I am most often asked: how did you quit a successful career to begin pursuing your dreams? People are drawn to wanting to knowing more about giving up what doesn’t feel right – even when that includes a six figure income, home ownership, security and identity – to go after your true desires.

Each of us loves the idea of being happier – a primary source of great unhappiness though is denying yourself the right to be pursuing your dreams. Changing the beliefs you have that are holding you back are key. Watch this video for my guidance and begin to change your limiting beliefs today. In it, I dissect some commonly held flawed premises about what happens when you pursue your dreams. The tool below will help you dismantle limiting beliefs you hold, one by one.

TOOL: A belief is just a thought you keep thinking. Write down one old habit of thought and then re-write it in a way that makes you feel better. For example: “I have to work hard for everything I have” could be an old thought that can also be accurately thought as, “I like the idea of things working out easily for me”. Begin repeating your new belief as often as you can to yourself until that becomes the new dominant thought you keep thinking on that subject. Then choose another old habit of thought about another subject and re-work it. Incremental shifts such as these always yield benefits that you’ll notice quickly.

  • Fascinating…I don’t know where I would fit in. I always side stepped my dreams helping others find theirs…this way I could watch them succeed or fail without taking the risk myself. Only when I decided to step out in front of my dreams and have the courage to take the chance did I succeed. Helping others was rewarding but a distraction to what I wanted for myself…perhaps I was opting out but when I put myself first it gave me drive, panic, fear, elation and ultimately the surprise of success…asking…”Why didn’t I do this years earlier?” The option was always there, but it takes confidence and courage, I often set myself up to fail so I wouldn’t have to deal with the dream….the road not taken!
    Oh, well, better late than never….but am I where I want to be in life? That’s the question!
