Don’t let your dreams die before you do

Friday, March 9th, 2012 by Kim Bolsover

“I love color. I want to make it my living, my life, but I have no idea where to start. I’ve always loved it. I have to do this but I’m scared that I’m spending lots of dollars on something my friends and family say is a waste of time. Do you really think I can do this? Can I have my own business? I want to help women look great but I have a family and we have rent to find, food to buy, the kids to clothe…”

Dee’s voice trailed off and, even from over 3,000 miles away in North America, I could tell she was on the verge of tears.

When you’re this passionate about something and you think you can’t have it, you’re bound to end up crying your eyes out.

So I told her, “Dee, you’re just normal. Go ahead and sob your heart out. It’ll do you good. We can talk tomorrow if you prefer…” but before I could finish, she almost shouted at me down the phone.

“No! I’ve made my mind up. This is it. It’s just… too much. Too much to think that I’m actually going to do it. I’m finally going to live my dream.”

Dee told me how she’d always dreamed of working with colour. She’d loved art, drawing, painting as a child and when she went to see a colour analyst about 10 years ago she was hooked.

She decided there and then that that was what she really wanted to do with her life – but then life immediately began to get in the way.

For poor Dee, her world started to cave in. First her mother became truly ill and, having very little health insurance, she had to spend most evenings and weekends looking after her. She was still having to keep her 9-5 job going at the same time or Dee and her husband Bill wouldn’t have been able to make the house payments each month or feed their two children.

Dee’s marriage started to buckle under the strain – after all, they hardly ever saw each other – and it was only when she realised that divorce was on the horizon that the two of them sat down and discussed how to get some help for her mother so they could spend more time together as a family.

The details of how they achieved that aren’t important here. What is important is that Dee and Bill realised what their priorities were – each other, and their dreams of a life together with their kids, and to make sure their own personal dreams didn’t die before they do!

Since then it’s taken a while and lots of deep discussions but Bill has encouraged Dee to follow her own rather colourful dream.

And so, here she is, on the threshold of realising that long-held dream. She’s about to become a fully-trained, professional colour consultant.

I asked Dee what she really wants out of this, “What would be your perfect lifestyle?”

“I want to run my own colour business. I may add style later. I don’t know right now and I’m not thinking that far ahead. I want to earn enough money for us to pay off the house, pay for more care for my mom, take the kids to Disneyland, buy Bill the boat he’s always wanted…”

“Yes but what about you, Dee? What do you want?”

“I just want to work with colour every day. I want to learn everything I can. I want to work with women who don’t think they could ever look good and I’ll be able to show them how to look good every day. There are so many women I can help…”

Women like Dee are such an inspiration

She was born to help others, and she’s going to get the most out of her life by doing just that.

Having just purchased Colour Analysis in a Box , Dee is one of only 10 consultants who will get a whole load of complimentary extra training and mentoring bonuses - 3x mentoring phone calls 1-1 with me, 3x exclusive training audios, plus 12x months’ personal email support.

She couldn’t believe her luck that she was getting all this right now but I told her, “We all make our own luck. This is your reward for never giving up on your dream.”

Dee was a bit worried that she would have to book all her 1-1 mentoring calls right now for the next 3 months. But I don’t work like that. So we took into account all her mom’s hospital visits, school holidays, family birthdays, etc. and booked the first call for the end of May.

That will give Dee plenty of time to watch all the DVDs, listen to the CDs, read the thousands of notes and online resources and be ready with a list of questions for me, without compromising what is most important to her and Bill – their family life.

What about you?

  • Have you given up on your dream?
  • Or are you ready to grasp the mettle and do what you’ve been put on the planet for?

I’m here to help if I can but only you can make the decision.

My advice?

Stop faffing about and JUST DO IT.

By the way

Last week, Sarah from Australia bought Ladies’ Style in a Box and she’s getting exactly the same bonuses as Dee.

Sarah’s first 1-1 mentoring call is in 3 weeks’ time so she’s decided to go hell for leather as she wants to recoup her investment and increase her income as quickly as possible.

Sharon from the UK had already trained in both colour analysis and style but really felt her business was barking up the wrong tree (her words, not mine).

She’s been thinking of getting some personalised training and coaching for some time but thought it was going to cost her a lot more than this, so she was really pleased that I’ve also made the training and mentoring package available for her at such an affordable price.

Our first call is next week – so I’d better start sharpening my pencil!

 





If you want 3 months of no-cost mentoring with me

Monday, February 27th, 2012 by Kim Bolsover

Whether you’re just starting with colour analysis or personal style, planning to start your own image business, or already established, are you:

  • Feeling overwhelmed with too much to do?
  • Wanting to check with someone else how you’re doing with your colour and style skills?
  • Needing to build your confidence?
  • Struggling to find customers?

I’ve been through all the above, and lots more besides, so I know how you feel.

You’re probably sat there wondering how on earth you’re going to get your business known so that you attract a never-ending stream of happy customers and an income to match.

I’ve poured far too much time and money down the drain on useless marketing because I didn’t have a clue what I was doing.

I spent years like that until I finally invested in a personal mentor and only then did my business begin to finally take off.

My mentors have taught me how to put together a successful business that suits ME. Now I work with the people I want to, when I want to, where I want to, and how I want to.

So what are you going to do about it? Getting grumpy about your lack of success won’t solve anything. Hiding under the duvet certainly won’t help either.

So why not let me help you?

I want you to know how someone looking in from the outside can see so much more than you ever could. That’s exactly what happened to me, and it changed my life and my business forever.

I’ve been mentoring image consultants (and other businesses too) for many years and what I can bring to you is 32 years’ experience of running my own image, colour and style business and training hundreds of consultants across the globe.

There’s an incredible amount of insider business and marketing knowledge here that you can access which could propel your business forward faster than you ever thought possible. But only… if you would like me to help you.
