One of the things I remember the most about being a child is that I had lots of dreams. It wasn’t even something that I thought about much, I just did it! I’d be staring out the window at school dreaming of what I was going to do in the afternoon once school was finished, swimming, riding my horse - or travelling in the car I’d be imagining myself on horse-back jumping the fences and hedges we were passing. I dreamt of being a vet or working in a zoo! As I got older however, I’d get caught staring out the school window and be told to stop! In my school reports teachers would say things like “If Katrina applied herself to her studies as much as she stared out the window she would achieve great results”!! I chuckle now!!
Over time my dreaming stopped and was replaced with ‘reality’. The place where we live when we are getting by in life, living day by day or week by week, and not thinking too much about the present or the future because we would then be faced with the knowledge that we’re not living up to our true potential.
Until one day… Something – and it’s different for all of us – but it goes along the lines of “That’s IT!! I’m not living this way ANYMORE” And we begin a search, we begin to search for a SOLUTION. A search that takes us back to the place of dreams, leads to the place of hopes and excitement and to a place, where if we truly allow ourselves to dream our big dreams we can begin to turn them into a way of living our life by design.
I’ve had that moment, the one where I went – “That’s it, I’ve had it, I’m sick of living this way and I want more out of my life” I began my search and the solution came to me in the form of an email from a friend! I looked at her website and I KNEW – I just KNEW that this was it, my searching was over and I had found the vehicle that would bring my dreams to life.
And, oh boy, have I had some of my dreams come true since I got started in my own business with this awesome company and I’m so, so excited by what I know I can achieve in the years to come as well – it blows me away. I pinch myself and sometimes am on the brink of tears because I’ve found the place where I can be ME, I can dream – and work at those dreams and know how to create the life for myself and my family that I always wanted.
Welcome to being an entreprenuer, the place where YOU decide that your dreams can and WILL come true!
