Follow your heart. Pay attention to your dreams. Work with the cues your intuition gives you. Then, watch what happens…

Let your dreams come TO you - one piece at a time

This morning I woke up at 2:48 a.m., my throat feeling dry and parched. Must be the take-out Chinese food I ate last night. Too much salt. Not good. And yet too good to pass up. No matter.

When I get up in the morning the ideas just flow. They come to me. My receptivity is best in the morning upon awakening, though great ideas can and do strike at any time. When do yours usually come to you? You  should pay attention to that.

For the past few days I’ve been dreaming about two entrepreneurial ventures at the same time: one for one of my clients, and one for myself. This morning, what I realized about just dreaming about a business or entrepreneurial venture – or practically anything at all –  is that when you work with your “source” (you know, that “thing” or being you talk to when no one else is around) and you remain receptive, pieces of your dream come TO you as you need them.

Sometimes you don’t even know what you need, but the more you relax, follow your heart and just dream, the more you send a magnetic signal out into the world that attracts right to you the very thing you wanted all along.

For years I’ve been wanting to infuse my passion for intuition and the Law of Attraction into my day-to-day marketing and communications work, but didn’t know how. I tried coming up with concepts and strategies that would allow me to work at the thing at which I play in my spare time, but nothing seemed to stick.

Finally, one day last fall I made the decision to take my source, the universe, as my business partner. I figured that since it was all-knowing and all-seeing and it had proven itself to me many, many times before, it already had all of the knowledge, resources, business contacts and muscle power I needed. I decided to put aside my ego, be the puppet and  let it be the puppet master. For my part, I was tired of pushing and straining so hard in my professional life. It was time for me to just be the vessel through which its power flowed. What happened?

Surprisingly, as I relaxed and gently expected my source to collaborate with me while I went about my day-to-day business – it did! Not in the way I thought, but exactly in the way I needed: one piece at a time.

• In the spring, one of my friends, Lisa, a talented graphic designer and fashion stylist encouraged me to start a blog and write about my passion;
• As I started writing about my passion, just dreaming about the things I wanted to do and writing it down on paper, I began to attract clients through word-of-mouth referrals and without doing any marketing;
• Two clients in particular were open to dreaming. I decided to just dream with them about their businesses, and transformed their dreams into marketing and communications materials that quietly broadcast the essence of their dreams to the world;
• The more I focused on my dreams, the more I began to receive inspired ideas for products and services for myself and others (hence the 3 a.m. wake up call this morning);
• I had been wanting to take a week long professional development training course in the fall, but thought I might have to put it off until next year. Out of the blue one of my clients told me about an innovative three-day coaching course in Calgary, Alberta this summer that is perfectly suited to my needs. She generously gave me her air miles so I could fly for free to Calgary to take the course;
• A week ago I woke up with the idea that it was time to actually build and launch a blog instead of writing about it in my journal. I was too busy and tired to actually build it myself, so I decided to project manage it instead. Given such short notice, I didn’t think my friend Lisa would be available to design and work on it with me. She wasn’t, but she decided to make an exception. Days later, it was completed. Thanks to her, it has many more features than I had imagined (visible from my iPhone!);
• The list gets longer each day…

I have always been quite an impatient person, but what I am learning from my own source intuition is that though dreams can and do come true in an instant, more often than not they appear along your journey instead of at a particular destination. I find that when you relax and follow your intuition, cues are revealed to you. When you follow those cues you are led to the next juncture in the road. When you follow it, the next steps after that are then revealed to you, and so on.

Though I still get impatient sometimes, this way of being reminds me to slow down.

I could get used to this.
