Living Your Dream Life isn't all it's cracked up to be...

Do you know what it takes to live your dreams? Can you honestly say you wake up every day living the life you love?

My name is Shanel Cooper-Sykes and I am a dreamer.  I’ve been a dreamer for more than 20 years.

My entire life, I have been on a mission to make my dreams real. I was determined to make something out of my life. One day, about 7 years ago, I packed up everything and moved to New York City with nothing but a suitcase and a dream. In my head I thought my leap of faith was my ticket to success, and that I’dfinally be living my dreams. Little did I know that actually LIVING your dreams was much different than what I’d envisioned.

After several years of trying, failing and making many mistakes, I finally self-published my first book: Stilettos in the Kitchen. Fast forward to today: I’ve sold thousands of copies of self-published books, taught thousands of women all over the world, and I’ve experienced a ton of success.

Now, most people will hear that and say "Wow, Shanel- You made it." And they would think my life is super fabulous and perfect. Yet, while all of that is wonderful, I’ve discovered that living your dream is not about making a ton of money, or living a fabulous life. Nor does it mean that once you achieve your dream, everything will be perfect, wonderful or easy.  Most people equate living their dreams with things like money, fame, expensive cars, and big houses. But I discovered that that is not what the reality of living your dream is about.  And, that’s certainly not what authentic dreams are made of. 

Living your dream is about being in the constant pursuit of doing what you love. It’s about being unstoppable while staying focused and committed to the contribution you want to make to the world.

There are a few big misconceptions that most people make when it comes to living their dreams:

Misconception #1: Confusing your dreams with your desires. A nice car, big bank account or racks of Louboutins is a desire. But the dream is what you must accomplish to actually HAVE those things.

Misconception #2: Thinking that the “realization of your dream” is your final destination. Success is a journey, not a destination. Living your dreams is a full life commitment. It never ends. Even when you begin to make money, or achieve fame (whatever that is!)---you are still in pursuit of the dream.

Misconception #3: Thinking that bringing your dreams into reality is something that happens overnight . People think that if they just take ONE leap of faith that will be it, and they’ll make it." A real dreamer doesn't just take one leap of faith. As a matter of fact, dreamers stop "leaping" and they EMBODY FAITH!!!

Being a dreamer means waking up every day knowing that what you have to contribute is necessary. It’s about being in the constant pursuit of giving and sharing whatever your gift, talent or skill is. And with that pursuit comes this thing called LIFE. Bills, relationships, hardships, struggles, the obstacles, the failures, the disappointments, the setbacks. But real dreamers don't let these things stop the pursuit. They manage it while in the pursuit.

My journey has definitely been a challenging one.  I’ve failed many times.  But, no matter what - no matter how many times I failed - I never stopped.  No matter how many times I’ve fallen - or how hard I’ve fallen - I’ve always gotten up, brushed myself off and kept moving.

This is the true essence of a dreamer. A dreamer knows that her contribution is necessary. So, by any means necessary a dreamer is going to persevere. A dreamer is going to create. A dreamer is going to be unstoppable. A dreamer is going to keep going until the dream is real. And THAT is really what success is all about.

I took a very UN-NORMAL path to making my dreams real, and I want to share my secrets with you. I did things that average people would never do. A mentor of mine once told me, "If you don't want to be normal, look at what normal people do and don't do that." So I did everything OPPOSITE from what most people think it takes to make your dreams real.

Now, I've put together 7 of my most valuable secrets and I invite you to join me live for one week as I guide you, day by day, through this 7-day series of revelations. Here are a few things you will learn:
