You Don't Have to Give Up Your Dreams - You May Just Have to "Walk Away" from How You Put Those Together Before the Global Economic Slowdown

 "Doug Leone, Sequoia’s global managing partner, said FTX’s implosion may affect its investing principles in the near term: 'For the next three to six months, we’re going to dream a little less.'” - CNBC, November 18, 2022.

This "dream a little less" applies to not only the investment world.

In my intuitive career coaching, clients have become very pragmatic. They request guidance how to navigate a workplace they experience as toxic. And in my Tarot readings, clients are focusing on how to cut back on consumption to make ends meet. Their objective is to stay out of overwhelm by balancing their income and expenses. 

Not that dreaming has been purged as a fool's path. Part of the message of the Walking Away Card in the Tarot - The Eight of Cups - is about confidently walking toward.

For example, a client is embracing the reality of having to do a job he hates, for now. He needs the paycheck. But simultaneously he is investing his sweat equity in getting started an enterprise flipping phones. Interestingly, he doesn't refer to that entrepreneurial pursuit as a "dream." To him it represents a concrete plan to create a way of making a living that's a better fit for him than being an employee. Obviously gone is the former euphoria of entrepreneurship.

Another approach to the American tradition of The Dream is to downsize it. Instead of gunning to purchase the usual three-bedroom house, build a Tiny House. According to FIXR, that ranges from $40k to $80k. Motley Fool puts the median cost of a single-family house at $428,700.

A third is to change it. It would be wonderful to leave your job and matriculate for your M.B.A. full-time, But another version is to make the sacrifices in a lifestyle to study for that advanced degree when off-duty. 

Dreaming is a form of hope. We need to hope.
