Pushy Dreamers

Simon Sinek has a simple but powerful model for inspirational leadership all starting with a golden circle and the question “Why?” His examples include Apple, Martin Luther King, and the Wright brothers — and as a counterpoint Tivo, which (until a recent court victory that tripled its stock price) appeared to be struggling.

I’m passionate about it, its what wakes me up & keeps me going. It shows me no other way. Its is My Dream -PushyDreamers

Do you want to turn your goals and your dreams into reality?

What a dumb question, everyone wants to achieve their goals and make their dreams come true. Sadly, most people fail to achieve what they want in their lives.

Do you know why?

The answer is pretty simple, they don’t align themselves toward their goals and their dreams.

Negative thoughts will distract your focus from the important and drain your energy. At the end, you will no longer have the ingredients necessary for success. Knowing how to overcome negative thoughts may make the difference between victory and defeat.

I believe there is an important principle at work regarding negative thoughts, and that is:

Ramon Ray from Small Biz Technology shares tips with PushyDreamers on whats the best way to maximize your money and technology.

We gathered some of the best advice from the PushyDreamers we interview to give you an idea of what happens when you take action, don’t give up and keep pushing forward!

1. Realize you have a problem. 2. you accept responsibility, and the 3rd thing is being able to take course of action and learning how to, get through that problem. -Anthony Connor

When I first ran for civil court judge, I was not successful, but I came very close. I ran a second time and I got even closer, I was determined that this was what I really wanted to do and persistent and consistent in obtaining my goal. The third time I ran, I got elected.  -Judge Pickett

It is harder being your boss, than collecting a check every 2 weeks, you have to not only motivate yourself,  you have to motivate you staff and you have to constantly wake up and face the challenges, you get dropped down on your knees daily, you have to get back up and dust your shoulders off and dust your knees off and keep it moving. But the thing that keeps me motivated, is that this is mind, and I created this from nothing. I have this modern space to call my own. This is my dream.  -Arzo Anwar

Every show that I wanted to be on, I got on. Because I didn’t stop and I believed in myself. If you don’t believe in yourself, why would someone else give you a job? You have to know what you want and believe in it 100%, you have to have the product and why you want it. Because sometimes you get one shot to get the kill.  -Lawrence Zarian

When you enter into a relationship, to see what you get or to see what you can get out of, that relationship is doomed for destruction. But if you enter that relationship to see what you can give, or to give your best, in business, in love or family; that relationship is going to succeed. The same thing goes for your Dreams.  - Audrey Bethard

My post college bills that made my L.A. dreams seem unrealistic, but I moved to California in May of 2005 with the money I got for graduation and I aggressively hit the pavement running. I had a few contacts and I called them A LOT. I told anyone who would listen what I wanted to do. I went out as much as I could to events w/people who worked in the industry and tried to really get into the “mix” of what was going on. I worked as a bartender for months, while temping during the daytime developing my talent as an executive assistant. Got me an interview which led to my first Hollywood job. -DaVida Chanel

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest what is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

-Marianne Williamson
