Dreamin’ BIG!

Yesterday I heard an amazing talk — Todd Carmichael, the co-founder of La Colombe coffee, who is such an inspiration. He not only dreamed of having a very large coffee company and did it, he dreams about huge treks in places throughout the world and he does that, too. Even breaks world records! But, how did it start I wondered. It starts with a dream and I wondered how many of us, even when they are young, encourage our kids to dream.

Why don’t you make it a game? It’s always fun to dream and for kids it might start with a trip to the zoo or to Disney World and Sesame Place, but starting out early could lead to all kinds of dreaming. Make it a game while sitting at the dinner table or while waiting at the doctor’s office or when stuck in traffic. Dream BIG! Start with a dream you have …. want to buy a new house? Maybe you should start it!

Encourage your kids to dream … maybe one day they’ll follow in Todd’s footsteps and travel the globe and even help mankind!
