You are here because you are curious, because you are born to be a dreamer, and because you are seeking the art of creating your dream life. But, we all know that the process of making our dreams come true process is no different to the one of planting the seeds for the fruit and vegetables we want to have in our garden.

If we want the seeds we plant to grow so that one day we can harvest the fruit and vegetables that nurture our body-mind, then we all know that once the seeds are planted, we ought to spend the time that is required to consistently nurture those seeds.

The art of creating your dream is no different to this process. Give it a go, and see how your destiny changes.

Eleanor Roosevelt, the longest-serving First Lady of the United States once said:

“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.”

Deep inside your mind, heart and soul you know you have a dream you believe in, an inspired purpose, vision and a calling that you would love to bring into reality and into the world.

But, as the societal indoctrination takes hold, many of us stop believing in our abilities; we doubt ourselves, and become afraid to dream big. And I mean really big.

According to the Scranton University research, did you know that a staggering 92% of people that set New Year’s goals never actually achieve them and 98% of people die without fulfilling their dreams.

That is billions of people who are killing trillions of dreams.

I’ve done it many times, and if you’re like me — a driven, type-A entrepreneur — failing to meet goals can set you back and leave you discouraged and frustrated.

My aim for this blog is to share three principles I have used to not only make my own dreams come true but also the dreams of the many of my clients from all around the world.

One of these clients that I helped make their dream come true is Joel Van der Molen, the MD of Vandercom, with whom we recently launched into the world “Living My Illusion”, a real life, thought provoking, and mind blowing coaching documentary series. Once a childhood dream it now became Joel’s reality.

It is only you who can take the same decision as Joel did two years ago that can put you on a path to realize your dreams.

Here is a fraction of the journey that led me to discover the art of creating my dream life. Let me share with you just one of my dreams that it took over forty years to realize, but I did it, and I know you can too.

I was born in a ghetto area of Gostivar, a small town in western Macedonia, and as a boy, I dreamed about three things: becoming a heart surgeon, an engineer who travels the world and works for the betterment of humanity. I dreamt that one day I will speak at the United Nations about the importance of preserving the sanctity of a human life.

My parents who were restaurant owners instilled in me the importance of education and listening to my heart played a significant role in achieving my dreams. By the age of ten, I already knew how to cook, work the land, and sell homemade farm produce to the local gypsy community.

Even then, I knew that someday my dreams would lead me to travel the world and work for the betterment of humanity. I felt it so deep in my soul. At the age of twelve, following an illness that kept me bed ridden in a hospital for over two years, I knew I will write a life manual, like people make manuals for fixing TV and Radio sets.

Then, in my late teens, the horror of civil war fell upon us – to save my life, my mother put me on a one-way flight to London; however, with very little money in my pocket, I had to live homelessly on the streets.

On this journey, I faced some of the worst adversity that life can throw at you. I experienced injustice, bullying, war horrors, homelessness and many disappointments, fears, rejections, and the feeling of abandonment.

But misfortune is often the catalyst that leads to powerful change, that’s what happened to me. I went from feeling alone, desperate, and hopeless to graduating with honors, successfully leading multi-billion pound IT programs, writing two best-selling books, travel globally and take people on a journey to boldly go where alone they are afraid to go.

Overcoming many of my life’s adversities also gave me the knowledge, tools, and the wisdom that kept pushing me against seemingly impenetrable boundaries and I believe that’s possible for you, too – for every one of us.

It is what I dedicate my life to, assisting others to breakthrough perceived limits and realizes their dreams, whatever they may be.

To help you on your journey, here are the three transformational principles you can use to master the art of making your dreams come true:

1. Exercise the power of choice; deep down you know you can choose to break through what’s blocking your path.
   2. Thrive to daily educate your mind. It is why you landed on this blog. It is what can help you efficiently learn how to use your time.
   3. You are the most important person in your life. Learn to love the unlovable in you, make a list of all the things you dislike about you and do something about it. It is what will synchronize your body, mind and heart.

Once these three core principles become habitual for you, you start to master the art of creating your dreams.

It took me forty years of consistently pushing through every adversity but also learning, training, and educating my mind. I went from being homeless to writing two bestselling and award-winning books. It is what gave birth to A Path to Wisdom and a year down the line to #Loneliness and what contributed towards being invited to speak at the United Nations in New York.

I am feeling so excited that my other dream, to be a TEDx speaker, is about to come true. I am among 37 speakers from 3 countries including Australia, British Virgin Islands and the United Kingdom and 14 states including California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah and Virginia who will be giving 35 talks which are guaranteed to change, inspire, and enrich your life..

I would love you to join me, be part of this amazing conference, and meet inspirational speakers. Click HERE to grab your tickets now and be one of those I helped and made their dreams come true.

Opportunities related to your dreams will be secured in any endeavor you choose to dedicate yourself to. Because, I believe, it is your commitment, consistency, and a grateful heart that lights up your path and makes you a shining star.

Remember, Creating Your Dream is Not a Choice-It is Your Destiny.

I thank you and love you.

As your trusted coach I can ensure that you have an epic 2017 and beyond by helping you learn principles that can accelerate your personal, professional and business growth.

In my day to day work coaching clients from all walks of life I am often asked if I was always so certain, so accepting, and so clear with the vision and my personal mission in life. I also get asked if we are born to be lucky, to be successful, or to be entrepreneurs, leaders, or kings and queens.

Many of my clients also wonder why is it that some people can look, feel, and perform better than others? What choices do I or my successful clients make that can help us grow and become more successful?

Let me share with you my personal story. Recently I was interviewed on the Voice of America Radio Show and was asked the question: What was the secret to my success of going from Waking Up to War, Walking the Streets to Winning Ways?

Here is what I shared….Let’s face it, life as we know it can be harsh, difficult and full of many struggles, but what people often forget it is also exciting, fun, adventurous and full of opportunities that are all around us.

The truth of the matter is that some people choose to enforce the story of lack, difficulty and no opportunities and continue to live that way. Others, on the other hand choose to seize every opportunity presented to them, act on the opportunities presented to them, and continue to fail forward until they achieve the success they are seeking.

This is what helped me and the many entrepreneurs such Baybars Altuntas go from zero to hero, from what Baybars explained in his in inspirational talk “How to make your first Million” how in 24 months he went from stepping of the buss to stepping into a BMW and creating the success and the abundance he know enjoys and has in his life.

Organized by lovely Mirela Sula the CEO and founder of Migrant Women Magazine and sponsored by Regent’s Business School in this talk Baybars shared how seizing every opportunity, calculating every business move, and being persistent took him all the way to the white house and meeting president Barack Obama.

The truth is we are all born with all that we need to become successful entrepreneurs, leaders, and have an abundant life. We all can make a choice to learn, grow and seize every opportunity presented, or we can cultivate a victim mindset.

It is three years ago when I started my entrepreneurial journey, of course there were many challenges, setbacks and people trying to discourage me from perusing my passion and delivering the mission that I knew from a very young age.

Having faced redundancy in 2009 I had time to reflect, I hired a coach and got clear about the vision and the mission I was here on our planet to deliver. I wrote it down, I put it in my book A Path to Wisdom, Aligned my values, actions and habits with the vision and the mission ahead of me. I remained focused and each time I was facing obstacles, I knew that the pain of not delivering the vision was greater than the pain I had to go through to overcome these obstacles.

Today, five years later on I enjoy the fruits of every seed that I sow on the way, I now travel internationally coaching, mentoring, speaking and helping people from all walks of life heal emotional and physical pain, get clear on their vision, and help them live an inspired life. Since the launch of my book “A Path to Wisdom-How live a balanced, healthy and peaceful life” it reached Amazon No 1 and been endorsed by people from all aroudn the world. I am now in process of writing two more books.

Now, if you too are ready to step into your power, make your first Million, and live an abundant life here are this list of 12 habits that I observed whilst coaching and studying my high performers clients and I personally used to to help me go from waking Up to War, walking the streets to winning ways:

12 HABITS OF HIGH PERFORMERS

1. Seize every opportunity, follow up, do the action. Adopting this habit helps you get away from being in your head to actually doing things. It’s no good of spending 90% of your time thinking about success and 10% of your time doing things to become successful entrepreneur. Choose to reverse this order and make sure you seize every opportunity presented.

2. Dedication. While they might not always feel like it, high performers will work out no matter what. It doesn’t mean they’re in the gym for two hours every day, it just means they stick to doing something four to five times a week. Sometimes it’s thirty or forty-five minutes of high-intensity and calling it a day. Bottom line, the high performers are consistent and dedicated because working out has been made a priority in their daily routine.

3. Say Yes to Life. When opportunities are presented, recognize them and always say Yes. Often we meet people and fail to explore the reasons why this person entered our life. Paying attention, building relationships and keeping in touch can lead to many doors being opened that create new adventures, experienced and partnerships.

4. Adopt “I can do it” attitude. As the old saying goes “The way you do one thing is the way you do everything”, changing your attitude not only helps you becoming more open, positive and approachable, but also you start to radiate that energy to everyone you meet. Let’s face it who does not like to be with people who are open and have I can do attitude?

5. Be persistent and consistent. Develop a Systematic Approach- Would you ever think that since you brushed your teeth yesterday, you don’t need to brush them today? Of course not. There are certain aspects of being a leader and a successful entrepreneur that must be repeated over and over again. It does require the same systematic approach and high performance individuals get this phenomenon.

6. Put the right Systems in Places. High performers understand that life isn’t always about all or nothing. I’ve seen people who think missing a workout means they should throw in the towel and head to the nearest fast food drive thru. Just because you miss one day in the gym doesn’t mean you are off track. To be a high performer, it means you realize the little decisions made on a daily basis are what add up to huge success over the months and years ahead and that having the right systems in place will help them reach their goals over time.

7. Know that success is a cleverly and rationally calculated outcome. No business can exist without knowing the figures and doing the calculations that are necessary to become profitable business venture and a successful entrepreneur.

8. Keep the emotions out of business. Having coached thousands of people, the most common mistakes I see my clients make is being emotional and getting emotionally attached to their work, business or product. This is fatal behaviour that can render your ability to make the right decisions, attract the right customers and remain balanced.

9. Always innovate. In today’s world that Is driven by innovation, it is essential to invest in innovation and think 5, 10 or even 20 years down the line. Most successful businesses, leaders and entrepreneurs are great at innovating. I am currently writing two more books that are a solution to a global problem that is at the root cause of the many issues that we all face such as addictions, fear from terrorism, and the desire to consume more and more products that cause many illnesses.

10. Focus on customer. I grew up by parents who owned few restaurants and taught me to love, respect and always meet the needs of the customer. Without a customer there is no business, there is no leader, there is no entrepreneur. Whatever you do, keep your customer at the centre of your business, listen to the feedback and make the necessary changes that improves your product or service.

11. Have Good sense of humour. Everyone wants to be around an easy going entrepreneur, enjoying a good sense of humour is key to developing close relationships. This is just another habit you can develop that can help you stand out in a room full of high achievers and attract likeminded partners, customers and opportunities. Laughing also benefits your health, reduces pressure, and increases happiness levels.

12. Have a coach that can inspire you to Unleashe Your True Potential. High performers don’t see their investment in coaching as money going out, they see it as abundance, wisdom and knowledge coming in. They see coaching as a way to feel amazing, achieve maximum productivity, optimal performance, and equip with tools that supports them in their day to day life! A great Life Coach places much higher emphasis on matchign your values with your vision, the feelings that get generated by fullfiling your vision and defocuses you from your perceived limitations or restrictions. It’s essential to invest in coaching and surround yourself with like-minded individuals who believe in you, your dream and your entrepreneurial journey.

All of the above helped me remain on track to becoming a Key Person of Influence and a successful Entrepreneur. I developed the ability to solve more problems. So the trick to becoming more successful is to know how to resolve more problems, the bigger the problems you resolve the greater your vision becomes.

Remember, high performers don’t give into peer pressure to abandon their goals. They do not fall into the trap of being brought down by other people’s opinions of their health efforts. If your family, friends or people you spend most of your time with have a problem with your lifestyle changes or can’t be supportive of your goals, you might want to consider seeking new friends.

As you adopt all of the above healthy habits you are rewarded with the value you are generating and giving to the world through resolving bigger problems and providing solutions.

Make sure you get to know you, your abilities, and the skills you have that enables you to be a top problem solver in your area of expertise.

Now that you’ve read my twelve habits of high performers, do you feel like you fall within this category? Are there things on this list that you need to work on? Take stock of your daily habits and let me know if you have any questions.

Tony J Selimi

I just got back from Israel where i was visiting and coaching a very close friend of mine Amir who i met in London 15 years ago. Since then, so much has happened, changed and we have both evolved as spiritual beings.

Back then we were both in our early 30’s, full of life and we were both doing something different from what we are doing now. Although our paths have taken us to different directions, one thing for sure has not changed is our friendship, closeness and the Love we share for one another.

We had few great conversations the other day about his current challenges he was facing in his personal life and the direction he wanted to take in his career. We talked at length about what he wants to create in 10 years’ time, and got some clarity on what kind of jobs he needed to do to achieve his dream. One thing for sure we all have a choice and must think about who we chose to serve and what that means for the work you may be currently doing.

This trip gave me a lot of food for thought; it also gave me an idea of what I wanted to share with you in this post.

As i am writing this blog post I’m drinking a delicious vanilla shake from Juice Plus that my very dear friend Farhan got for me to try. I must confess it is tasty though….I am reflecting on the week gone, the people i helped and also planning my next year.

What i have noticed with myself and many thousands of clients i have helped so far is: once people focus all of their energy in their chosen path, they naturally become clearer about the next steps and have a lot of energy. They start feeling more confident each day, feel proud about what they have achieved and start to consciously choose and make the choices that helps them remain on their chosen path no matter what.

I can tell you for sure it is not easy to remain on your chosen path as by the second we get easily distracted, this is where working with a good life coach can help you overcome those challenges and purposefully move forward.

So what about you? Are you clear about your path?

Your path is the deep alignment of your values and beliefs with the pursuit of your missions and goals. For some people, just thinking about all that is a bit tricky, because maybe you’re working at some “job” that doesn’t really match your intentions. Maybe you’re stuck somewhere. Or maybe you’re in between pursuits.

More dangerously, maybe you have no clue what path matters to you.

How do you find a path?

We could probably create a framework to do that. I’m sure someone or other sells such a thing. But let’s just make one right now. Here are the ingredients which i share in my book A Path to Wisdom, which you will have to answer (please don’t just read this. Take a moment and jot some responses to yourself – or to me!):

• What actions or activities make you happiest?
• What actions or activities make time seem to disappear?
• Do you prefer working with people or alone?
• In what ways do you prefer to serve others? (For instance, I work much better with groups than one-on-one, though I can do both).
• Where have you seen even the smallest glimmer of impact from your actions when you’ve done something? (What has made a difference?)

Does this get you thinking? Does it fill you with despair? Do you have regrets that bubble right to the top?

Believe it or not, the thoughts that don’t immediately align with the questions above might be more valid than the actual answers to what I asked of you. Listen. Don’t throw anything away for a moment. Just listen to what your insides are telling you. That’s the work of figuring out your path.

Working on my own business, with so many business owners, and many entrepreneurs i came to understand the business implications of not understanding your path.

I shifted from doing consulting projects with big companies (I still do some, when asked, but I’m not actively seeking them) to working as Elite Life Coach, Mentor and Spiritual Healer with a range of individuals from all walks of life. I did that because I love what i do. I like working with likeminded professionals who seek to improve their capabilities, no matter where they are in the corporate hierarchy or work for themselves.

This wasn’t entirely easy. It’s harder for people to decide to invest in their own personal development when it comes from their own wallet, instead of when they willingly spend corporate pounds. It’s harder still because sometimes, people have been employees in servitude for so long that they don’t realize that investments in their growth almost always yield MORE money than what was spent in the process.

I am asked so many times the question: how did i become a Life Coach? Well i invested a lot of time, money, and energy. I have my own coach, mentor, PT and healer. Growing, expanding and learning is a lifelong process. So right now let go of the idea that you know it all, and if you have not got a coach get one and invest in your chosen path.

But that was a choice. That’s the path I took. And I’m thrilled to serve you because it’s always a lot more rewarding than watching great ideas sink into the blur of daily corporate life.

The same is true for you. You have to know the business implications of your path. Can you make money doing what you want to do? Can you find buyers? If you can demonstrate value, the answer is always yes. It just might take a while for it to come.

Tell me about your path.

And if you want to make yours solid and highly profitable, read “A Path to Wisdom-How to live a balanced, healthy and peaceful life” or get in touch and book a two hour discovery coaching session. I’d love to see you on your path to higher levels of consciousness with me.

If you see yourself in any of the above, get in touch now to start your Elite Life Coaching or your spirit healing journey with me. Together, you too can change your circumstances and start living your best Life.
