Permission to Self....

What does success at KidBookInk look like?

Well, Fifth in from the left, front row is a young lady named Hannah. The stage she is singing from is the Opera House in Sydney Australia.

She didn't write a best seller, but she did write a plan. Her plan got her where she wanted to be!

Sydney!

She raised nearly all of the $4,500.00 she needed to go -- herself,-- at the age of 11, in less than 6 months. Did she have some help? Sure she did. But, she had a plan, and she put in the time and effort to make it a reality.

Virtually all of us have something we want to do, but we don't give ourselves permission to do it. KidBookInk is designed to allow kids, and adults, to give themselves permission to get out of our own way, and go do what we dream about, or believe in.

Writing, Art, Music, Invention, and Video are tough. All of it is taught, but nobody teaches you how to feed yourself from it. Honestly, it's not difficult, but one has to put some effort into it.

Hannah gets told all the time, she'll be the next American Idol. Frankly, I'm not sure she's interested. She loves to sing, and perform. Her next 'goal' is to sing the National Anthem at Jacob's Field in Cleveland. She has auditioned. She's waiting for the word to go. She's given herself 'permission' to try. How many of us haven't? Or worse, won't.

One of my blog comments asks, "Does this really work?" I can honestly say, yes it does, but only if you do too. I'll help you, and that's part of the difference. Support.

Get out there and live your dream today. Whatever it is. Come here and share it with us. Share your frustrations too.

Dave and the Team at KidBookInk.
