What do you dream about?
Do you have a dream tucked inside your heart? Of course you do. The real question is, do you have enough courage to let that dream come out and play?
Maybe you think about traveling the world? Do you ever think about running your own business? Or getting paid to do what you love and helping others?
I had those dreams too. While I am living my ideal life and doing work I love today, it hasn’t always been the case.
When my doctor diagnosed me with clinical depression in 2009, I hit a rock bottom. I wasn’t happy, mainly because of the career path I was on. Advertising wasn’t what I thought it would be and I felt stuck in a soul-sucking job.
I decided to take a risk and reinvent my life, and I walked away from everything I knew to follow my heart and become a writer.
At the time, I had no idea what an impact that decision would make. But it was life changing.
I’ve created a thriving wellness community, celebrating three Amazon best-selling books, and built an award-winning business and blog that allows me to travel and work from anywhere, and help others while also supporting those I love. I am incredible grateful everyday.
You may be on the verge of your own life change. If so, I hope my story gives you courage to step out of your comfort zone and let that dreamer come out to play.
What I wish someone told me starting out is your dreams matter.
While I have a successful business today, I didn’t always.
The first few years I struggled immensely. I felt like no one cared about what I had to say, I didn’t think I was making a difference. I feared that I was off track somehow; I remember feeling incredibly scared, overwhelmed and completely alone.
I wanted so badly to know what to do, and in what order. I had so much passion and a message to share but didn’t have the right tools to put it all into play.
That is until I started working with Marie Forleo. If you don’t know who Marie is, Oprah named her “next generational thought leader,” and she has an award-winning YouTube series where she teaches you how to create a business and life you love.
Marie personally taught me smart ways to run my online business, once I implemented her training, things radically changed for me. I landed my first book deal with a major publisher, I moved to Hawaii for three months to write my book, and my life coaching practice exploded, not to mention Mind Body Green named me Top 100 Women to Watch in Wellness and I became a regular blogger for entrepreneur.com and Huffington Post.
I share all of this because; these were big dreams of mine and I know you have a dream tucked inside your heart too.
What do you daydream about?
Do you want to leave corporate and follow your heart to travel and write? Do you want to be a life coach, a published book author, a graphic designer or are you passionate about making jewelry or furniture, or maybe you want to teach others how to de-clutter?
Whether you’re just starting out or already have an established business, there’s a huge opportunity waiting for you. My business coach, Marie just released the first in a series of FREE training videos. (This is where it all started for me!).
Do yourself a giant favor, watch this free video, just press play, dive in, have fun, and let your dreamer come out to play.
You’ll learn the 3 things your website must have, how to grow your mailing list and web traffic like wildfire, and the key to creating products that practically sell themselves.
Let Marie teach you what she’s taught me and thousands of entrepreneurs.
XO and big hugs,
Shannon
