I don’t come across someone fearless every week, so these Fearless Friday posts are special. When Sandy Weiner (seated, right) called me excitedly to tell me her news, I remembered back to our past Mastermind Sessions and her putting out this ‘reach’ goal. But I’ll let her tell the story…
***************************************************************
In the fall of 2008, I joined Jane Pollak’s Mastermind Group to help my Life Coaching business grow. As a solo-preneur, I wanted the support of a “board of directors”, a place to come every two weeks and celebrate triumphs, brainstorm ways to overcome obstacles, and dream bigger than I might if I were on my own.
With Jane’s support, I created a vision that included presenting my Process Painting workshops to six spas in locations all
over the world. It felt scary to utter those words out loud, but at the same time, I knew that this wasn’t a pipe dream. This was a realistic
vision.
I proceeded to contact a few local spas, but no one seemed to be hiring. In June of 2009, my mother treated me to a two day visit at the New Age Health Spa in Neversink, NY. I pitched my workshops to
the director and she was very interested. But she did not hire me. I followed up a few times by email and phone and eventually stopped hearing from her.
Imagine my surprise when I received an email from the director last week, with a list of dates to sign up for in 2010! I immediately chose dates in late May and October, and finally, after a year and a half, I have not one but two spa dates.
When you keep your vision alive, your dreams can become reality. It may take longer than you thought, but dreams do come true.
Believing is the key!
Thank you, Jane, for believing in me, sometimes even more than I believed in myself. You have encouraged the fruition of my big dream.

I’m grateful to Sandy for keeping me posted on her results. She did all the footwork, and succeeded beyond her dreams. Congratulations, Sandy!
Way to go, Sandy! You released the need to hear from the Director and as a result you had your hand open wide enough to receive overflowing blessings. That’s the way to do it!

Great image of an open hand! thank you!
Sandy,
Congratulations! It’s great to hear someone speak out about their Mastermind Group experiences. Your underlying commitment to your goals really made it happen for you. Opportunities are not always immediately available but a person should always be laying the ground work through actions like yours to capitalize on in the future.
Congrats!
