One of the most influential business instructors I had in college once told me the difference between a dream and a goal.
A dream is something you think about, maybe over and over again as you fantasize about things, thinking what if? or, wouldn't it be nice?
A goal, on the other hand, is something you write down; you plan your life around goals and you strive to reach them. They are measurable and achievable.
