Marcia's Dream Notes

Those who are the most successful in achieving their dreams do not do it alone. When we share our dreams, passion, beliefs and resources, miracles occur.

People from around the world are joining My Dream Circle and I invite you to do the same. Amazing and generous dreamers are participating in inspiring and interactive (live and virtual) events, as we initiate new dreams and catapult forward on existing ones. We are forging a community with a common bond dedicated to helping each other realize our dreams. This is my mission.

Also, with your help, I may visit your city. If you can gather at least 100 people for an event, we can create a Dream Circle in your community. To explore this further, please e-mail me directly at Marcia@dreamcoach.com. I look forward to sharing our dreams!

The Power of A Dream Circle

A Dream Circle is a group of kindred spirits with the shared intention of helping each other achieve our dreams. The power of a community with a shared commitment is simple, potent and profound.

What do people find at My Dream Circle? New dreams, inspiration, love, business partners, investors, volunteers, answers, creative ideas, mentors, friends, and fellow dreamers. But beyond networking, educating, inspiring, coaching, challenging and celebrating, we do something more. During tough times-- those days when there is no evidence that your dream is possible, much less a good idea-- we are here to help.

When it comes to dreams, we all have good days and bad. Some days we don’t trust, some days we are distracted and forget our dreams, and some days when the doubters and dream killers (internally or externally) are so overwhelming, we want to quit. When that happens to me, I turn to My Dream Circle, to people who care and help me believe in my dreams and myself.

When our dreams begin to come true, we can dream even bigger. What would you do if you believed in yourself? What might you change if you believed in your dreams? And how would you alter your life if you knew people would stand by and help you to achieve your heart's desire? Having support on any dream-- even if you are in need of a new one-- is life-changing.

It has never been a more important time to have faith and dreams, and to prove that our dreams are important by pursuing them. The conversation about dreams will change from one of fear, uncertainty and doubt to one of hope and possibility as we dream out loud for all to hear. What a difference this will make in our personal lives and in the world.

Dream Quote

"To accomplish great things we must not only act but also dream, not only plan but also believe." - Anatole

Dear Marcia
I have a big dream! I would like to start a foundation for the less fortunate. Since developing my dream, I've had one individual who would like to donate $27.6 million to my foundation. Now that my dream is becoming a reality, it scares me. How do I overcome this state of fear so I don't keep from making my dream come true?

Thank you,
J.

Dear J.,

This is huge and so needed. You must already be speaking about it in such a powerful way for people to be so generously wanting to support your dream.
Since all big dreams begin with a single step, I recommend you:

1. Assemble a board of advisors so you are not doing this alone. Build your Dream Circle with people who share your values and complement your skills.

2. Seek out other organizations that are doing similar things and see how you can pool your ideas and resources.

3. Break the dream down into month long projects with measurable goals and take action daily.

Every person who receives help from your foundation will add to the healing of the world. I commend your courage and encourage you to take an important and serious step on this dream today.

Love,
Marcia
