Dreams ARE Real

Ep 161: Radiate Your Soul into the World with Cassie Clayton, Creator of Stargazers Unite

The beauty of the finished picture is what inspires us to pick up the pieces when they fall.

Ep 160: (Behind the Mic) Picking Up the Pieces

Why do so many new entrepreneurs fail? Typically 1 of 4 common issues: They don’t treat their venture as a business including a strategic approach and plan for profit; they’re so captivated by a vision of the future that they’re unaware of the next steps needed in the present; they’re distracted by limitless shiny things around them and struggle for consistency, or they face people and leadership issues.

Ep 159: (Behind the Mic) Why New Entrepreneurs Fail (and What To Do About It)

As entrepreneurs (and people), there are two things we crave. The ability to feel truly calm and the clarity to understand our next steps. When we’re in control of how we feel and we understand where to go next, there is space to breathe and create the magic of our dreams. Until then, we spin, bounce, and feed our cycle of overwhelm. The path to freedom from anxiety, overwhelm, and endlessly delayed success is simple, but not easy. Today we move down the path of calm, clarity, focus, and momentum.   About the Host: Dan McPherson, International Speaker, Business and Personal Development Coach, and CEO of Leaders Must Lead, is on a mission to help Creatives and Entrepreneurs create and grow profit and understand that Dreams ARE Real.

Ep 158: (Behind the Mic) Calm. Clarity. Focus. Momentum.

I’ve chosen to be alive many times. Today I choose to truly live. Will you join me? This question can hit in many ways depending upon your situation. That said, this episode isn’t about what keeps us alive, but rather what makes us feel alive. In recent months, I’ve felt the color drain from my life and I’ve drifted into a state of staying alive rather than living. That changes now. If you’ve ever felt this same dissonance, I hope you may experience a similar change. I hope, like me, you’ll choose to truly live.   About the Host: Dan McPherson, International Speaker, Business and Personal Development Coach, and CEO of Leaders Must Lead, is on a mission to help Creatives and Entrepreneurs create and grow profit and understand that Dreams ARE Real.
