Turning dreams into reality

I wanted to take a few minutes today writing about something I think we can all relate to: turning our dreams into reality. I came across this quote by Tony Robbins, and it really resonated with me:

"If you talk about it, it's a dream. If you envision it, it's possible. But if you schedule it, it's real."

Let’s break this down and look at how it applies to us as beauty therapists and business owners.

?1. If you talk about it, it’s a dream

How many times have you said, “One day, I’ll offer that advanced skin treatment,”

or, “I’d love to expand my client base or try a membership programme”?

It’s exciting to dream, and dreaming is where it all begins.

But let’s be honest; dreaming without action is like staying at the starting line of a race. We can talk about our dreams forever, but unless we move beyond this stage, they’ll stay just that: dreams.

2. If you envision it, it’s possible

The next step is envisioning your dream.

What does it look like?

What does success feel like?

For example, if you’re dreaming of offering a new treatment, picture your clients booking appointments, your diary filling up, and the impact it has on their confidence.

Envisioning makes it feel real and starts to plant the seeds of action. You can now ask yourself:

• What training do I need?
• What equipment or products will I need to invest in?
• How will this benefit my clients and my business?

When you start envisioning, you move from just dreaming to making things possible.

?3. But if you schedule it, it’s real

Here’s where the magic happens.

Scheduling is what turns a dream into reality.

Let’s say you want to grow your business by offering premium facial treatments or chemical peels.

Talking about it is one thing, but the minute you book that training or schedule time to plan, you’ve taken the first real step.

Scheduling creates accountability. It’s saying, “This is important, and I’m committing to it.”

Why This Matters for Beauty Therapists

As beauty therapists, we’re often so busy with day-to-day client work that we put our dreams on the back burner. But remember, your business grows when you do.

Here’s a quick exercise to help you apply this quote today:

Think of one dream you’ve been talking about for ages. Maybe it’s launching a membership programme, getting qualified in a new treatment, or even restructuring your hours to work smarter, not harder.

Visualise how it would feel to make that happen. Imagine the benefits to your clients, your business, and yourself.

Now, schedule it. What’s one small action you can take this week to move closer to that goal? It could be booking a training, setting aside time to plan, or even just researching your options.

Closing Thoughts

Remember, as beauty professionals, we have the power to transform not just our clients’ lives but our own.

It starts with taking the dreams we talk about and turning them into realities by envisioning and, most importantly, scheduling.

I’d love to hear from you - what’s one dream you’ve been holding onto that you’re ready to take action on?
