Closing the 18-Inch Gap Podcast-EP064: Unlocking the dreamer’s path to success just for you!

Today’s episode was inspired by all things, a loan offer I received in the mail a few days ago. It reminded me of ways so many people can get caught up in the moment when they are trying to make their dreams come true.

But first I want to remind you that  I’m not only your host for today, I’m also  your Dream Realization Partner, and today we’re diving into what I call The D-Factor—the powerful words starting with the letter D that can either derail your dreams or drive them forward. This episode is going to explore 20 of these words—10 that challenge us and 10 that empower us. Get ready for a deep dive that might just change how you see your dream—and yourself.”

Quote of the week:

“You'll know you're on the scent of a worthwhile, lasting ambition when the strong scent of a smoldering fire wouldn't dampen your resolve to build it twice even before you had built it for the first time.”

― Bob Goff, Dream Big: Know What You Want, Why You Want It, and What You’re Going to Do About It

Some will challenge you. Others will champion you.
But all of them—when understood—can shape you.
Your dream isn’t just possible. It’s waiting on the version of you who’s ready.
Until next time—keep daring, keep developing, and most of all, keep dreaming.”
