One thing that we all have in common in the ability to dream. You don't have to be rich or poor to dream, what matters is that you must believe in your dreams and just chase them. As simple as that!

Here's one wonderful website DreamItAlive that helps its users in achieving their goals and dreams in all walks of life.

DreamItAlive is an online community for people who want to make their dreams come true.

According to the website, "DreamItAlive's mission is to help unlock human potential by empowering people to live their best lives. DreamItAlive asks you the question, who do you need to become to achieve all that you want? After all, creating and achieving dreams requires you to challenge yourself and grow into the very best version of you possible."

Wondering how DreamItAlive does that?

DreamItAlive uses Dreamboard, visualizations, social community based tools, content, products and services that empower people.

Dreamboard is a board that consists of pictures and inspirational phrases, for the user to focus upon. It's the user who himself creates his own Dreamboard. The Dreamboard activates the subconscious mind and universal law of attraction to begin manifesting your dreams into reality. The concept of the Dreamboard (also known as a vision board) has been around for generations and have been promoted by celebs like Oprah, Jim Carey, Will Smith, Jack Canfield and the book "The Secret".

All that you have to do to become a part of the DreamItAlive community is to register and create an account. Once you create your Dreamboard, DreamItAlive guides you all the way and helps you realize your dreams and achieve your goals.

If there is a desire, there is a way! You are the creator of your reality – dream it alive!

DreamItAlive is the brainchild of three unique individuals - Anita Rani Dhaliwal, Ash Kumra and Erin Mester. To learn more about this website we got in touch with one of its co-founders, Anita Rani Dhaliwal. Here's what she has to say about DreamItAlive:

The entire world has DREAMS and GOALS and our purpose as human beings is to continuously fulfill them, expand and then create new ones, that’s how we evolve. DreamItAlive.com is a online community helping people achieve these dreams and goals in all areas of life using Dreamboards (vision boards), support & various tools such as:

• Social Community: Unique status updates (appreciation, visualization, challenge, dream updates, compliments and more!)

• Karma Points: A gamification/point system rewarding people for working on their dreams and helping themselves along with fellow users with daily visualization, interaction and involvement. Users will be rewarded with sponsored prizes.

• Visualization Tools: Guided patent pending process system to create an unique and balanced Dreamboard profile covering all aspects of one’s life.

• Dream Funding: Any dream stated on Dreamboard can get funded by anyone!

• Dream Matching: Find like minded dreamers to connect with to fulfill dreams with or just to get to know on a more intimate level!

• Dream-It: Allow people to share dreams and desires with the web.

• Content System: Content to help users manifest dreams with eCommerce affiliate links & sponsorships

• Other Social Features: Get status updates based on user feedback, join dream groups based on common “Dreams” and more!

I visualized the idea in early 2009  and stated the intention that I want to build this with conscious and like minded individuals. In early 2010 I connected with Ash Kumra through Facebook friends to network with on another project I was involved with. I then met Erin while consulting. In late 2010, the desire to make this vision a reality took over me, I wanted to help others’ dreams come alive more than ever! After getting to know Ash, who was currently developing his speaking career and running his first business, I pitched the idea of creating a community platform that can help people achieve their dreams, he didn’t think twice about it, he was more than excited and honored to be a part of it! Erin was also ending her latest consulting gig and I intuitively knew Erin was the perfect candidate because not only is she impeccably logical but works from the inspiration of her heart, she was perfect for a community with a goal to integrate the oneness of the mind and heart! Erin was intrigued by the concept and felt it was her calling and immediately jumped onboard! This was synchronicity at its best.


Everyone is beyond passionate about the site and loves that we guide them not only to discover their purpose but assist them in connecting with like minded individuals through dream matching and best of all, they can’t wait for dream funding to be live so they can give and receive more meaningfully.

4. When do you plan to go live from your current Beta status? Once live how do you plan to promote your site? Would it be via social media or the old and trusted word-of-mouth promotion?

We are still in Beta remain there for a little while longer. This will allow us to go deeper with the other features we plan to launch and fully test to make sure the user experience is at it’s best! We plan to do everything from social media, word of mouth, share it with experts to use for their clients, and partner with other like minded sites.

5. How many people do you think have been able to achieve their dreams via your site? What is the biggest compliment that you have received for creating DreamItAlive?

There are several people already stating that they achieved their dreams, one was used in our video
here.

Others are saying:

“DreamItAlive has helped me to discover my true calling and get me focused on path that I need to take to achieve my dreams”

“Thanks for helping me figure out my purpose”

“Wow, I just put my dream up on my dreamboard, within six weeks I got the car of my dreams and it’s even the same color and model as the one on my dreamboard!”

6. Is DreamItAlive a non profit organization? If not tell us about your monetization strategy.

DreamItAlive is for profit. We are monetizing via sponsorships and affiliates.

7. What is the fondest memory that the three of you have of the process, from conceiving DreamItAlive to having it up and running ? What issues/difficulties did you face initially?

The journey to DreamItAlive.com has been nothing less than AMAZING! We feel we truly have the best team ever in the history of business. This journey has allowed us to elevate to a higher version of ourselves and we all plan to continue this growth. It’s so interesting but through the process we shown that there is a parallel with the founder’s energy and the energy of the site, when the three of us grow personally the site also grows. One of my personal experiences is when I was going through a major kitchen redesign, which happened to be in the “career” center of the Feng Shui in my house, the site also went through a major “redesign” and though as much as we tried to launch the new redesigned site earlier than when we did, there were so many delays which was perplexing to all of us but apparently my kitchen wasn’t completed and the career energy part of my life needed to undergo some changes :) The day the kitchen was fully completed was the day the new redesigned site was launched! Being a Feng Shui consultant, I have experienced many parallels of this nature with several of my clients,  but it was intriguing to see it play out the way it did with us and DreamItAlive.com! Now when I look back at this experience, it was all timing, the time it took to redesign my kitchen, was the time I needed to grow myself so I can prepare for what’s about to happen with the site. That was the greatest proof that this site is a reflection of our energy. This is why we have dedicated our life to being our best self, not only just for ourselves but for the eLUVation of the DreamItAlive community!

As far as issues, we don’t see any experience as being an “issue” but more as an indicator to consider another option or take another route. It’s like our own “internal” navigation directing us towards the right path so that we may manifest our dreams with ease and grace. We all believe that everything happens for a reason and all is in perfect alignment for our highest good.

8. What other entrepreneurs do you look up to? If you could work with one of them who would it be and why?

There are several entrepreneurs that we look to for inspiration mostly for their personal values, incredible positivity and belief in themselves. I personally look for guidance from within for my inspiration. I believe if you want to do something different, you have to think different and therefore I need to think outside the box, be authentic and express with uniqueness.  There are several entrepreneurs who follow this philosophy but Michael Bernard Beckwith is the one I would pick because he has dedicated his life to consciously making the world better.

9. When not working on the website how do you spend your spare time? What is your favorite activity for de-stressing?

Anita: Love meditating, hikes, yoga, explore new healing modalities, massages, dancing, skydiving, hot air ballooning and anything allowing me to radiate my divinity.

Erin: Loves to be outdoors: hiking backpacking whitewater rafting snowboarding surfing rock climbing,
canyoning, caving.

Ash: Loves hot yoga, running, swimming, surfing, connecting with like minded entrepreneurs.

10. What are your future plans as an entrepreneur? Do you have any enhancements to DreamItAlive in the pipeline?

So far we have been self funded and have come a long way with the support of the world and companies like Microsoft. We are looking to move forward and continue building out new features, test them out extensively and then go deeper. Also we are currently working to attract funds to build a mobile app that would allow for more dreams to come alive!

11. One piece of advice that you would like to give to budding and aspiring entrepreneurs?

Make a dreamboard (vision board) depicting your dream.

Thank you Anita for taking out the time and doing this interview with us. We'd like to wish you and your team at DreamItAlive the very best for the future.
