Ditch the dreams and be a doer
Dreams do not come true just because you dream them. It’s hard work that makes things happen, it’s hard work that creates change … Ditch the dream and be a doer, not a dreamer… My dreams did not come true. But I worked really hard. And I ended up building an empire out of my imagination. So my dreams? Can suck it. ~ Shonda Rhimes, Dartmouth Commencement Speaker/Writer/TV producer (Grey's Anatomy among others)
I'll be the first to admit that I am a daydreamer. I dream about the day that I can "fire my boss!" I dream about the day I can live my own personal version of the "laptop lifestyle."
It's great to have these dreams, but they aren't going to come to pass just because I dreamed them. They won't come true just because I told you about them, either.
Making our dreams come true takes work—hard work. It is that work which creates the change necessary to fulfill our dreams.
I'm not quite ready to tell my dreams to "suck it" as Rhimes says in her quote. I am however ready to take it to the next level as I build my businesses.
I am not entirely sure what that next level is, but I know that it will require hard work and I am more than willing to do that work!
I have several ideas for the next level, but I am still looking for ideas, too.
What are you "next level" ideas? What work do you have to do to reach that next level? How hard are you willing to work to turn those dreams into realities?
Best wishes,
Karin 😁

Hi Karin,
Indeed, dreams will remain dreams unless you put in the hard work to make them a reality. Keep doing whatever you need to do to make your dreams come through.
Much success to you!
Kind regards,

Good evening my friend, we all must dream the secret is wanting it enough deep down inside and believing in yourself, that you can acquire the dream, believing in what you do is giving you a pathway to this dream. Never giving up never stopping until you succeed. Being strong powerful in what you do, however always adding True Value into society for others. May you be blessed my friend.
Karin I think the coolest thing is that WA can help us scale with the whole connected world as our market and that our sites can work 24/7. Every bit of work you do, stays done and gets viewed over and over again and then of course it can grow exponentially. Now that's a pretty good dream!
Hello Karin, I always enjoy your posts, and you always inspire me.
Have a great weekend!
