124: Living in Paris with Devon Smiley

August 16, 2016

Have you ever had a daydream while sitting at your work desk in your office, letting your imagination runs wild and think about all the wonderful things that you could do, down to the very tiny details? It could be a business idea that you wanted to work on, or it could be a dream trip to a place that you have always wanted to go. Whichever the case may be, the most important thing is to not only to dream but to take actions to realize those dreams.
I’m excited to have Devon Smiley here with us today, to share about her wonderful experience of her Paris Trip, and the whole process of planning and how she felt after the trip. As a brief introduction, Devon is a negotiation consultant for ambitious entrepreneurs who are ready to stop getting the short end of the stick when they do business.
Devon had a dream, not exactly the most ambitious dream out there, but one that she truly wanted to achieve and she is absolutely sure that making that dream come true will certainly be a strong boost of energy into her life.
In today’s episode, Devon happily shares the experience of her Paris trip, including:

* How she turned her daydream, which is a trip to Paris, into a reality.
* The issues and concerns that came up during the planning process of her trip.
* How she managed to overcome the resistances and the self-doubts that she was facing and proceed with her plan.
* Her wonderful and rejuvenating experience in Paris and how she spend her relaxing days there.
* The work arrangement that she came up with her boss so that she can go on with this dream trip.
* How taking actions on her small daydreams build up her confidence to take on bigger challenges in her life.
