If you can dream it you can create it

To fulfill your dream – if you can dream it you can create it.

For a couple of years ago I read about the Swedish governments programme to promote women´s entrepreneurship. I applied, got approved and became one of the ambassadors. This was a non-profit mission and many people did not apply for this reason. I thought instead that it was important to show schoolchildren that there are alternatives to a regular job. To have your own company or work as a teamentrepreneur. Or doing both – being an employee and a businesswoman at the same time. Inspire them to believe in their ideas and give them tools to fulfill their dreams. At school, we learn not to sit and daydream. I would like to show another track of life.

Having done this has led me to a larger business network and generated revenues for my own firm. For example I was the moderator for a group of young entrepreneurs through “Företagarna” – The Swedish Federation of Business Owners who in turn recommended me to the project team of the Baltic training programme. Right now I am preparing for the second round of coaching students for that project and will travel to Latvia again to meet up my collegues. Earlier, I wanted to go abroad and work. Now this is reality and I would like to continue with this! Through this work many new people have met each other who otherwise never would have met. Many collaborations has been initiated. Knowledge has been transferred. The design of this website is one of the outcomes from contacts during this project!

So be open to your dreams and that they can be realized in unexpected ways. And perhaps in other ways than what you first had in mind. Keep on dreaming!

Thoughts about how to fulfill dreams:

* Brainstorming, write down your goals. Make a plan! Talk with your family and friends about it.
* Believe in the idea fully. Work with for example visionary boards (will get back to this later on) and vision training on CDs.
* Make your first steps according to the plan. (Make that phonecall, invite a special person to have lunch with you..)

Don´t forget to make follow-ups so you know that you are on the right track! Good luck!
