101 Reasons to be Yourself

Do you want to live a life of no regrets?

We have a new addition to www.101reasonstobe.com – ‘No Regrets 101‘, a 28-day course in discovering and living your dreams. It’s not about money – that’s covered in the upcoming, ‘Cash Control 101′, for those who may not have learned the basic money-management skills known by the financially stable and debt-free among us.

So, what’s this all about?

‘No Regrets 101‘ is a chance to loosen up, lighten up, dream and remember that we live in a world of unlimited possibilities. We get so serious and tied up with ‘grown-up’ issues, rules and expected behaviors that many of us honestly forget that it is never too late to try something and that we have a right to be happy.

What do you wish you could do? Start a business? Play the guitar? Learn a language? Go dog-sledding? Change careers? Write a book? Go back to school? Paint? Redecorate your house? Travel the world? ‘No Regrets 101‘ means no limits, whatsoever.

In 28 days, through resources and activities provided on a weekly basis, all you have to do is follow along with an open mind and the desire to be happily living your dream. Who doesn’t want that? You will be able to post to the forums and attend the online chats – you’ll find many people, like yourself, who want to try something and will also thrive with a little help from an anonymous community.

“My friends think I’m foolish to want to change my life. What if I need more help after this? I mean, it’s pretty hard to change when everyone wants you to stay the same.”

Once you have graduated from ‘No Regrets 101‘, and find that an ongoing supportive community is what you need to stay on track, check out ‘No Limits’. You’ll get one activity or suggestion every week, along with open forums and chat rooms to stimulate and support your creative adventures. Enrollment is *free* for 3 months if you complete ‘No Regrets 101′!

You may be wondering who I am and what makes me such an expert.

If you have been following this blog, you will know that I have a very strong interest in seeing people, myself included, happily following their dreams. Less than 10 years ago, I was bored, depressed, resentful and well, pretty much miserable. My relationships seemed largely dysfunctional and nothing made me happy. Ever since I was a small child, I knew I wanted to be a writer, but never had the gumption to try it, and it became clear to me that this was the root of my misery. All those voices of relatives, teachers and society in general from earlier days had convinced me that being a writer was frivolous, nothing more than a hobby and that if I planned to be a writer, I’d better be a famous one. So I tried to fit in and get real jobs, be a regular grown-up and a ‘responsible’ member of society.

At the age of 30, an artist friend who was struggling to rediscover his creative spark gave me a couple of ideas that sent me off on the road of no regrets. I started painting and wrote two novels as well as a small-business workbook in the following year. They weren’t all that good, but I was finally writing! Next, I decided to do something about the songs in my head that needed to get out, so I bought a guitar and spent my evenings for the following 6 months tucked away in my cabin learning to sing, write and play my tunes. A year after that, I had a recording grant, my first paid gig and the rock band that I’d play festivals & record with over the next 4 years. Along the way, over those 4 years, I started a home-based music promotion business, picked up more grants, gigs and radio play and ended up with my own CD release party.

A year later, I wrote another (still languishing) novel and the year after that, wrote and self-published “101 Reasons to be Yourself“, along with learning to build my own website. This all happened while I was carrying on the usual life activities of dating, working at various jobs, relaxing, volunteering and all that other stuff we do to live in this world.

I practice what I teach!

Whatever you will be doing in these courses, I’ve done it myself – more than once, just to get the hang of an entirely new mindset. The guide book is downloadable so you can use it again, whenever you find yourself getting wrapped up in the rat race. If that happens, don’t beat yourself up about it. Just get back on track. You know, it’s kind of like riding a bike – once you catch on, you never forget…you might put the bike in the shed for a couple of years, but you still know how to ride it.
