I Dream For A Living!

Do you believe your dreams are achievable?


I recently came across a quotation from the film maker Steven Spielberg and I immediately identified with it; he said “I don't dream at night, I dream all day. I dream for a living." As a Life Coach (not a movie maker) my business is to take my clients dreams and help them to believe that they can; not only have those dreams (or goals as we call them) but that they can also have them within a reasonable time scale.

I often need to become the one with the certainty my clients lack that what they are aiming for is neither silly nor selfish, but both realistic and achievable! When they display a lack of determination or tenacity to follow through; my work with them must include a passionate reminder to them of their dream and all the reasons that I can muster, to convince them again that their dream worth eagerly pursuing and if needs be, fighting for.

I know people can achieve their goals, not only because I’ve personally achieved goals myself, but also because I have a growing number of past clients who have as a result of a period of Life Coaching also achieved the goals that they set for themselves.

I often quote the line from "Fawlty Towers" where Basil says in the "Communication Problems" episode: "Back to the world of dreams," if I digress from my initial subject matter within my coaching sessions. I then go on to remind my clients that Life Coaching is indeed "the world of dreams!" Do you want to be a dreamer, whose dreams come true? I believe you can be.
