What do you need to move your vision forward?

Daily | September 8th, 2008 by Danielle LaPorte

Today’s question comes from our special guest, Kelly King Anderson, aka the Start Up Princess. Overnight success is by and large mythical. Big dreams and beautiful visions usually come together one step, and one fulfilled commitment at a time.

Carrie says: I am doing it. We are adding video blogs to our site, so exciting! I carry around my new video camera, hunting for inspired moments. We just created our first product, thanks Keiko. And we have a savy smart intern optimizing our site!! Growing, Growing!!

Danielle says: Next on the Divine Ambition To-Do and To-Wish List: more of y’all! Our success is based on our message spreading, on links, clicks, comments, and mutual love - so send your friends over and let us hear your wisdom. And if any one is having lunch with Oprah, invite me. I’ll pick up the tab.

Kelly says: I’m in action-mode…this is the season I’ve planned for all year. Here’s my priority list for the next 30 days. (By the way, if you can “grant a wish” here, I’d love to return the favor!)

Implement word of mouth and social media campaign to promote our Startup Princess events.
Build and strengthen relationships with business partners and sponsors who want to reach women business owners.
Hire online-savvy college intern to manage and maintain our website and fit my bootstrapping budget to allow me to focus on product development.
Learn how to create successful email campaigns.
No matter how busy I am, make time everyday to pretend with my kids.

Focus and visualization. The wisdom to realize when something isn't working and the gumption to change it. The nonstop flutter of muses.

Create lists every day & work from them. Consistency, do what needs to be done every day~with pleasure. Completion, make sure everything is done~and done exceptionally well. And finally, continue to beleive in myself & in my dreams. Know every single day that I am working towards my dreams & creating an amazing life for myself and be joyful of the miracles that arrive in my life every single day.

COOPERATION! And trust that things will happen when they need to happen and that everything is actually, maybe, perfect ... Waiting is not a failure.

I need:

1. Funding
2. Materials
3. Time

All very important things but I'm gettting through them one at a time.

Let go of those nagging old fears and self-doubts, and just let myself fall into the new life. With open arms and giddy heart. I want it so much!
And I am close to doing it! :)

A part time job that pays better than my full time gig, so that I can freelance in more creative adventures of my own design..... and I think I found it this morning ....now just have to go get it!

A nice balance in my savings account so I can quit my job and freelance full time.

A plan. I spent this weekend figuring out my weekly routine so that I can make writing a priority. Now, I will write first thing in the morning for 1 1/2 hours - that way I have worked toward my dream before the rest of the day gets in the way.

I've been offered an amazing opportunity that would require complete upheaval in my life, and a real professional stretch. Need to decide what I really want out of life in order to determine whether or not to accept this opportunity.

Yeah. I need someone to help me with my blog (I've gotten over my first hurdle in actually asking for help - I hate doing that even when it's for my benefit). I need business cards too. I have added a layer on, I became really interested in bookarts and bookmaking. I am currently taking a class to see if its an avenue worth pursuing (taking a class helped me realize that I do not really want to be a jewelry designer). So giving it a go and I really pray that I have fun (I am really excited about it thus far) - and if I find I love it....I will need to find the courage to do this "off the beaten path" but rewarding thing. Sorry mom, I just wasn't made to be a lawyer.

I also really need to get my driver's license. I am thinking of heading South where my family originates and you can't really get around without a car. The thing is, I am afraid to drive.

A big-huge KICK in the butt!!
last year I sold out of my successful IT Consulting business - great decision. I had a baby, and then started a new venture...Well, second time around isn't a charm...at least it isn't yet. I can not blame the kids, the husband, the housework - I know it's me and my current lack of motivation. What I really need to move my amazing vision of my amazing company forward, is a good old fashion KICK in the ASS. once i start moving, there is no stopping.

Freedom from negative thought patterns and worries about other things in my life.
I find that if other areas of my life are kind of wonky, I get so stuck on them that I can't focus on my vision and my dreams.
I need to be able to separate or take 15 min. each day to just worry about other things so I don't get distracted.

I echo those needs (time and money), and frankly, without them (especially the money), I currently feel hobbled and "piecemeal" in my attempts. However, I think sometimes a lack of [fill in the blank: money, time, proper opportunities] is a way for us to suck in a deep breath, ingesting a huge amount of faith and intestinal fortitude and keep going in spite of whatever our limitations are. At the moment, my challenges (money, mainly) loom large, and yet my mustard seed of belief refuses to die. So I guess I'm saying that in addition to much needed tangibles to keep our vision moving forward, we must also have those potent emotions in place (especially in those times when the tangibles are slow to present themselves).

Six more hours in every day. Continuing education until death. Constant efforts to maintain an open mind. The grace of God, and persistent efforts of those who continue to support me. Humor!

I would like to continue to be diligent with where my money is going, and how it is working for me. My visions are wide and varied and I am focused about saving for my retirement and setting myself up to continue to be self-sufficient. Supporting and taking care of myself are what I "need" and that is what I am doing.
