Craig and Ashley discuss "The Dream Process" using a birth analogy: The Process:1. Conceiving2. Carrying3. Delivering The dream begins with conception where the idea is formed. It then moves into the carry stage where it is given more identity. Keys in this stage are setting goals and surrounding yourself with people who can challenge you and walk alongside you. Finally, you have to deliver the dream. This is the scariest part because you have to put it out there no matter what anyone thinks. We want to hear from you and what you are dreaming about. Head over to the Dream Corner to share what you are dreaming about and what stage of the process you are in!
