“Now go and make interesting mistakes, make amazing mistakes, make glorious and fantastic mistakes, break rules, leave the world more interesting for you being here, make good art.“

Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting. So… get on your way.”
Dr. Seuss
There are so many times I hear about people waiting for the perfect time to ignite their passion and live their dreams…waiting for the right job, the right partner, the right bank balance, you get my drift. My question is simply this…What are you waiting for? Life is not perfect, we are not perfect, therefore, if we wait for the perfect time to ignite our passions, we will continue to delay our dreams in search of perfection.
If I Had Waited.
If I had waited for the perfect time to go to beauty school, I would have never started. If I had waited for the perfect education to work with one of the greatest hair care companies in the world, I would have never had the incredible experiences and career I was blessed to have. If I had waited to follow my bliss and pursue my passion, Passion Squared would not exist, and I would not be here today writing this blog post for you.
We Move Towards What We Focus On.
Instead of waiting for the perfect time to follow your bliss and pursue your passion, it’s time to put your energy into crafting your vision and getting clear on the steps you need to take to bring your vision to life. Here’s the deal, we move towards what we focus on. That is a universal truth. What are you focusing on? Are you focusing on your passions and dreams or all the reasons you believe they will not work? Are you taking steps everyday to get closer to what you want for your career, business, life? So, I ask again, what are you waiting for?
If you are looking for help igniting your passion and bringing your ideas to life, we offer one-on-one coaching for those ready to step into their dreams. If you are serious about growing and ready to get started, click here. I look forward to dreaming with you.
PS: A special shout out to my biz soul mate Gordon Miller for helping me pursue my passion by making the awesome decision to co-create Passion Squared. I heart you infinity and beyond.
