Marcia's Dream NoteDear <$firstname$>, Thank you for your cards, notes and emails about changing our name to Dream University. I so appreciate your kind words and congratulations. It’s a big step and it was time. I just lead our 10th Dream Coach Certification, having certified over 500 Dream Coaches worldwide. We’ve created a corporate version; a Christian version for our Group Leaders and along with Making Your Dreams Come True, the Process has been translated into Spanish. Next week I am off to Brazil and Australia so our work is making its way around the world. Whether you join us live for a Dream University class or not, if you are committed to making the world and your communities better places, you too have the heart of a Dream Coach®. Share Your Gifts,![]() Dreams vs. Goals And although I know and agree that goals are essential, there is a very different energy around dreams. And that’s what I am passionate about. Dreaming gets up to swing outside of just being realistic. At a certain point it is essential to move from dreams to goals, but if you go to goal setting and strategy too soon, you’ll probably compromise your dreams too soon down to what you know you can realistically accomplish. Dreams often allow for more creativity and imagination. If time and money weren’t issues, what would you do? If you had the support of the people around you to do what you truly want, what would that be? And, if you knew you could not fear, what would you pursue? Goals and projects have specific due dates. A dream that never becomes a goal often remains a fantasy or nice idea. But set goals based on what you know and you may limit yourself and possibilities. Dream first by getting your ideas, needs, wants, hopes and desires all down on paper. Put into your dreams everything that you want and leave out what you don’t want. Then break big or long term dreams down into projects that can easily be accomplished in one month or less. Why a month? It’s a long enough time to produce a real result but also short enough to keep your passion ignited. This is critical for accomplishing your dreams.

Dream Quote"Goals help accomplish dreams but start with your Dreams first." Dear Marcia,
I heard that you have bartered a speaking event for some time at a resort. What is the best way to go about that? What do I need to have prepared, or what will they ask for? I am a makeup artist, but I don't have a portfolio full of celebrities to present, or even any publications (yet!) to offer as examples of my work, so I am not sure they'd even be interested. Any advice would be great. J. Dear J, I am happy to say it’s true. I have bartered both spa vacations and cruises. It all begins by having a message that you imagine is aligned with what their audience want to hear. Yours is! I suggest creating a simple but professional marketing piece so if they ask for it, you have something to send them. Here’s a peek at mine: Click here to view. Contact the program or cruise director. They are always looking for great resources, so call with confidence and clarity and make it easy for them to say yes. Let me know what happens. Warmly, Need help? E-mail your questions. |
