How To Become A Doer Instead Of A Dreamer

There is one thing I have figured out over the years, there are Doer’s and there are Dreamer’s. There is Oprah and there is her next door neighbour when she was 18, I guess the neighbour just dreamt of taking over the world, Oprah actually had a go at it (I can’t back that up but you get what I mean). I wanted to start a Mum blog, I knew nothing about blogging, and I am not IT savvy, I have just fumbled my way through it because I wanted to be a Doer. Today I am sharing with you some other stay at home Mum’s who have had a go at an idea they had and actually acted on rather than dreamt about. Hopefully it may motivate you to start something you have been dreaming about but talk yourself out of.

Sue Ismiel – Nad’s Wax. To go to the extreme, there is Australia’s Sue Ismiel, as a stay at home Mum who created Nad’s wax in her kitchen to remove unwanted hair. She then started selling her product at markets and fast forward 20 years is exporting globally and her whole family is involved with the company. I was invited to Sue’s latest product launch as a Blogger to review the product and to enter her competition to become Nad’s First Blogging Ambassador. I am proud to say I was a semi finalist in her comp, not bad for a baby blogger. Here is my post on attending the product launch here (read it this will make more sense).

Bec Platt – Coloured Pears. This is my gorgeous sister-in-law who has recently become a stay-at-home Mum after having her first bub. She had a background in design and became a Doer when she and her Mum set up Coloured Pears where they sell beautiful art work. Have a look here for her work. Coloured Pears.

Paula Bunt – Red Elm. My beautiful friend has just started making and selling handmade girls clothing. Self taught Paula loves to sew creating little outfits and became a Doer when she decided to offer them for sale.  A stay at home Mum to two she has just made her debut as a business selling her pieces.                   Have a look here for her work. Red Elm

Kim Manno – Can Do Cakes. A friend I made at the gym, a stay at home Mum to three last year started her own cake making business. Kim makes great cakes and each new one I see I think how does she do that!           Have a look here for her work Can do Cakes

 

So here are just four examples (5 if you include me) of stay at home Mum’s who had an idea, but rather than just think about it, actually went out and made it happen. I think I need to think of something better as I don’t make a cent from this stinking blog! If you have an idea, dream or concept, take the leap of faith and turn yourself in to a Doer and your idea into a reality. Don’t be scared any longer, the only one holding you back is yourself and once you learn that you will learn that you can in fact do anything you put your mind to. Just because you are a stay at home Mum now doesn’t mean that’s all you are, if you have an idea, or a dream don’t be scared to turn it in to a reality.
