The world always makes way for the dreamer.

When I was twelve years old my father took me to see Zig Zigler. I remember sitting in that dark hall listening to Mr. Zigler 36 everyone’s spirits up to the ceiling I 37 there feeling like I could do anything. When we got to the car I turned to my father and said “Dad I want to 38 people feel like that.” My father asked me 39 I meant. “I want to be a motivational speaker just like Mr. Zigler ” I replied. A（An） 40 was born.

Recently I began seeking my dream of motivating others. 41 a four-year relationship with Fortune 100 Company 42 as a sales-trainer and ending as a regional sales manager I left the company at the height of my 43 . Many people were 44 that I would leave after earning a six-figure income. And they asked 45 I would risk everything for a dream.

I made my 46 to start my own company and leave my worryingless position after 47 a regional sales meeting. The vice-president of our company delivered a 48 that changed my life. He asked us “If a god would offer you three wishes what would they be?” After giving us a

49 to write down the three wishes he then asked us “Why do you need a 50 ?” I would

never forget the power I felt at that moment. I realized that 51 I had accomplished in the

past

had prepared me for this moment. I was ready and didn’t need a god’s help to become a

motivational speaker. A motivational speaker was 52 .

Having made that decision I was immediately 53 . One week after I gave notice my husband was laid off from his job and now we had no 54 . But I held fast to my dream. The wonder really began to happen. In a short time my husband found a better job. And I was able to book several 55 engagements with new customers. I discovered the incredible power of dreams.
