My friend and colleague, Debbi Dachinger, is a dreamer. Not the kind that stares out the window and says, “Some day, I’ll….” Nope. Debbi puts both wings and feet to her dreams. She writes them down and then does what it takes to make them come true. Big or small, she does them all!
Just this week, her new book, Dare To Dream: A Secret Guide to Making your Dreams a Reality, hit Number One in Amazon. Congratulations Deb!
Dreamers and leaders are a lot alike. A true leader, like a dreamer, inspires, nurtures, and creates an environment for their goals to be realized. This includes systems and support for their dreams/goals to thrive. The bigger the dream, the larger the network needed to make it a reality. Big dreams need lots of help! Deb has given us the perfect guide to help us cross our own personal finish line!
Debbi enlisted her friends, colleagues and those with a similar vision. They stepped up to the plate and helped her cross the finish line from dream to best seller. A dream without action is nothing. A dream with a solid foundation leaves a legacy. Big dream making is not a solo event.
Deb teaches us a lot about completion. Her syndicated radio show, “Dare to Dream” airs worldwide from Wednesday – Sunday and features thought leaders and celebrities alike. This award winning syndicated program attracts more than a million listeners — all because she decided to start a radio show! This is a woman with a mission to change the world doing what she loves best! Week in and week out, she does what it takes to continue growing her dream and influence.
Want to write a book? Start a business? Go back to school? Your willingness to get started will provide the ability to do. Finish the step in front of you and the next will appear. So will the energy. So will your support team. How? You don’t always need to know. Things show up when you are ready for them!
Learn from those who succeed, those who have something to teach you, and balance that against your dream and inner wisdom. Do the inner work necessary to move beyond your inner critic into action. Learn, honor and accept that your dream has a life of its own. Your job is to nurture it to completion.
Life is fragile. Dare to slow down enough to let your dreams take shape. Take the steps that will slowly and surely open the doors for success to appear.
No dream is too small to be ignored. Where would we be if Martin Luther King, Bill Gates or Oprah had put their dreams on hold? Maybe it’s time for you to write yours down, and start making it a reality. We’re waiting…
