One of the hardest things to do is to

keep dreaming when every thing else seems to be working against you, or when

your dreams seem to be impossible. This is the moment when a lot of people

simply give up. My parents always said to me: "When one door is closed, another

one is opened?"  

I agree that "being in the hallway"

is not easy. But believe me - it pays off to be persistent! The in-between-time

is when you need to keep pushing harder than ever!

Almost every successful person has

had to learn the importance of persistence, perseverance, and faith in what you

know you can do! Those lead to endless possibilities. .

I remember when I was a little

girl, and I was dreaming about becoming a coach and making a difference in other

people's lives. I also wanted to publish a book and live in America (I was born

and raised in Europe).

Today, I live in the United States.

(I became an American citizen 2 1/2 years ago.) I 'm writing book # 6 and book #

7, and I coach people globally. Many people tell me that I made a difference in

their lives... 
 
Did everything always go smoothly? No! So

what? Do you think I would stand here doing what I'm doing if I would have let

all the setbacks I have endured discourage me and drive me away from my

dreams?

When somebody tells me that it

can't be done - I will find a way to make it happen. I love challenges!

So, if you truly want something in

life, grow an elephant skin, surround yourself with a support team and move

forward!

Nobody can make you do it - but

yourself! Have fun with it and come up with some creative solutions when it gets

tough.

And one last big advice: DREAM

BIG!
