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!

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?

Scanner Daybook

I've started my Scanner Daybook, as Barbara Sher's I Could Do Anything... if I Just Knew What it Was challenged me to.  Although I already knew that I was what she considered a Scanner, my daybook really proves it.  I'm interested in so many things, and just getting them into a book seems to take a load off my mind.  It helps me concentrate.  It's a pretty drawing pad, with the word Dreams inscribed on the front cover.  I figure that's very apropos.

So many of the ideas I have, I have no intention of bringing to completion.  Maybe one of my clients will, at some point.  I love the idea that they may see the light of day, and I could gauge the success of the idea by someone else's bringing it to light.  I don't have to do it all, I just think of it.  I'm the Idea Lady.  :)

Do you have a Scanner Daybook?  What's in yours?
