By Deidrea Kiesling - Transformational Coach of The Dream Academy
After nearly 30 years in corporate America and leaving five different times to start my own business, I know what it takes to create a vision for your life and business and then make it happen. I know that every woman has a unique soul print and purpose for their one precious life, and when women boldly ask themselves this one powerful question, “What would you love?”, it unleashes the power within her.
I am the Founder & CEO of The Dream Academy and host of The Success Minded Woman podcast, and I am on a mission to empower women to create lives they absolutely love living.
Regardless of where you are on your journey, regardless of the challenges or the years that have passed, it is never too late to design a life that you know you were meant to live.
Your DREAMS MATTER and SO DO YOU!
It all starts with a VISION.
Join me for the free online Power of Vision Workshop (held monthly) where you will design the life you would love living and learn the three keys to accelerate your results.
As a sought-after speaker, trainer, and mindset expert, I have offered workshops to organizations around the country.
Whether it’s a short 10-minute talk, a “Lunch & Learn” training, a motivating keynote speech, or an afternoon workshop – your group, organization, or company will be ignited by this training, and they will “THANK YOU” for bringing Deidrea to them.
It all starts with a vision, but most people don’t have a clear picture of what they would love. The best way to get clarity and create your “dream come true” life is to notice your longings and your discontent. What would you prefer to have less of?
These are the signs and signals for growth, and we need both of them.
“We are often pushed by pain until we are pulled by a vision,” said Rev. Dr. Michael Beckwith.
In order for you to create a life and business you love, to create new results in your life, the first step is to notice what you are noticing. What are you thinking about? What areas of your life are you happy with? And what area of your life would you like different results?
We are always creating results in our life in the four domains of life:
Health and Well-being
Love and Relationships
Vocation and Creative Expression
Time and Money Freedom
And most people just accept the life they have, living life by default, taking life as it comes but highly successful people DESIGN their life and then take the actions to create it.
It all starts by asking yourself this one powerful question, What would you LOVE?
Not what do you want, what do you think you should do, what are you good at, or what other people think you should do, but what would you LOVE?
When you honestly and bravely answer this question for yourself, your life begins to expand into possibility and that you never could have imagined. All sorts of things will come your way, people you meet, ideas that come to you, inspired action steps that you take.
The important thing is to answer this question for yourself boldly without knowing HOW you are going to do it.
Put the how on hold and dream big. Your dreams, your future, your longings are calling you to step fully into the powerful co-creator that God designed you to be.
What would you love?
What if you could?
What if it was easy?
If you can dream it, you really can create it, but you must have a clear vision of what you would love.
Howard Thurman said, “Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”
Befriend Your Fear To Achieve Your Dreams
The #1 skill that highly successful people have is that they befriend their fear, and that is what you must do to achieve your dreams and goals.
And you do this by noticing when you are feeling fear. When a part of you wants to go forward and a part of you wants to play small, STOP, and move your attention. Literally say to yourself out loud or silently, “Not today, fear!” And then move your attention to an empowering thought that will fuel your actions to create the results you would love. Here are some of my favorite life-changing phrases.
“This is what it looks like when it’s all coming together.”
“Everything is always working out for me.”
“This is just the gravitational pull of the familiar.”
What you say to yourself, what you say about yourself, and the thoughts and feelings you are experiencing at any moment throughout the day are either expansive or contracted. When you are feeling fear, you are feeling contracted, and you want to move your attention and your energy to expansion as quickly as possible.
Fear shows up in very tricky ways, so you must be diligent in noticing when it comes up. It might look like doubt, worry, confusion, overwhelm, procrastination, perfectionism, people pleasing, etc. But you can befriend your fear while acknowledge that it’s always going to be there. It’s a sign that you are growing, moving out of your comfort zone, and creating the life and business of your dreams.
you can dream it, you really can create it, never mind HOW it will all come together.
