I. WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR DREAMS?
Are You Living Your Dreams?
If the answer is no, then ask yourself "why not"? Life is short. Do you
really want to say that you lived a life of unfulfilled dreams?
But "hold it!" you say. "I'm waiting for the perfect time" or "I'm waiting
for the perfect situation". Or, maybe it's not that you are "waiting" per
se, but rather that you are afraid.
So, what are you afraid of? Are you afraid of making a mistake? Afraid of
making the wrong choice? Are you afraid that you may not be good enough, or
that the people around you might laugh at your dreams, or won't support you?
Are your fears enough to stop you?
And, what happens if you do end up living your dreams? Are you afraid that
once you get there then you'll have to live them? Meaning that what you've
been talking about for so long will now come to fruition, and still, you
might actually be happy?
But, when you look back at your life, what do you want it to be about? Do
you want to say, "I could have" or "I did"? The choice is yours.
So, what do you say? You only have one life to live, so it might as well be a life you love!
I just published a new book that can help you discover your ultimate career. It's a combination of what I have learned to find my dream career combined with real life examples of those individuals who have found theirs. The book is extremely interactive and it helps you find your answers from within. The book was a big goal for me in 2003 and I am glad to say that I did it!
Here's What's Inside The Book:
* How to locate your dream career
* How to find inner clarity and direction
* How fear can be used to your advantage
* How to create an action plan that gets results
* How to obtain your ultimate profession
While most career books concentrate on the logistics of finding the perfect career, this book focuses on uncovering what you were meant to do with your career from you. I hope you enjoy it.

II. SEVEN STEPS FOR FINDING YOUR DREAMS AGAIN
So, How do you move past your fears and live your dreams? Follow these easy
steps:
1. Remember That You Are Worthy Of Your Dreams:
You deserve to live your dreams. Recognizing this is the hardest and most
necessary step. Most of us think that only other people get to live their
dreams. Only other people are lucky enough, not us. We do not deserve to
because of all the bad stuff we have done in our lives. The only thing these
thoughts do is keep you from moving forward and being happy.
2. Remember That Your Dreams Are Important:
Once you know how important living your dreams is to your health and mental
well being, then you can bring your dreams back into your life. The only way
to live your dreams is to make them a priority. Without this focus, they
cannot become a reality.
3. Remember That You Forgot Them:
Start by taking out a piece of paper and writing down your dreams. Remember
what they were, and how excited you used to be when you thought about them.
It might be difficult at first, but once you get started, you dreams will
come back to you.
4. Remember To Push Past Fear:
Every time you move past the normal emotion of fear you make yourself
stronger for the next obstacle. So next time you feel fearful, gather up
your courage and move past it, like a warrior in the battle field. Everyone
feels fear, it's what you do when you are afraid that matters.
5. Remember That You Cannot Live Your Dreams Alone:
Part of living your dreams is having someone to share them with. Do you ask
for help, or do you handle everything on your own? I bet there are people
who want to contribute and help you along the way but you will not let them
in. Ask for support and let them in. It's OK to ask for help.
6. Remember That Action Is What Propels You Forward:
Your life is moving forward whether you are working towards your dreams or
not. So, wouldn't it be better to take one action each day that will get you
closer? It could be as simple as making a phone call, sending an e-mail, or
doing some research on the Internet. Dreams are attained in little steps.
Why not take some of those steps to move yourself forward today?
7. Remember Not To Give Up:
Perseverance always wins out in the end. You cannot get to the finish line
unless you play the game. Hanging tough through the difficult times is what
gets you to the goal. So, do not give up!
Note: I have a new coaching book that is listed on amazon.com. It is called "Four Steps To Building A Profitable Coaching Practice: A Complete Marketing Resource Guide For Coaches." You can find the book at: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0595296602/surpassyourdr-20
The book includes my twelve years corporate marketing experience and combines it with my five years marketing experience as a coach. I hope you enjoy the book and it makes a difference in your practice. I know the techniques made a difference in mine. Look out for my four-week teleclass series that begins in March that will walk you through the concepts and strategies discussed in this book.

THIS MONTH: DO YOU BELIEVE THAT LIVING YOUR DREAMS IS POSSIBLE?
I know as a coach, it is sometimes easier to give advice to others than to
give advice to ourselves. When we speak with people, it is clear to us what
they need to do to progress. Not only can we see it, but we can also
articulate it ways that can have them move forward quickly.
But what about your life? Do you believe that it is possible for you to
soar? Doubts about yourself come across to both present and future clients.
They know when they are being told that they can live their dreams by
someone who wishes they were, versus someone who already is. They know when
they are being sold a bill of goods. So, they will either not hire you, or
slowly go away.
So what can you do? Reach for the stars! Tackle whatever is in your way, so
you can help your clients do the same. Yes, this is scary, and at times you
may not know where to begin. But the rewards are unrecognizable lives for
both you and your clients.
