How Does the Online Idea Party Work?

You have a dream or a wish, and an obstacle to getting there. (If you don’t think you know your wish, work through my kick-starter and read this post. To learn why you must put logic aside to find your dream, read the following.)

The online Idea Party is here to help you – and the other fellow party goers – with your wishes and obstacles.

Voices from Success Teams and Idea Parties:

Having a team to report to and hearing what everybody did each week is very exciting. It’s kept me moving all year. In the past I made some good starts on my own, but found, every time, when the energy ran out, I ran out. Now it doesn’t run out.

I would do a painting a year, a sketch a year. If it was only me I know I would never do it. Having to tell you makes all the difference. It’s crazy why I didn’t do this years ago, it’s so easy all of a sudden.

  1. Hey guys,
    ‘just saw Barbara’s Ted-X talk – INSPIRING!!!
    I live in a small town in Denmark (in Europe). I am dedicating myself to helping people get better with Emotion Code Therapy (which also encompasses remote healing), Access Consciousness Bars treatments and Japanese acupressure and I already independently work with these helping more often than not individuals with mental and emotional challenges. Especially children under 13 who I work on for free (as there seems to be a rising number of them with especially emotional challenges). Because of difficulties in my life I decided and learned that to be of service to others really is the way to channel and process what I’ve been through into something positive. I truly love the work that I do. My challenge is getting more clients here at home and internationally to really get this business up and running profitably. Anybody out there who could shed light?

  2. After graduating with my Associate’s degree in May, I will start an internship program in Oklahoma! Part of that internship is showing proficiency in Ministry fundraising! Below is the message I have written to hopefully inspire those who have known me to help support me in this new journey of my life! If you decide to donate, the GoFundMe is attached at the end of this message! I love Barbara’s message and I believe with your help we can make this dream a reality!

    I am beyond excited to share something special with you. As part of my Ministry internship, I need to show my proficiency in Ministry fundraising, and it’s a journey that cannot be started without your support!

    Some friends and I have an incredible opportunity ahead – we’re raising funds to travel to a retreat in Broken Bow, Oklahoma. We will be gathering with other young adults in a beautiful cabin, watching the 3rd season of The Chosen, and taking part in profound conversations about Jesus, God, and the Holy Spirit afterward.

    Our last experience was nothing short of amazing! We made new connections, shared wonderful moments, and heard eye-opening testimonies that touched our hearts. It was a truly transformative time.

    Now, we’re preparing for another weekend, and I can hardly contain my excitement! I believe this journey will be even more extraordinary, and I’d love for you to join us in making it happen. Your contribution, no matter the size, will play a crucial role in helping us reach this retreat and create more unforgettable memories.

    Let’s come together and make this opportunity a reality! Your support means the world to us, and we can’t wait to share the joy and inspiration that will undoubtedly come from this experience.

    We will be sharing a thank you video filled with highlights and insights from our retreat. We are excited to share all we are learning and experiencing with you!!

    Thank you for being part of our journey and helping us spread the light.

    With hope and anticipation,

    Summer Woods

  3. My dream is to create a small egalitarian village where there is beauty, bounty, justice and freedom, we regenerate the earth, and we share and have fun. I’m working on it already: It’s called STORYVILLE. My obstacle is that I need to focus on getting funding for this dream and I have a short attention span and get burnt out quickly. And there are a lot of volunteers and staff to manage too. https://www.storyvillefestival.com/

  4. I want to write a musical, but I don’t know how to do a lot of the parts. I’m just a songwriter. I play and direct music for local musical productions, but I fear that what I write won’t be any good or won’t be well-received. I stay really busy with work, and when I get home, I feel tired and uninspired. So my idea, which I started writing in 2015, just sits there.

    • If I were you, John, I would take a few breaths in, anchor into my body, focus on my chest area and then let myself go into the worst case scenario in my mind. (I am sure you have a few of them that you are keeping at bay. ) I would completely live out the shame and humiliation of being rejected. I would go through these scenarios and the feelings that arise until there is a feeling of relief ( which means that you just stopped resisting and repressing your deepest fears and have embraced them.)
      I would do this on a daily ( are you committed to this ?) until there is no emotional charge to it.
      There may be a wounded aspect in you that has gone through a similar situation in the past and is keeping you safe by distracting you with “more important” work.
      It would be great if you could do this with a friend that can be there for you as you go through the experience.

    • How about a Meetup group in a local cafe for musical lovers, where you ask if any of them have a dream of creating a musical but there’s some part of it they cannot do. If any say songwriting, you’ve got a possible partner.

  5. Hello dear friends,
    My wish is to find a new job that keeps me energized and leaves me enough money time and energy to do whatever I would love to do.
    My current job is in a toxic environment, and this I had been enduring for too long.
    I need a fast switch before I get too sick from this I can not bear another day at the moment

    Blockages
    – I feel too insecure about my capacities right now for other jobs too apply, due to the current work situation.
    – Not sure if I want to continue in IT (although the job itself was fine, only the bullying undermined my work and health)
    – I have a solid contract now with no end date, I will lose that when I change jobs (always starts with a temporarily agreement)
    – Am afraid that I will encounter the same toxicity again in a new job
    – almost two years ago I had a job at a restaurant I liked that more, the salary was not good enough to make a living so I had to return to my IT carreer
    – I feel blocked

    Never encounterd this kind of toxicity befor, If I only knew I would have left earlier (It was not soluble within in the company, me hoping it was kept me there longer than I should)

    How would I go best about this, quickly and with the best outcome for me

    • When getting out of a toxic job, the important part is getting out. If you land in a temporary spot or one you don’t feel you should stay in or one that doesn’t involve the interests you most want to pursue, that’s OK. Because you’ll be able to see the landscape very differently and with more curiosity and insight than you can in a toxic job. Just make the easiest move first.

      • That sounds good, thank you Patty. It feels better to look for anything to release myself from the current worksituation.

        I only have one requirement, that is that the income will be sufficient to pay my bills.

    • According to me, it’s very important to understand why you keep repeating a certain pattern ( the toxicity in your work) because, as you said yourself, it may come up in your future job, and that’s not the outcome that you want.
      I work with pattern so I can help you understand yours and see how to work with it.
      If you’re interested, we can meet online, see if my approach works for you and take it from there . My email : almazarchetypes@gmail.com
      Have a nice day,
      Almaz

      • Thank you Almaz, it is only that I don’t want to go into all this trouble of getting a new job with the result that this will happen again. This kind of situation had never happened to me before in all my career. And I never want it to work in this kind of workenvironment again. That is my only fear now

  6. I have a few ideas that i am interested in pursuing and was wondering if there uplifting accountability groups that can be formed?

    I can start with that first?

    Also want to check if this works
    too many issues to use this and to also synergize for some reason.

  7. I don’t know what is their budget but
    to save money they can use library internet to continue recruiting/prospectging and teaching?
    to save money they can go to free food distribution …we have some here so i am just wondering about there.
    and
    if you can barter with others your services with shelter and food etc??
    join a bartering services they have lots of people who have stuff and build on that.

    you don’t need to say that you have mental issues you just need to focus on your goals and synergizing.

    i actually want to also check if my reply is seen since
    i had too many issues here sending replies and creating synergies in this platform and i dont’ wish this anymore on myself or others.
    ty
