Use your bedtime to revisit your dreams

My first job interview?

 

My original dream of becoming a world-class copywriter in an advertising agency never went away. Instead, it evolved from copywriting in my own advertising agency where I’d be selling products and services, to copywriting in my own career-coaching practice, where I help people build up the skills they need to sell themselves.

I believe in the potential behind people more than I could ever believe in the benefits of products or services.

I encourage you to connect the dots the next time you read a book to your child. Consider it a sign to revisit your original dream, then take a leap to make your aspirations loud and clear. Don’t be afraid of getting on a ledge for those dreams. Whatever you do, those aspirations will poke their heads in your life from time to time. When your chance arrives, take off your blinders and don’t miss the opportunity. And for goodness’ sake, let yourself finally drive that bus!

Questions:

1. Dreaming is risky. Write down how you plan on ignoring your inner voice and self-doubts.

2. Why is your dream important? Put your “why” on a post-it note and carry it around with you.
