Victoria, TX Dream Team Forming Now

View Larger Map

The FIRST EVER Victoria, Texas Dream Team is forming now.  We are looking for 4-5 people located in the general area to join.

As this is the first local group, and I intend to be a member as well as the facilitator, the usual low cost of this DREAM TEAM is waived!  There will be no monthly charge for this team, or for my expertise leading it.

Do you want to live the life of your dreams?  Maybe you have a clearly defined idea, but are unsure about how to get past the obstacles you see in your way (the most popular obstacle - and often the easiest to solve - is money).  Maybe you don't even know what your dream life is, you just feel unsettled, restless, like there's something more to life than what you're living.  Your dream can be personal or professional.  We're happy to help you find friends or a traveling companion, or help you take your business to the next level.  As long as you can brainstorm ways to help others find and get their dream lives, we can help you, too.  

Cost:  $0

Commitment:  1 day per week for three months minimum

Needed:   The desire to reach your dreams, and a willingness to brainstorm with other members of the group to reach their dreams, too.

How to join:  email me at kimberlyearley 'at' yahoo 'dot' com.  Be sure to tell me your area of town (or town, if you're in the surrounding area).  If you know what your dream/obstacle is, let me know.  If not, no problem!  Let me know what days/times you are available to meet (assuming that our meeting place is in Victoria).

I look forward to discovering our dream lives together!

Delivering Happiness - the movement

I went to the library last week, and got several books on my current passions.  One that I got was Delivering Happiness:  A Path to Profits, Passion, and Purpose by Tony Hsieh.  The book is part how he became a self-made millionaire (along with the mistakes along the way), part encouragement to follow your passions, and part how to live your life to be happy.  The last is what I was most interested in, but the book was thoroughly entertaining and quite educational.

I remember hearing when I was a young adult from a wise woman that happiness was for children.  I had a child of my own, and I needed to understand that I needed to buckle down and join the adult world.  That very wise woman was right in many aspects... I was still very childish, and I knew that my dreams needed to be put away for a while so that I could earn a living and support my fledgling family.  But she was also wrong.  I didn't know it then, and am just learning it now.  It is possible to have dreams and follow them responsibly.  Happiness is not a pipe dream for children.  It's something we as adults can do every day.

The second badge above, from Ralph Waldo Emerson, hung in the bathroom my sister and I shared as a child.  It continues to hang in my bathroom today.  They are the truest words ever spoken, and something I've at least attempted to live my life by.  "For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness." - Ralph Waldo Emerson.

If you agree, and you'd like to join in making the world a happier place, click one of the badges above.  It will take you to the website.  See what you can do.  Read inspiring stories from others around the globe.  And most of all, remember that anything and everything you can do starts with you first.

"We either make ourselves miserable or we make ourselves strong.  The amount of work is the same." - Carlos Castaneda.

One more quote from the book that has resonated with me is, "Life isn't about finding yourself.  Life is about creating yourself." - George Bernard Shaw.

I can't say it any better today.  Off to explore more on the site.  :)

Books I Love

These are my all-time favorite books (for now).  :)

Barbara Sher's Teamworks! on the left, Barbara Sher's I Could Do Anything If I Just Knew What It Was, Barbara Winter's Making a Living Without a Job, and Barbara Sher's Wishcraft.  Any of these books (except possibly Teamworks! which is now out of print) can be purchased from Amazon.com by clicking on the book in the carousel below, if you're interested in reading them for yourself.

They are the inspiration for my Dream Teams, and we rely heavily on Teamworks!, Wishcraft, and Making a Living Without a Job with our teams.  It was these books, along with a few others, that solidified my desire to create the Dream Teams, along with my coaching practice.

If you have ever seen my LinkedIn profile, you will see that my professional/business experience has really run the gamut.  While I enjoyed certain aspects of nearly every job I've ever had, I knew that each one wasn't a particularly good fit for me.  I enjoy working with start-ups from the idea forward, and I enjoy checking on their progress, offering help here and there when they need it.  But the day-to-day functioning of a business is not for me (other than my own).  But for me, the most fun is the idea phase... which led to my creating Dream Teams.  Seeing someone light up when they realize what it is they want to do is the second best part of my "job".  The first place moment is when I see their dream come true... when the doors to the coffee shop opens, or they leave for their trip across America (or overseas).

What's your dream?

Thought of the day...

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

Mark Twain

Another one of my favorites...  What will you dream today?

I love stories like this one!  I love seeing them in national news.  I love knowing that I'm in a position to where I can help someone write their own story like this... and that I'm writing my own.

Did you notice that she credited her success at least partially to her Mastermind group?  That's a Dream Team!  Ready to start writing your story, living your dream life?  Contact me today!

Thought of the day...

“So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable.”

Christopher Reeve

So many of these quotes about making your own dream life happen really resonate with me. It's more than I think I can, but also as basic and simple as that.  If you dream it, believe in it, and make the effort to get to it, you can do it.

Thought of the day...

"Until you are committed, there is hesitancy... Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it.  Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.  Begin it now." - Goethe
