“Vision is not enough, it must be combined with venture. It is not enough to stare up the steps, we must step up the stairs” ~ Vaclav Havel
If you’re anything like me, you have BIG DREAMS for your business and for your life.
The problem is, dreams alone lead nowhere and will never make your business wildly successful.
Your visions, ideas and dreams must be paired with the most important secret for success… how you show up in the world - and the actions you take.
I had a dream. I was consumed by it day and night and I visualized it as having already been achieved.
Did I ever doubt myself?
Yes. Absolutely. On more occasions than I care to recall.
Who was I to think, let alone believe, that I could make my mark in the American Bridal Industry?
I had so much going against me: I had absolutely no academic design background - I was an English major; I had no money except for the one green American Express card that I had already maxed out; No one in my family supported my dream - in fact they only laughed at my lofty aspirations. And I did not know anyone in this foreign land.
As I write this I am reminded of so many obstacles I was confronted with… never more so than during my recent visit to Bangkok. To my surprise I ran into one of the people I’d known for years but had not seen ever since I had moved to Dallas.
It’s always exciting to catch up and trade stories on how much we’ve all grown and where life has taken us.
In fact I recalled that she was among those, who, 32 years ago, scoffed at my dreams, letting me know that my goals were totally unrealistic. She told me I was surely setting myself up for a disappointment, that I should lower my expectations, and that I should live within my means.
Even though I felt deflated initially by her comments putting it down to some jealousy perhaps, to be fair her feedback was sound and I believe now that she delivered her perspective with some compassion, and genuine concern.
I recall so clearly stepping back and reexamining my dream and lofty goals then, realizing that YES they were indeed pretty outrageous, but that was exactly the kind of outrageous that would fire me up and motivate me to work harder just so I could prove everyone wrong.
If you’re like me and you tend to dream big dreams, there’s a good chance you’ll face voices of dissent. And most of these will be from well-meaning family, friends, even strangers.
Tragically though, the most damaging voice of dissent often comes from within us. It’s our self-talk that we don’t have what it takes to succeed, that we just don’t have the right ‘stuff’ to be victorious. It’s this self-doubt that stops us in our tracks.
But I digress…
Now I would like to take you back to that stress filled day in April of 1985. To the time I felt I had really messed up.
