So you want to be a Billionaire

I had a dream this morning that I was training as Wendy Rhoades’ apprentice. Wendy Rhoades is the therapist turned performance coach for the multi-billion dollar hedge fund, Axe Capital. I was thrilled to be her protege.

Often people dismiss their dreams as just the mental composting of whatever show they watched the night before. If you’re not in the habit of taking your dreams seriously, this is an easy attitude to assume.

As I sat with the images of the dream, I noticed my ambition. Wouldn’t it be thrilling to be the consultant for ultra-high net worth individuals? What a wonderful fantasy for psyche to present to me.

Then I thought about the principle that every image of a dream represents a part of the personality. So there already is an Axe Capital somewhere inside of me, as well as a Wendy— an advisor, strategist and healer for the ultra-wealthy parts of my psyche.

Just contemplating this brings me a sense of grandeur. There are powerful forces inside of us that we’re generally unaware of. These latent potentials are what draw us to the art that we enjoy in the first place.
