The Power of Owning Your Dream Before You Have Your Dream

I had to share this thought with you today and give gratitude where and to whom it’s due. On our way back from our 6 night cruise in Mexico we had the blessing and pleasure of spending two fun-filled days with great friends, Numis 6 star leaders/upline and acclaimed international author-speaker-entrepreneur, Mr. Burke Hedges. Burke and his wife Christina are known in the business community and have built many successful companies and it was indeed an honor to be with them in their lovely home. They truly showed Eva & I their first class and amazing hospitality. But even beyond the great time we had, they shared generously and taught us a huge lesson in how to dream and how to dream bigger.

Today in our society you only have two kinds of people. Contrary to what we think it’s not republicans or democrats, not progresive or conservatives, not even protestants or Catholics. It’s dremers and non-dreamers. Often times we forget the value of having a dream and it gets lost and muddled in the noise of day to day life. The reality is this however, dreams are everywhere. They are all around us. From the bed you slept in last night, the light switch you flicked on in the morning, the coffee maker you brewed your cup of java in, to the tooth brush, hair dryer and vehicle you drove to work. I don’t care how you slice it (even the toaster) lol everything begins somebody’s dream. Stop for a moment and count how many dreamers’ products you touched today, you’ll be amazed. Whether you are a marketer or coach, parent or single, male or female, black or white, you cannot deny dreams we benefit from exit in our world as a result of a visionary person who never lost sight or gave up on it. From Henry Ford, The Wright Brothers,Thomas Edison, Washington Carver to Bill Gates and the late Steve Jobs of Apple. Thank God for dreamers!

But how did these dreamers past and present realize their dreams? They did it by doing one crucially important thing. The same thing that Burke taught us the short trip from his home to the Tampa airport. It is this: You must touch your dream in order to possess your dream. Not only must you touch it mentally, but physically. You have to hold it not only in your mind but in your hand in order to possess in actuality one day. Author Napoleon Hill said it this way, “Whatever the mind of a man or woman can conceive and believe he can achieve.”

So what’s the point of this blog today? Several. 1) To give gratitude and big love to an awesome and bonified dreamer in our lives and team, Burke and Christina Hedges who paused long enough and caused Eva and I  to feel the dream (literally) in our hands. We thought we had it held in our minds so well already, but they helped us make it come alive even more in a stronger way. By driving one of our next goals for those who are familiar on our team those few minutes fortifed our dream to understand this truth. We already posses it.

2) To remind you that you’re also a dreamer and to not let it slip away in the cares of everyday life or busy-ness of day to day activity. I do know not all dreams can be physically held but that is when you hold them in your mind as Napoleon Hill teaches us above. The key here is to grasp the message. Ensure you take ample time every month at the very least to go touch, feel, smell, ride, sit in or walk through your dreams. Bring it close. Affix the emotion to it. Make it personally inseparable to you and your family. This way you bring it into the present instead of leaving it in the hope realm only. Then you’ll feel what we felt while driving to the airport with our amazing friends – see our dream come alive courtesy of Burke Hedges below.

Remember You Have To Conceive it, Believe it, to Receive it.

Surrounding Yourself with Other Great Dreamers Like We Did Here. Thank You Burke!

  1. Hey Erwin, This is one of the best blogs I have read up-to-date. We can set aside the products we have for a minute, the skills sets and technique to learn in this business. It all starts with a dream, and that makes perfect sense.

  2. Absolutely awesome. I love the fact that Burke is helping an accomplished dreamer and dream sharer, learn to dream bigger!
    I love the fact this team and all of it’s leaders are embracing this co-opetition mindset and not one of competition!
    Keep spreading the word Erwin and Eva, I’m right there with you guys.
