What is something you’ve always wanted to do that you’ve never done? That question, right there, can change the trajectory of someone’s life, which it did for my guest on today’s episode, Vicky Weber. Vicky, like most of us, was an educator, but had dreams of doing something bigger. However, it wasn’t until her husband asked her that question that she pursued her dream of writing children’s books.

One of the fears of people following their dreams is failure and not feeling like you have the right skills to succeed. Vicky shares her advice for pushing through and an important piece of advice for just starting. She details some setbacks and the adversity she overcame, and we circle it back to how teacher skills are once again, transferable to any profession and starting your own business.

Although writing children’s books and being a published author might not be your dream, take a note out of Vicky’s lesson plans and ask yourself, what is something you’ve always wanted to do that you’ve never done? Because really, the only person standing in the way of your dreams is you.
