When Did You Stop Believing 
in the Power of Your Dreams?

When you were a kid you KNEW how to dream.

In fact you spent endless hours dreaming about all the really great cool things you were going to do when you grew up. Maybe you’d discover the cure for cancer, write the great American novel, or win an Academy Award.

Back then the sky was the limit. The possibilities were endless.

You could be a teacher, a fire fighter, a singer, a doctor, an animal trainer, a scientist, an adventurer, a cowgirl, a magician, an astronaut… whatever sparked your imagination.

But that was then. This is now.

You’re all grown up. Being a ballerina or the “ice cream man” may not hold the same appeal it once did. Or maybe you still can hear the faint call of a distant dream…. 

But hey, you don’t have time for all that dream stuff. You’ve got adult responsibilities. There are bills to pay and bosses to please. Who has time for “silly dreams.”  Right? 

And yet…

There is Something Deep Within You
That Just Knows There Has to be 
More to Life Than... This

Something more to life than alarm clocks and commuter traffic. Something more than performance reviews and living for the weekend. Something more than settling for a paycheck when what you really want is… a life. 

Part of you knows that, with a little digging, you could once again find those long-buried dreams or discover some totally new ones. 

Or, then again, maybe you are all too aware of an unfulfilled dream. It’s the one that occupies a special corner of your mind. The one that is an ever-present reminder of what you might have done, of who you might have been. If only...

Maybe you’ve managed to convince yourself that all this “live your dreams” stuff is just a myth. Or, then again, maybe you just got caught up in your adult life. In fact, you’ve probably back burnered your dreams for so long that you don’t really know how to take back your life and begin to live a life you truly love. 

Well, in just a minute, I’m going to introduce you to a remarkable woman who is going to prove that your dreams are far more real and reachable than you think. Someone who has helped literally millions of people reclaim their lives so they can live a life they truly love.

But before I do that, take just a moment to….

Imagine.

Imagine What Your Life Would 
be Like if You Could Work 
at Something You Really Love

Imagine that you are a genius. Not only that… imagine you have a “unique genius.”  And if that genius isn’t expressed by you, it will never be expressed

Imagine living the life you dreamed about. Where your work feels like play. Where you get to spend time doing the things you love and with the people you care about. 

Imagine that your dreams – every one of them – including your unique genius could be attainable, in your life time… no matter your age, your economic background, your education… anything.

You see, according to Barbara Sher (if you don’t already know Barbara, you’ll meet her in a minute), your dream… your unique genius… your special gifts… they’re inside you. They’re all inside you as you read this – and at this moment, you can probably feel them – they’re the hint of curiosity you’re feeling, that glimmer of hope that knows that there’s more to life than a daily back and forth trek to an unfulfilling job, that intense sadness you feel every time you see someone living their dreams, knowing it’s an impossibility for you.

The truth is, living your dream isn’t an impossibility. In fact, not only is it possible, it’s a very real probability – especially after you’ve met Barbara Sher.

So without any further ado, it’s my pleasure to “officially” introduce you to Barbara Sher.

Barbara is an internationally-known speaker, workshop leader, and career counselor who has appeared on national and local radio and television, including Oprah, The Donahue Show, The Today Show, 60 Minutes, CNN and Good Morning America.

Barbara is also the best-selling author of such life-changing books as

• Wishcraft: How to Get What You Really Want

• I Could Do Anything If I Only Knew What It Was: How to Discover What Your Really Want and How to Get It 

• It's Only Too Late If You Don't Start Now: How to Create Your Second Life After Forty

• Live The Life You Love: In 10 Easy Step-by-Step Lessons

And my name is Valerie Young. This is my website. I’ve been a huge fan of Barbara’s for about 15 years now – ever since I read Wishcraft. (Me and over a million other people!)

I feel blessed to say that since deciding to escape the corporate world to pursue my own dreams back in 1995, Barbara has generously supported me and my work at Changing Course.

For the longest time I just kind of fell into things. School, careers, jobs. Little wonder. Barbara says that we’ve spent years hiding our gifts and living with the pressure to be someone we’re not. Maybe you don’t know what your gifts are anymore than I did.

But make no mistake – they’re inside you.

Talent leaves clues everywhere, but sometimes you need help to decipher them. Once you learn to see and understand their code, these clues will lead you to your own hidden treasure, otherwise known as the pathway to the life of your dreams.

Find Your Gifts and You’ll Be Ready to go
 After Your Most Cherished Dreams

It’s as simple as that.

So why haven’t you unearthed your unique gifts and followed your dreams?

Well, first, let’s get a few misconceptions out of the way.

If you aren’t living your dream life and don’t have a clue as to what your hidden gifts are, don’t worry.

There’s nothing wrong with you. You’re not lazy. You don’t need “willpower,” nor do you “just do it.”

You don’t have to blame yourself, you don’t have to blame your circumstances, nor do you have to blame “society.”

The reason you haven’t found your gifts and aren’t living your dream life is because nobody has ever taken the time to show you how to do it. Probably because most people don’t know how to do it either.

But Barbara’s helped countless people (people just like you) grab their dream and hold on tight – and she’s generously agreed to help you achieve your dream life as well.

After all, when you do what you love, work turns into pleasure.

And shouldn’t your life be pleasurable?

So… here’s what she did:

Because finding and living your dream life is so important, Barbara has made her comprehensive “Dare to Live Your Dream” audio program available to you exclusively through ChangingCourse.com. (This is the very same series that over 70 Public Television stations have offered as a premium to its contributors.)

So, let’s take a brief tour of everything you’ll learn – all the techniques, all the practical, nuts-and-bolts, step-by-step methods to use your gifts and turn your dreams into reality.

It’s Barbara’s…

By the time you finish listening to the first part of the program, you’ll know how resilient (and important) your dream is. You’ll be able to identify the forces that squelch your unique genius and immediately defuse them.

You’ll find out that you’re about to embark on a fascinating journey – one designed for real life. You won’t need self-control. Forget about slogans and affirmations. Barbara says they’re useless. Aptitude and skills tests? Forget them.

What you’ll receive are immediately useful tools that will jumpstart the life of your dreams and show you why it’s “more therapeutic to fulfill your dreams rather than analyze them.” 

Next, you’ll explore the roots of your genius by finding out what you love. You’ll do this by using a special technique that Barbara says is “the only way a person ought to do it.”

You’ll find out that you don’t have to improve your “character.” You don’t have to embark on a huge self improvement project. You don’t even need to deserve what you want.

Early on, you'll hear about “Fresh Thinking.” That’s where you’ll find out:

• How to “Gather Your Allies” – believe me, it’s not what you think….

• Learn what to do with your emotions – both the positive and negative ones.

• Find out what key emotion will literally save your dream’s life.

• Discover the REAL reason why you always seem to resist change….

You’ll really start testing the waters during the fourth tape.

Barbara starts by showing you exactly how to create a mini-goal and then go after it with your whole heart. This mini-goal will be invaluable practice for when you decide to embark on your dream life. As you progress through this tape Barbara will take you step by step as you explore your emotions, your planning, and execution of your mini-goal.

Coming up next is what's known as the “Resistance Monster.” You’ll thoroughly examine this most curious of emotions and find out why resistance is not your enemy… it’s actually your friend. 

From here, you’ll receive a tool that will instantly change you from “dreaming your dream” to “living your dream.” By the end of this section, you’ll understand why “backwards planning” is almost always more effective than “traditional” flow charts….

Wow.

You’re half way through this fascinating series! But there’s more. Much more.

Keep reading to find out how…

If you’ve ever wondered why your emotions seem to sabotage every positive change in your life? Well… wonder no more.

You’ll find out:

• The one thing you need to do each day to say goodbye to self-esteem issues.

• How bravery changes you – permanently.

• The difference between a “life of fun” versus a “life of safety.”

• What happens when you don’t fear fear.

• The one emotion that instantly melts fear – again, it’s not what you think….

You’ll also receive an entire “Idea Bank.”  It’s what Barbara calls “Research for the Rest of Us.” You’ll discover fourteen invaluable resources – all easily accessible resources – where you can find any information you may need as you begin your new adventure.

The next part is very important. You’ve laid the groundwork. You’ve planned, explored, and had a great time up to now. Now the fun REALLY begins. Today you’ll officially start constructing the life of your dreams.

Barbara gives you food for thought as you begin your journey and gives you some concrete words of wisdom. She pulls everything you’ve learned so far and applies it to the project you’re beginning today.

She discusses some of the emotions you’ll be feeling and tells you how to handle each and every one:

• Feel like a beginner? No problem. Find out why your beginning is “holy.”

• Are you dealing with perfectionism? Find out its root and it won’t bother you again.

• What if your new life won’t earn a big income? Discover the surprising answer on this tape.

Coming up next, you’ll hear the stories and…

Find out how they handled set backs, confusion, and how they got back on track. Life isn’t an inspirational story – it’s life. And as Barbara puts it, life’s messy.

You’ll find out real people make mistakes – and you will too. But that’s OK. In fact, it’s better than OK. Find out why….

You’ll write your own success story when you find out how “Outcome Thinking” can transform your dream into reality. And how infusing your thinking with possibility can take you places you never expected.

Finally, you’ll get a good look at what the life you love looks like. You’ll find out what to expect in the years to come – and just a few of the surprises that are in store for you.

But best of all… you can receive all this invaluable information – information you’ll definitely need as you embark on this fascinating journey as you reclaim your life and begin to make your dreams come true – all completely…

Why put the life you really want on hold one more day when you can take that first important step in the service of your dreams?
