Making Your Dreams Come True

by Marcia Wieder

Book Overview

Imagine living the life you've always dreamed about--the career, the relationship, and even simply that vacation you keep putting off. In Making Your Dreams Come True, Marcia Wieder teaches you a concrete formula to overcome whatever is standing between you and your dream--mostly your own self-limiting beliefs--and to rediscover the passion that may have been hidden for years. ???????? As a dream coach and entrepreneur, Marcia Wieder knows what she's talking about. In 1993, she left her successful East Coast media business and moved to San Francisco, the city of her dreams. Six years later, with a thriving international business as a motivational speaker, she's a shining example of what is possible when you follow that inner passion. ???????? With Marcia as your personal coach, you too will learn step-by-step how to define and manifest your dreams. But according to Marcia, you must first examine your attitudes and beliefs to see whether or not they empower or impede you. Learning how to get your own beliefs on your side is just one of the specific strategies of her plan. Throughout the book, Marcia also provides a wealth of helpful advice--from how to look at your life from a genuinely fresh perspective to designing an environment both physically and emotionally that will support your dream. You will also discover the "Passion Pyramid," a useful tool that reveals how passion helps you accomplish your dreams more quickly. ???????? Filled with stories of real people, practical exercises, and a personal workbook for you, Making Your Dreams Come True delivers on its promise: When you've finished, you will know how to make your dreams come true--any time you choose.

Dreamers - A Take-Action Guide to Move You Forward!

This book (and it's companion tape set) is a definate treasure. I was fortunate to hear Marcia at a business conference (isn't that a twist - dreams at a business conference!) and was enthralled.She is positive, uplifting, and really encourages you to examine closely what makes you happy, what you'd really like to accomplish, and how to get out of your own way. Marcia won't beat you up, but she will give you concrete, take-action steps to move you forward from "it would be nice if..." to "I'm making it happen!".This book was instrumental in helping me decide to move from my IT career of over 19 years into my own business as an Image Coach. I find much more fulfillment in doing this, and it's this book that made it possible. I recommend this to any and everyone who feels that they are meant for something more than what they are doing right now, or who needs to find more fulfillment in what they are doing.Everyone who reads this book won't necessarily change their life's direction drastically, but this book will definately get you looking inward and gives you the tools to build a much brighter and more welcome future.Highly recommended, along with the companion web site and if you can get a copy of her tape set, do so...the audio tapes make a great add-on for the book.

A Must For Dreamers

Marcia Wieder's latest book is upbeat,user friendly and wraps it's arms around you as you read it.I know Marcia and have seen her in action many times. It is wonderful to see her creative and heartfelt energy that has helped thousands achieve their dreams, captured so brilliantly in this book. I believed I could create my dreams more and more as I read each page. I was especially impressed with the ease and flow I found as I went through the exercises. The stories of how other people created their dreams by using the many tools this book offers, was very inspiring and so believable that I was moved to say to anyone that has a dream,large or small,this book is a must.

Find Purpose and Passion in Your Life

I have read many types of books on self-improvement which have helped to improved my life, but this book has moved me beyond explanation. In just two hours, I have already read over half of the book while completing Marcia Wieder's valuable exercises. I am extremely excited because through these exercises I am discovering my true life's purpose and actually envisioning specific, tangible ways to accomplish my dreams. By the way, I am a very practical minded woman with a secure, well-paying job in a Fortune 500 company. I also have three great children, a happy marriage, own a large home, am in excellent health with terrific friends, and I'm earning straight A's in college (among many other blessings). Still, I have not been content with how my life has developed and I couldn't quite pinpoint the problem. This book has left me with a renewed hope for a bright and exciting future. If something is missing in your life and you want to live it with passion, I highly recommend you get this book.

Practical & Powerful

Just wanted to take the time to share my experience in reading this book with anyone considering buying it. Of all of the books I've read on the topic of success (personal & professional), this is by far the most practical and powerful step-by-step guide I've ever encountered. Marcia Wieder is a funny and captivating writer with a clear and focused approach to acheiving goals. I've read many books that have suggested ideas for creating success that simply were not suitable solutions that could be easily applied in my life. This book is different, the instructions in this book are written for the average person, not someone with the ability to just walk out of a job to pursue a dream of becoming something else. For some this may be a viable alternative, not for me. I needed help clarifying my dreams and an easy formula for manifesting these dreams in my life. This book has been more helpful to me than any other book I've read on the subject of acheiving goals, personal/professional success, etc. After reading this book, I began to identify what my passion was and how I could bring that passion into my everyday life without doing anything radical or unrealistic! This book is fantastic and I'm sure anyone who chooses to read it will not regret their decision!

A Must Read!

I saw Marcia on PBS and was so impressed - I immediately bought the book. I got through all the workshops pretty rapidly. For the first time I saw how far I have really come in making my own dreams come true. I couldn't believe it. The book is so powerful, I bought 6 more to share with friends and family - so they too could get pointers on how to make their dreams come true. Marcia is an incredible writer, and keeps you engaged and excited throughout the entire book. If there was a 10star rating - I'd give it to this book!
