Are You Be-Ing? - Eva Gregory

Remember when you were young and played “pretend”? You could be anything that you wanted to be, there were no boundaries or obstacles. Do you recall the fun that you had being free to decide your path? It was fun wasn’t it? If so, why did you stop? Perhaps because it was time to “grow up” and be responsible? How limiting! Guess what, now’s the time to begin embracing your childhood again.


Is “Earning a Living” Stopping You? - Stacey Mayo

Every year, people resolve that this year will be different: “This will be the year that I write that book, start that new venture, double my income, take more time off to spend with my family,” and the list goes on and on. However, when people think about pursuing their dreams, they often squash the idea because it doesn’t seem practical. Does this sound familiar? After supporting thousands of people across the globe in making their personal and professional dreams a reality, I have found the following strategies to be most effective.


“Oblocks” to Living Out Your Dreams - Stacey Mayo

What stops you from living out your dreams? Over the years, I have coached thousands of people in living out their dreams and have heard at least as many reasons why people don’t believe they can make them happen.

Where are You Dabbling and Where are You Committed? - Stacey Mayo

Sometimes when I have a new idea, I jump in head first .... Sometimes I let it percolate a bit before deciding to go forward ... and sometimes I dabble in it - trying a little here and a little there - seeing how people respond - does this have legs - what will happen if I do this? All of that is fine and the truth is, the idea or program or project or business never gets very far if all I do is dabble.

Down Economy? What Down Economy? - Eva Gregory

We are constantly inundated about our "down" economy so it is not surprising that so many people are relating to the world right now as scary and unsettled, causing them in reaction to hold tightly to their resources, which only perpetuates the concerns with the economy.

Next Destination: Your Life - Eva Gregory

Stephen R. Covey states in his book "7 Habits of Highly Effective People" that you must begin with the end in mind. What does that mean? It means that you must first establish a goal or a dream. Once you have this goal, you must envision yourself existing in that goal in the future. You must be able to see, feel, hear, taste, and smell it.
