An Action Plan for Dreamers is a weekly 20-minute podcast where we provide practical and actionable advice about what it takes to create the life you crave. It’s short enough to listen on your commute or coffee break, but long enough to contain 3-5 practical steps you can take to make your dream life a little bit closer.

Thanks to Russ Kiel who performs our theme song every week. We sound better because of his tune.
Show Notes
It is amazing to think what an impact our parents had on our desire to follow our dreams. In looking back at both our lives we can easily spot those lessons, instilled by our parents, which led us to following our dreams.
We dive into the impact that parents have on their children’s desire to create the lives they create by going after their own. We are also joined by Ingrid Ricks, author of Hippie Boy, who shares how her children encouraged her to go after her dreams. Ingrid also shares how her decision to make her dream a reality has impacted her children. It is a compelling story for us all.
This is a great opportunity to appreciate how our parents have paved the way for our dreams. Plus, for all you parents out there to see how you can impact your kids by going after your own dreams now.
Action Plan Take Aways:
- Instead of focusing on the excuses, make a list of reasons why you “MUST” go after your dream and then build an action plan to make it happen.
- Don’t lock yourself into deadlines which you cannot control. Focus on action plans you can control.
- Remember that it is about the process, not just the end goal you are striving to achieve. Be open to the possibilites.

About Warren
All too true, for both positive and negative influences. Great insight.
Great point, Mike. The influences of our parents (and parents on their children) apply across the negative as well as the positive. It may not all be good but we can learn from it all.
