Learning How to Make Your Dreams Your Pathway: Interview with Sheila Balgobin.
I have had numerous dreams that I wake up with fragments of the same and I dismiss them as just my mind not resting well. Other times I have had such vivid dreams I think about them for days. Yet I cannot say I have had a dream that saved my life, literally.
In this episode of the Your Power echoes Show, I had a chat with Sheila Balgobin. Sheila grew up and worked on Wall Street for years as a successful banker, yet she did not feel successful. Sheila Turned her life around following a move to London and her travels and spiritual seeking took her to other places including Africa.

Qn1. Why do you Love the Home Business Industry, Blogging and/or Entrepreneurship in General??
I love being my own boss – I can do what I love in the best way for me, in my own rhythm
Qn2. What has been your biggest Epiphany or AHA Moment in your entrepreneurial/blogging Journey thus far?
I needed to learn that I already had all the tools I needed to be successful, I just needed to employ them in a better way

Qn5. What do you think is worse? Lack of Focus or Lack of Training in Entrepreneurship?
I believe lack of focus comes first, closely followed by lack of training. You can’t get trained in something until you know what you wish to do

Qn10. What would you do if you had to start over from Zero? And you had only $500 what would you do with it?

I like what she said: “Being who I am, doing what I love and people loving me for it”.
That’s also been my driving factor. I’ve always allowed passion to fuel my energy for work and this has allowed me to put forward, good quality work. The part where people love what I do is a nice plus. It validates your work and it’s not really necessary but it is hope for.
And lastly, this is best done by being true to yourself.
We love your insights and Indeed we all love to do what we love, while staying true to ourselves and People oving us for it is validation.
We love that 🙂
Jules
Love the line about what success is and being who you are. Very important to remember.
