We have been talking about goals – a lot in fact – so why now talk about your dream?  Your dream is an expression of the soul of life of your nature.

Years back when I first met up with someone who asked me about my dreams I was a bit put out as I had left my dreams behind me like so many. Passing through the educational system with its attitude of rationalism and the request that knowledge has to be acquired at any cost, had step by step and thoroughly eliminated the dreams. Not that I was aware of it as no one ever talked about them apart from dreaming during sleep and even talking about that was not too popular in those days.

The friend who had alerted me to think about my dreams obviously had encountered many people like me who had lost their dreams altogether. He started to coach me carefully, asked me what I had wished for as a small child and in my early years at school and even then I found it hard to connect. I met other people in groups who talked about their dreams and how important they are in life and so slowly I dared to risk a thought and another one and I used my so well trained rational mind to go that way and imagine. It was a start, yet I realised that something was missing. For me my dreams at that stage were a list of ideas which appealed to me as being nice, but they didn’t impact me enough to get me going after them. When discussing the topic with like minded people I even encountered another obstacle. They kept talking about following the dreams with passion as that would make them real and tangible. Wow – what a challenge – where do you get passion from when you have lost it as a result of the conditioning you have received for years and years…

Does this situation perhaps ring a bell in you? Do you feel odd, to say the least, when somebody asks you what your dreams are? Today the topic of dreaming, of creating your vision, of working on the dreams, the vision has become a lot more popular and more and more people are at least in theory aware of this concept. There are workshops available and teams who dedicate time to this kind of work and also in good business trainings the dream and the vision have found space.

If you are new  to this kind of work I strongly suggest you get yourself a pin board which you make your dream/vision board – you can start off with small things which come to your mind which you might want or do  and which at the moment have no room in your life and as you keep looking at the board you will step by step develop an  interest and a liking for adding ideas or even change some until at some stage you will realise that you have developed a relationship with your dreams and that you actually draw them into life through your imagination, later in your thoughts, your planning. And then one or the other of the dreams on your vision board will manifest in life and  now, if it did not happen before, you can also connect with the passion you are supposed to have for your dreams.

If you feel you need coaching, support to follow this path and perhaps need to remove some old junk from the back of your mind you can pick up contact any time – let’s talk it over – the team is there and ready to give you all the help you might want and need.

Communication is one of the vital factors of life and as such lots and lots is being written about it. There is a simple test to this fact – simply enter the word communication as a search word into Google and you will see the massive result!

Communication accompanies us from out first to our last breath. As a new born baby we communicate through sound – we cry when hungry or uncomfortable. Quickly the sound pattern becomes bigger and more diversified it is complemented by gesture until language comes in. Some aspects of communication are inherent and some are trained by example. It is this basic structure which remains in use for life even though it becomes more and more complex and involved.

Communication is the basis for interaction with others. At school, when getting trained for a job, at university, but also in private life, in the family, with relations, friends and people we simply happen to meet up. Yet communication is never trained systematically unless you are interacting professionally one way or other.

Communication as a result very often lacks sophistication. One aspect to which I want to draw attention today are the personality colours. Knowing about this facilitates communication on all levels.

Everyone knows that there are all sorts of people – quiet ones, loud ones, ones which socialize easily others who are shy. Looking at people from the point of view of personality colors is not so widely known and yet it proves so helpful.

Basically people can be split into open or self contained and indirect and direct. The 4 personality colours are yellow, blue, green and red. Yellows are open and indirect, blues open and direct, greens self contained and indirect and reds self contained and direct. This may sound a little complex but it can be cleared up easily in a training which offers also charts or description of charts.

Let me give you an example: Take a yellow person – as a rule they are nurses, teachers, helpers of any kind, in families they are the peacemakers. They will speak about their helping intentions but when asked a direct question, like “do you have children” they will be very short “yes”. Whereas a blue person will say “yes” and start telling you all the details of the beloved ones – blue ones are direct, remember?

This is a very short example of a personality color – each colour has specific characteristic and when you mind these in conversation and contact you can customize the information you hand out. another example give a red person, who is direct and self contained and very interested in money a detailed description of a business, tool or whatever they will run. The only thing that would interest them would be – how much money can I make respectively what’s it for.

Communication by customizing information to the type of personality you are dealing with is a definite advantage in personal as well as business life and especially in a business as Network Marketing, where the topic is building people.

YOU are the center of your life. YOU need to specify who YOU are and where YOU want to go.

YOU have to create YOUR Dream, YOUR Vision of life!

Does this sound different from what you were taught at home, at school or where ever? Probably. It is this attitude of putting yourself last which creates so many problems in life. Yet this attitude has developed over time. When you go into old scripts you will find the same/similar information pretty much everywhere: “love others as you love yourself”!

Putting yourself last has created lack and lack is a bad advisor, since we create in our lives whatever is on our mind most. So what do we create when we come from a mindset of lack? LACK!

Modern teachings all center around your dream and how to create one for yourself. This is easy for some, yet a process for most people. It is the environment which as a rule inhibits or in some cases even kills this process with statements like: “have you become an egotist”, “stay realistic”, “don’t aim for the moon”, “money is bad”, “why do you think you deserve this” – to quote only a few.

In the process of personal development when you are about to re-program your personal mindset you are very touchy when such statements  are thrust on you. Therefore it is essential that you keep quiet about your venture in the first place until you know that you want to really change your life and then to have support and comfort in an alien environment you need to mix with people of your own mindset. This will give you the strength to grow, to stick to your ideas or even expand them.

Best of all you join a strong group of people who have already mastered the new mindset or are well on the way to do so – a mastermind group. This group not only gives you strength and backing, it amplifies your capacity to move on.

When several people of the same mind set meet the energies add up and the capacity of the group and its members rises exponentially. In a mastermind group you have a safe space where you can speak your mind, gather support and ideas, receive comfort when life has been harsh on you and you need a helping hand to bring you back to your path of growth and personal development.

Lots of people will not understand this and try to draw you away, yet some people will understand and even join you as they have been searching.

When you google personal development you will often see sites where personal development is offered in context with network marketing – this is no coincidence it is so TRUE! Network Marketing, when done in the right way, is an industry which builds people and helps people own their lives. Thanks to Michael Dlouhy and his mastermind group we can offer support to many people who are searching and it is a pleasure to provide all the support needed.

The truth is the truth is the truth and the mastermind works! – It is up to YOU to discover how the mastermind groups works for YOU!
