Take a minute to answer this mini-questionnaire.

True or false?
1. I am completely satisfied with the way I spend my time every day. 2. I have more than enough time, and the things I need in life to feel fulfilled.
3. I go to sleep at night feeling organized, calm, balanced, relaxed.
4. I have plenty of energy, even in the mid-afternoon.
5. I know I'm making my mark in life, and will die having made my contribution.
6. I make all the money I need from work that is my life's mission.
7. My relationships are strong and loving; I'm surrounded by people who understand me and support my dream.
8. I have a clear sense of my "mission in life" and am actively pursuing it.

So, did you net out? More true, or more false? If the balance tipped towards false, you might want to consider what is stopping you from having the happiness and self-fulfillment you certainly deserve.

This is how I see it. Every one of us on the planet was born with a particular mission in life - a gift that we are meant to give others. That gift might be running a dry cleaning business, or it might be serving in the Peace Corps. It might even be creating the perfect donut. We have an obligation to fulfill that purpose once we get clear on what it is.

• Do you spend your days doing work that's not 'you'... but then find you're too tired to do the work that is 'you' when you finally get home at night?
  
  
• Is the idea of quitting your job to pursue your dream exciting, but you have no idea to do it?
  
  
• Do you chip away at your dream from time to time but never really get going with it?
  
  
• If you see one more web site or ad that promises 'You can have it all!', do you think you'll scream?

In 1999, I published a little book called How Much Joy Can You Stand? How to Push Past Your Fears and Create Your Dreams. Since then it has been read by more than 75,000 people around the world, and currently has more than 28 five-star reviews on Amazon.com. I've led workshops, teleclasses, and seminars throughout the U.S. and Canada, and moved thousands of people to find and pursue the thing that brings them joy. In this work, I've found the biggest obstacle people face in pursuing their dreams is not related to know-how or even ambition. Their biggest problem is finding the time, the money, and the energy to make their dreams happen.

So...

• How do you pay your bills while transitioning out of your day job?
  
  
• How do you juggle your dream work with the demands of parenting and a full- time career?
  
  
• How do you set up your home office or studio so you have maximum energy and efficiency?

These are the small, nitty-gritty details in life that can hang a dream up...and I'm on a one-woman mission to put an end to all that. Because you can have all the motivation and inner wisdom in the world, but if you can't figure out how to pay the bills or make time for your dream, it simply ain't gonna happen.

For this reason I've spent the last year researching exactly what it takes to make your dream possible on a practical level. I've consulted with medical experts, energy healers, nutritionists, feng shui gurus, organization experts, and financial coaches. I've talked to average readers who are making their dreams happen, and those who are standing still. Out of this has come a new home study e-course I call Living Your Joy: How to Find the Time, the Money, and the Energy to Turn Your Dream Into Your Life. It's a six-part, 24-lesson, instantly downloadable program that gives you systematic, practical, step-by-step instructions on how to make your dream a part of your life. Each 3-10 page lesson gives you practical tips, useful information, and hands-on exercises that help you merge your dream and your life. And each lesson is designed to remove obstacles like not having enough money, time and energy. I've also added questionnaires, helpful web links, great books, and anything else I can think of that will grease the wheels of your dream.

Each lesson is delivered in a professionally designed, PDF-format file that is beautiful to look at, easy to read, and well worth printing out and saving. (You'll need to have the free Adobe Acrobat Reader to be able to view the lessons. It's a free download!)

In short, this is the user's manual you've been waiting for that will finally tell you how to push past the obstacles in life and make your dream real.
