Do you often get what you want or what you dream of? If you do, that's because you took some action to make it happen. You got it because you identified and articulated what you wanted and then you made it happen. Things do not just happen by accident. You will not get what you want if you don't identify it and then do some work to move yourself closer towards it. If you know that you want something different from your life then you absolutely must join The Dream Life Academy before the doors close on Monday. If you aren't familiar with the Academy, let me explain. The Dream Life Academy is THE place for you as you start, and grow, your dream life and business.

You are absolutely not just anything. You are amazing, capable, important and you matter.

Nicky is so honest about her business journey, about not necessarily having a plan, and about adapting and changing as the years go by. I loved our conversation. As Nicky explains, it’s perfectly OK to have a lightbulb moment which leads to a business, and then it’s ok to separate head and heart in order to let it go. See what Nicky does here.
