So Many Ideas<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the road to success? I have been told so many times that I am a dyslexic daydreamer, this will go on forever. Yes, I dream of being a pop star like Cher standing with my hairbrush. In front of the mirror singing away while doing my housework. Also, I dream of being a great fashion designer. Sitting and doodling away to help pass the time while feeling highly creative.
I am truly fortunate to be a great cook and love making tapas for my friends. Laughter and shenanigans listening to the Gyspy Kings and sitting with a glass of wine or seven! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Success Drivers<\/strong><\/gwmw><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of my heroes is Richard Branson<\/a>, he makes success look so easy! This is due to having lots of brilliant people around him to help him achieve the goals which are in his head.
My romantic ideas end up turning into a horror movie. Yes, I get myself ready, miss the big sign saying it\u2019s a trap and end up in a novel which could only be written by Stephen King<\/a>.
So after the big bucket of gulp had fallen out of the sky and covered me. I want to tap my red ruby slippers together and shout there is no place like home and hide under the duvet. I then realised I had forgotten the ruby slippers and had to stand while everyone was laughing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But this has never stopped me! I ended up on the radio twice. The first time was at the Edinburgh Festival<\/a> for drive time with Simon Mayo<\/a> and Jo Wiley<\/a>. I put my name in the hat for the quiz for a laugh never thinking I would be picked. My friends were falling about laughing as the staff of the show came over saying I was going to be on stage for the quiz! A large glass of wine would be required for courage. The prizes up for grabs were a mug and a badge So, I knew I would win the badge due to my short-term memory being rubbish.
So, I thought I had had my 15 seconds of fame! Then I entered a funny story on Heart radio<\/a>. Invited to talk to Robin Galloway and Adele Cunningham about my X- relationship as a bit of furniture. It was easy using my imagination and eventually, that so-called good-looking piece of furniture was dumped outside and someone else took it. I have found I have a new confidence that people now say wow! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ongoing Journey<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think the biggest secret to success is being happy with yourself.\u00a0
This is easier said than done due to your processing. People find you frustrating and difficult. They do not understand what it is they are after to achieve the goal.
I now see why dyslexics either start up their own business or hide in a job which is easy. This is so no one notices the processing difference.
I have decided I am going to get a job with\u00a0Edna Mode<\/a>\u00a0and help her design super suits for superhero darling!<\/gwmw><\/gwmw><\/p>\n\n\n\n
