When Big Dreams Start Happening Fast

Over the years I’ve worked with many people in their businesses, helping them write, publish and market books and information products, get web sites up and market them. I’ve noticed something about how humans react when big dreams start happening fast. Because I’m known for simplifying things and getting things done fast, I’ve noticed that people experience a lot of emotions and fears when they make sudden progress on their business goals.

For example, during a business retreat at our home, one of our clients went from having a vague idea for a business to a fully functional web site with a complete explanation of her services and buy buttons to take orders. In essence, she arrived with an idea and went home with a functional business.

Throughout this process, our client experienced a few panic episodes. Fears, tears and insecurities came up because her ideas were becoming reality so quickly. She’d expected this process to take months. Instead it took 2-3 days.

Even Good Things Can Be Scary

It’s interesting that even good things we want can be scary when they start coming fast. I’ve experienced this myself when I first met my future husband Dave. Even though I’d seen him coming for years in visions, dreams and conversations with God, when he finally showed up, I felt simultaneous wonder, excitement and terror.

I felt like I was being swept along, almost without any say or choice in the matter — as if destiny took control. Suddenly everything I’d dreamed of was happening all on its own.

I literally asked God, “Do I get any say in this?” That’s how “out of my hands” it felt. The answer came clearly, “This is what we discussed, what we planned together. Here it is. Reach out and take it if you still want it. If you don’t, it’s your choice. We can create something else together if this isn’t what you want.”

I had to consciously process whether I even wanted my big dream anymore. After taking a few days to consider this, I realized I DID still want what God and I had planned together. I would be a fool not to accept this miracle into my life.

I think perhaps, this is what happens to our clients when Dave and I make formerly-daunting things a reality in a simple, graceful and fast way. They feel like destiny is making it all happen in a heartbeat, and they’re not sure they want those big dreams anymore. Or maybe they still want their dreams, but a ton of self doubt comes up. Am I ready? Am I good enough? Do I have what it takes? Should I take another class first?

You Are Already Ready Now

In the case of our client, I was right there sitting beside her, helping her process her emotions. That’s the great thing about being both a SimplyHealed Practitioner and a business/marketing consultant. Business isn’t just business. It’s emotion and fear, stress, work, exhilaration, excitement and adventure all rolled together. I love helping our clients navigate this beautiful mess as gracefully and efficiently as possible.

Yes, business can be scary. But being in business is hands-down the best self-development adventure you’ll ever take. I know. I’ve been in business since 1990. It’s been extremely difficult at times and exhilarating at others. Through it all, it’s made me the person I am. And, I like me. I like who business has helped me become – primarily because of the people I’ve met and the personal growth I’ve gained along the way.
