineering your psychology & state of mind. So I’m here to tell you that you can predictably craft this mindset within yourself and much more, given that you put in the base effort to do so.
Now, let’s take this chance to recap on our assumptions in sequential order…
2. Massive Action in Climbing Mountain even at High Cost, which leads to…
3. Probability of Success for Climbing Mountain, which leads to…
4. Ability to Claim Your Custom Dream Life
Since some still won’t see it, let’s layout a specific example…
Even though one can choose to have a complex array of extreme abundance across many areas of life, let’s use a very simple & traditional perspective on one’s dream life. Let’s define this simple, traditional dream life as the following components…
- A strong, happy, healthy family with one’s spouse and quality children.
- A successful, enjoyable career that steadily makes one $10MM over a lifetime.
- A strong base of good traditional friendships and life experiences.
If you casually ask what people ultimately want their life to be like, most will probably answer with something that looks like this, give or take a bit. However, someone like me would feel like an automatic failure if I pursued that and instead is going for the most extreme end of the dream life spectrum. If I ever achieve anything like the dream life I have planned for myself, then it will be out of this world compared to most people of this time period in history. In seeing me achieve my dream life, most people of today would become very inspired, some would become super jealous, and a few would become sick because they don’t believe people should live lives of that much happiness & abundance in this life. I say “people of today” because a secret, super powerful technology called “simulated reality” that can predictably give almost every single person this extreme of a custom dream life is actually coming to humanity down the road, if humanity isn’t seriously wiped out first. When virtually everyone is living it, then an extreme, custom dream life won’t be so extreme anymore. But that is another topic for another time. Now, back to demonstrating the specific traditional dream life example…
Most people don’t even achieve this traditional example, even globally speaking. So how does using the 4 macro step model laid out before cause one to predictably achieve this? Here is how…
2. Massive Action for Climbing Mountain even at High Cost, which leads to doing what it takes to breakthrough personal constraints & discover, then execute on quality strategies of achievement for one’s goals. The hell-bent mindset is absolutely crucial in being able to get one’s self to follow through on breaking through limits as well as continuously seeking out & implementing more effective solutions. With our specific case, this could mean things like begging for one-on-one professional help if need be as well as setting up a personal support system of friends or partners by offering value/friendship, all for overcoming the alcohol addiction, extreme fear of rejection, limited social skills, serious lack of diligence, obesity, lack of cash flow, lack of education. Also, coming to terms with the fact that presently uncontrollable realities such as past loss of limb or blindness simply don’t matter and have nothing to do with happily living your dream life. Then figuring out how to create the end results that one wants (relationship, family, career, friendships & experiences, etc). Going and talking to several people who have achieved what you want, reading books, consulting with professionals, and ultimately persistently implementing the strategy you believe in while continuously optimizing along the way. From this step, predictably comes…
3. Probability of Success for Climbing Mountain, because climbing the mountain is just overcoming one’s life conditions and stacking enough power for one’s self in the direction of their goals. As my Results Equation states: Results = Strategy + Action. With enough action on a solid strategy, the results you want become the natural probable outcome. However, for full disclosure, know that nothing is inherently guaranteed in life because the true high-level, general equation for what produces results is Results = Strategy x Action x Chance. We aren’t able to control life 100%, so the element of chance almost always comes into play as both a positive force and negative force on your results. But in most situations of general human life, we can put the odds in our favor with enough action on a solid strategy designed to continuously capitalize on opportunities and mitigate risk. Don’t worry about chance when the truth is that you can actually put the odds of success in your favor. Instead, accept it, engage it, optimize it through your strategy & action, and happily pursue your goals & mission in life. From this step, predictably comes…
4. Ability to Claim Your Custom Dream Life which means if you have put the odds of success in your favor, then sprint to the finish line, don’t stop. The end is in sight and momentum is on your side. It is harder for life to screw up the realization of your dream life than it is to just give it to you. This is the finally of your journey to securing your dream life, all you have to do is stay on track and you will surely win, because you have already put the odds of success on your side, pending your complete follow-through. However, if life were to knock you down again here, since you have maintained your indefinitely hell-bent mindset, you will just get back up and go succeed the next time. The ultimate key is your state of mind. Your dream life will always be worth the effort.
Will everyone who attempts this, successfully make the climb up the mountain and obtain their dream life within their human lifetime? No. The high-level reasons why simply lie in the three elements of my Results Equation (Results = Strategy x Action x Chance). Either someone miscalculated in strategy, didn’t implement on enough action according to their strategy, or chance came into play and killed the deal. However, do know that you personally are your ultimate leverage point and can either be a major asset or liability towards the results you get in life. So get out of your own way and start making much more progress than you ever have before.
If the ultimate key is your consistent mindset, then what do you have to do with that mindset? Well, the state of your mind is a complex thing that will probably never be fully tamed to an ideal. But it is in most everyone’s means to optimize it to a point of good enough. This doesn’t mean that you are constantly in an effective state of mind. The highest performers on Earth have bad days, weeks, months, years, decades even. The bottom-line is that you just need the right mindset that allows you to predictably take enough action in a tight enough timeframe, relative to your strategy & goals. An example may be that 20 hours of dedicated work per month for 8 years will likely yield your custom dream life, according to your strategy. Well, then you have to figure out what it is going to take with you, mindset wise, to predictably implement on that plan. Maybe you are already there. Maybe you need to take up a brand new lifestyle that establishes the mindset in you to predictably execute 1:1 as your strategy requires. Every situation is different, and ultimately it usually doesn’t take a ton of physical effort to obtain a dream life. But typically it will take a lot of mental effort in things like removing fears & limiting patterns from your psychology. That is why the bottom-line with mindset is to deeply carve the serious intention of making your dream life a reality into your psychology & identity. That way, you will naturally keep persisting, even in the face of pain & multiple failures.
So is that all one needs to do to obtain their dream life? Yes & No. Yes, from the high-level perspective. No, from the low-level perspective. This high-level framework does work and is the truth. However, specific life results come from specific life implementations. Typically, as complex as life can be, one needs to manage a lot of complexity and build their power on a very detailed level. This is why I continuously focus on many detailed issues of development & achievement within my personal life & website. Become a person comfortable with continuously, directly dealing with the internal plumbing of human achievement and never stop building & optimizing your life.
It is almost never too late in life to pursue one’s dream life. And as I mentioned before, simply, freely pursuing it may very well give you the fulfillment you desire, without even obtaining the dream life itself. I am committed to intensely pursuing my custom dream life for as long as I live. I could be a brittle old man who had done nothing but fail and I would still wake up every day with the strong intention of pursuing my dream life. Even if terminally ill, there is no guarantee that this conclusion will be one’s short-term reality. It is always better to pursue the best than to accept the worst in life.
So, when I say “Your dream life is waiting.” I really mean it. Don’t leave your dream life hanging, go and get it now!
