Need some inspiration for YOUR BIG dream?

Hey gang...

I just had a great conversation with BIG dreamer Mandy Van Maanen on our BDG Podcast.  Click here to check it out!

In the podcast... we had the chance to revisit Mandy's BIG dream that she posted on the wall at our original BIG dream gathering in our home.

And since she walked it out... she also offers some specific encouragement for dreamers who are thinking about going after one of their BIG dreams.

Then, we talked about one of her newest BIG dreams that involves the Cornerstone of Hope Orphanage in Nigeria.

Listen in as she talks about her passion for helping these beautiful children that have been helped by the orphanage... and her involvement in expanding the capacity of the orphanage from 7 children to 50!

How exciting is that?

Again... click here to listen in to this interview with this inspiring... and freakishly cool... BIG dreamer... Mandy Van Maanen!

I hope that it inspires you to dream BIG and go after your own BIG dreams!

Keep dreaming BIG!

Mitch

Barbara Garlock shares an inspiring BIG dream!

Barbara Garlock has an amazing story... AND an amazing BIG dream!

She is a successful attorney... she has a huge heart... AND she is a stage four cancer survivor.  

Now, she is wanting to help others that are facing challenging health issues by introducing something she is calling a "Center for Patient Partnerships."

Check out our video interview from the recent BIG dream gathering in North Carolina...

She wants to start a center as a collaborative project affiliated with one or more universities.   

Students, practitioners and professors of medicine, law, theology, social work, psychology, nursing, etc. could help people navigate the health care system and be advocates for the patients who need it most!

And not just "treat" them... but help them in a loving and compassionate way... listening to them... and helping to provide resources and sense of peace.

So, if you have encouragement, ideas or connections for Barbara, please click "comments" below this post and let her know!

And keep dreaming BIG!

A little inspiration from someone who is walking out their BIG dream!

I connected with John Cheatem last night... and talked with him about his upcoming concert in Des Moines.

You may have heard of John... and better yet... maybe you've heard John first hand.

He's a 23 year old powerhouse with a voice that's incredible and a humble heart that's equally amazing.

If you have... or if you haven't... heard John sing... you need to check out this youtube video of John performing Amazing Grace...

Amazing... huh?

Well, John decided to take a step towards his BIG dream and hold a concert tomorrow night.  

Yup, It was a risk.  It was scary.  

Would people come?  

Would people make fun?  

Would people say... "Who are you to do that?"

That's right... John had to face all of those internal voices that we all have to face as we're walking out our BIG dreams.

Well, I'm glad he pushed through.  So is he.

Want tickets for the show?  Well, sorry.  Believe it or not... the venue is SOLD OUT!

That's right!

His first show... and it SOLD OUT!

It's going to be a great night and I believe the continuation of an amazing journey towards his BIG dream.

We'll schedule John for a BDG podcast soon, so we can get an update on his dream AND find out when his next show is scheduled for YOUR area!  (We'll have to get it early though... because I have a feeling he's going to sell out a whole lot of venues!)

Be inspired!  Send up some prayers for John for tomorrow night!  And... Keep dreaming BIG!
