Marcia's Dream Note

Dear Fellow Dreamers,

How can our relationships help us achieve our dreams? It has to do with how we share our dreams and in this issue I will teach you a powerful process for doing just that. But it's also who we share our dreams with that counts. If you'd like my assistance, I promise to help you achieve your dreams. Join me LIVE at a Create Your Future Now Dream Weekend in San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Baltimore or Boston…or for a real dream come true, how about for a week in Maui? Isn't it time?

Dream Big,

Creating Dream Relationships

The shortcut step for achieving any dream is "share your dreams with others." But it's how we do it that will enroll others or leave them uninspired. We build powerful relationships with others by expressing our dream clearly so they understand what it is – and passionately – so they are excited about what we are doing. And then, take the crucial step of inviting them to join you.

When people hear me say this they ask, "How do I do that?" Become masterful at enrollment. Enrollment, unlike sales, is your ability to share your ideas in such a way that the listener wants to be part of what you are doing. Here's a simple four-step process. Practice and learn this, and your ability to manifest your dreams will sky rocket.

First, establish rapport. This creates trust and puts people at ease. Second, build value. Do this by asking questions, being genuinely interested and "meeting" them where they are. Third, overcome objections or obstacles (often by going back to points 1 and 2.) Finally, secure an agreement. This could be to meet, have a follow-up call, or signing on the dotted line.

If I had a choice of being a brilliant strategist or the "Enrollment Queen," I'd choose the latter. Enrollment is by far the most essential tool for building your team and great relationships because you'll use it in every area of life. Our personal relationships are precious and essential, but with the exclusion of your family, just about everyone else was once a stranger. Imagine how your life might change if you could talk to anyone, anytime about your dreams (or theirs) in a way that was transformational. Well, you can. Try it today.

Dream Quote

"Never doubt that a small group of committed individuals can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."
~ Margaret Mead

Dear Marcia,

I'm in my second half of life and healthy. My dream is to move to southern Italy and live La Dolce Vita, the Sweet Life. I want to eat when I'm hungry, sleep when I'm tired, paint a little and take long walks to nowhere. My kids think I've gone mad. What do you think?

Dear C-

Find your own rhythm and don't let other people's fear or doubt stop you. Life is short at any age. In the end what will matter is that you lived your life. You can always come back if you choose, or they can come visit you, but ask them to leave their "doubters" at home. Please send postcards.

Ciao, M
