WHERE IS YOUR DREAM-BOARD?

Welcome back DreaMakers,

As you may have noticed, DreaMakers has been on sabbatical. As the owner of this great consulting business, I have been MAKING DREAMS HAPPEN for myself. I have recently enrolled back in to school, attending UNC Greensboro. I can't tell you how excited I am to put a CHECK next to that on my Dream-Board. I also began a new style of living which includes better environment, healthy foods, exercise and most importantly dedicated spiritual time with God. I call this (SMEP), and it's been great! All of these things were already on my personal Dream-Board listed under, 2012 HEALTHY. So the question of the day is, "Where Is Your Dream-Board?" Life without execution of a Dream-Board is pointless!

If you are not working towards a goal, a plan, or something, "which is ultimately your dreams", then what are you doing. Are you aimlessly going around in circles? Mentally and physically exhausted, and not in the best of health? Head is spinning because everyone else’s crazy has got you in a tizzy? If yes, then you are in a cat5 (dcit) situation; can anyone say, "dog chasing its tail". Or maybe it's cat6 (dsed), "insanity"!; doing the same thing expecting a different result. How did you end up in this category? Why did you let this happen? What's the point?! Where is your Dream-Board? Some people say, "I don't have a Dream-Board per say, but I have a planner." Others say, I am good at making lists, sticky notes or the infamous, I don't need a board, and “it's all in my head!" My observation has been, the Dream-board has beaten them all in effectiveness. If you are not looking at your dreams and them looking back at you every day, how do you stay focus? Life is coming at us all so fast, bouldering new obstacles, an invasion of negligence from loved ones and friends, not to mention the mistakes you stumble upon. Where is your Dream-Board! When you wake up, "BAM!" on the wall there it should be or in your bathroom while brushing your teeth "WAP!" there it should be, or maybe it's in the kitchen or office "POW!", there it should be. Somewhere that you frequent, look, step, ponder or spend anytime should have your DREAMS VISUABLE, for you to see. The dynamics of life will always come with new things for you to focus on and try and keep you in one of those categories. I dare you to try it, and if you haven't been dreaming at all I dare you too start.

Go to your "secret place", and close your eyes in quiet, and began to think of what's important to you. GET OUT of your head everyone else’s needs, wants and plans; and you will find, “IT’S AMAZINGLY REFRESHING!” When creating my list of healthy goals I broke them down, which helped me tremendously. As I stated earlier, SMEP stands for (Spiritual, Mental, Emotional and Physical) needs; as I started making changes in these areas it has been like, breathing for the first time. This of course is a life’s journey of change and discovery, but daily you focus and work on these dreams, and daily you will achieve inroads to all of them. Often in life we are consumed with worry, problems, and tirelessly other people's stuff. This keeps your SMEP in oppression and depression. Now you can understand the need for a sabbatical.

After taking that much needed time of peace and tranquility, it has helped us focus on our needs (which must come first), goals and ideas both personally and professionally. As you can tell by now, I am a DreaMaker, and always will be. As DreaMakers LLC evolves, get your board together and change with us. When you check things off, new thing will come and new things will go; it's a living, breathing movement of your life. Why begin doing anything without one? I'm off to add new things to the board; this is exciting. I can't wait to see what else I can achieve. So DreaMaker, "Where Is Your Dream-Board?"

WHATEVER YOU DO MAKE SURE IT'S MUTUALLY BENEFICAL

Hello and Welcome to our DreaMakers LLC Blog.  DreaMakers LLC helps to promote People, Programs and Publications.

PEOPLE - DreaMakers LLC encourage peoples' Dreams, Goals and Ideas.  Giving them a platform in which to begin and connections that will help them build their business and or idea.

PROGRAMS - DreaMakers LLC creates programs that benefit the development and education of Women, Youth and Teens.  We have used Dream Drama for the youth, teaching 1st-5th graders how to use Drama as a tool to build self esteem, confidence and the ability to speak before an audience.  We also offered last year Dream 3-D which is a program that highlights a rising College Freshman academic obstacles and achievements and rewards them with some real life interactions with professionals in the field that they are pursuing.

PUBLICATIONS - DreaMakers LLC will produce publications such as a resource guide of local businesses, industry focused magazines and books that will engage and encourage others to make a difference at home and in their city and local community. 

During these uncertain economic times, Gen X and Y are trying to reinvent, startup and even revolutionize products and services for the future.  Working for a large corporation is no longer a driving force among these two generations.  I just learned that 3 female CEO's under the age of 30 have launched their new companies and in record time are seeing amazing returns. 

So many people that I've talked to this week here locally in the Triad, have given me nuggets of truths that I know, but had not quite comprehended.  The main thing that I heard and can't seem to forget is, "WHATEVER YOU DO MAKE SURE IT'S MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL"!  In speaking to a Healthcare professional, HR professional, a Retiree in Public Service and  a Restaurant management Retiree, I have learned that their personal goals and dreams are not tied to their current employment, marriage and raising of their children.  Somehow people of today have found themselves working in a 70/30 relationship.  Their output in any given relationship could be 70% but the return is 30% in satisfaction.  This does not work in any relationship. Someone will always feel the brunt of the work and feel unsatisfied with the overall results of the relationship.

When working on any relationship no matter if it's the business of being a mom, a son, or a friend make sure that the ROI (Return On Investment) is there; for example,  If you lavish your child with everything they ask for, with the hopes that they will honor what you ask and respect your wishes in return, you may find instead that they resent you and think you are controlling, they might turn out to be disrespectful in their responses and not 100% honest with you.  Unfortunately this Parent / Child relationship becomes only beneficial to the child on the short term because in the end it teaches them not to appreciate your giving and they are left standing on a false sense of entitlement.  This not only goes for male / female relationships, friend relationships but business relationships as well. 

The only time we think of ROI is in business.  However sometimes in effort to  get the business off the ground, some business owners have not protected themselves well and practically given away the farm just to get started.  But this is not the way.  Our message to you today is remember the Smitty Formula, and Whatever you do make sure it's mutually beneficial.  Make it a Win Win for all involved, including you!
