Building My Big Vision - Here’s How

It’s Sunday and I’m writing this extra weekend email with my own *unrealistic* plan on how to change your life, get closer to your big vision, and stay on top of your energy - even when you physically can’t. Why am I doing this? To show you the messy, in-between phase and to prove that we are capable of achieving absolutely ANYTHING we want.

My own big vision is honestly crazy, and most of you reading this will probably say, “Yeah, haha, what a dreamer.” I’ll share it at the end of this newsletter.

But YES - I am a dreamer, because in the past I’ve reached all of my unrealistically crazy goals exactly in the timeframe I wanted (building a new life as an immigrant from scratch, with no money, becoming a full-time artist and designer, getting citizenship, living in my dream apartments, etc.).

The only difference now is that we all have more experience the further we get in life. So, whatever your age or circumstances - see them as your benefit.

Ready to dive into my roadmap to achieving your big vision? Me too. Let’s gooooo!

1. You have to KNOW you’re already living your big vision.

You need to live it in your mind daily so your body and energy start reacting as if it’s real.
This is not spiritual fluff (hopefully no one thinks so!).
Before this mindset shift, I was hustling non-stop (read my unfiltered story here), burning myself out to the bone to the point where I almost quit everything and moved back to my parents to start fresh without the burden of my past identity.

But quitting is never an option. Pivoting is. And this mindset shift will be your pivot.

Hustling and forcing things only push your dream life further away.

This took me weeks, and it won’t happen overnight. You need to train your brain every single day - get it out of survival mode and that old comfort zone.

It’s all an illusion anyway.

Start seeing your dream as if you’re already living it.

2. Write down EXACTLY what you want.

Crystal clear.

Not “I want to start my own business” or “I want to be an artist.” No, no - DETAILS!

My big vision includes:
A cover feature in The New Yorker
Hosting exhibits at MoMA
Becoming a worldwide public speaker on achieving your creative potential
Having my art on the window displays of Bergdorf & Goodman
Organizing creative retreats in the South of France

See the difference? Details.

Not “I want to speak on stages” - where, why, what message?

Be as “unrealistic” and BIG as possible. Don’t shrink your dream because it feels impractical. It took me MONTHS to fully accept mine and believe, with my whole soul, that it’s already mine.

3. Take DAILY, uncomfortable, aligned action.

We don’t sit around and “manifest.”

We show up, consistently, even when no one claps.

For me: daily drawing, daily videos (real ones - not those perfectly edited cinematic ones because I’m not trying to be a filmmaker).

It’s about priorities.

And yes, we DO have time.
I had to remind myself how long I spend on TikTok watching Labrador videos 🐶 (yep, I ADORE dogs!).
HOURS.

So I ABSOLUTELY have time - I just need to change how I use it.

4. Add-ons (a.k.a. your personal success system)

Prepare these and keep them with you at all times:

🔸 Your daily vision declaration
🔸 Your personal success system (reprogramming & execution):

You want to replace old patterns with new ones. Example:

OLD: I need to paint truly unique art pieces on canvas or paper to call myself an artist.
NEW: Art is about VISION, not medium. David Hockney created masterpieces on his iPad.

OLD: I always quit and go back to my comfort zone after trying something new for 5 days.
NEW: Every day, I build the habit of persistence. I show up consistently for my future self, no matter what.

✅ Productivity hack:

Shift to a CEO mindset:
Every morning, write down ONLY three must-do tasks.
No distractions. No endless to-do lists.

Your focus:

1. High-value outreach
2. High-visibility content
3. Revenue-generating work

⏳ Timeline: You’ll feel instant relief and see a shift within 1 - 2 weeks.

P.S. I actually created all of this with ChatGPT - my thoughts were a mess, and it helped me organize everything. I’m now thinking about creating a masterclass on how to use AI to structure and build your dream life.

Seriously, it’s like having an extra brain!

🌿 And one more thing:
Write a letter to your future self.
You are your BIGGEST supporter.

No one else can carry your vision the way you can.

That’s it!
This is my personal roadmap to achieving my big vision.

I’m starting today - and I’ll soon publish a raw, real YouTube video about this transition (without caring what others think).

Remember: the people who try to drag you down are the ones who gave up on themselves.

You are right where you need to be.
And you’re part of this ASDB world with me for a reason.

LET’S DO THIS!!!

And I’d love to hear YOUR big vision too! I’ve shared mine with tens of thousands - now it’s your turn.

Enjoy your Sunday! 🌞
