Have you ever wished you could go back and have a frank conversation with your 9-year-old self? Maybe share some hard-won wisdom to get you through those tough times ahead?

How do you achieve your REALLY BIG dreams? I’m talking the “top draft pick in the NFL” dreams. The “I want to dance like Mikhail Baryshnikov,” the “share the stage with Yo-Yo Ma,” the “top consultant who’s in such high demand that people fly you around the world for a single keynote” dreams.
