I am excited to be launching my new website, RyanAvery.com. This blog will focus on articles that enhance our life, improve our communication and identify what it takes for us to be more successful.

As many of you know, my tagline is “Dream BIG.” About five years ago I had someone say… “Yeah Ryan, we know you are a dreamer but what are you doing to make those big dreams come true?”

Ever since then I am reminded everyday that you can’t just dream, you have to act! You have to put the work in. You have to think BIG and start small but remember if we can’t dream it, there is no way we can achieve it!

So… “What are you doing to #MakeThingsHappen in your life?”ย 

What goals do you have? What dreams are you working towards? What are you doing today and everyday to make sure you are living the life you want?

Today’s GIVEAWAY: Leave a comment below before February 11th at 12pm PST and two lucky winners will receive a signed copy of my new DVD Push Past It!ย 

I am looking forward to continuing to provide content that will help us be stronger communicators, leaders and more successful. Leave your comment below, stick around and subscribe for more articles. Enjoy the start of your week and as always…

Dream BIG,

Ryan Avery

Hi, my name is Ryan Avery! Every Sunday I share the "notes" I use to build my keynotes. They are personal stories and tangible strategies we can use to improve the way we communicate at work, at home and with ourselves.

    Starting in 2013, I’ve worked at NOT saying NO to all the challenges I would have normally run from. Believe it or not, you and Chelsea have been a big part of that. Chelsea talks about her challenges and how she found the “whatever” to face them. Even at my age, one thing I never learned to do (well actually fought learning to do) was speak in public. In just a very short while I will have earned my Advanced Communicator Bronze, as well as, my Advanced Leadership Bronze ( in about 1 year). Not too bad for someone who lasted only 28 seconds the very first time I got up to speak.
    Thanks guys and look forward to more inspiration. Love you both!

  • Kevin says:

    Your positive attitude, genuine desire to help people be their best, and your great advice has been an inspiration to me from the first time I saw your presentation. Keep up the wonderful work, my friend!

  • Marc Gabris says:

    To achieve my BIG dreams I’m first focusing on the fundamentals of: great health, compelling communication, and unshakable confidence. Specifically to do that I’m on a health diet, seeing a holistic doctor, taking supplements, studying the works of great speakers, and practicing your strategies on building confidence. The process is working and I see myself growing stronger and more effective every day.

    Send me the goods! But I want Push Past it Part 2!

  • Susie says:

    I have always been a dreamer, but never completed the things I dreamed about. After attending one of your speaking engagement, I have been excited about fulfilling one of the many dreams I have. However, I need to become a better organizer.to become a better motivational speaker. You inspired me that I am still talking about what I learned from you to anyone that will listen. Thank you for the inspiration.

    Hey Marc, health is the best thing you can focus on. Without it… what can you do? Keep working hard and growing as you are. You are working towards awesome things and your BIG dreams are worth the fight to accomplish them. It is exciting to hear you are growing everyday… keep up the great work!

    5Things:
    – Established a DO IT NOW attitude!
    -Asking better questions… getting better answers~
    -Constantly ‘up-leveling’ my thoughts, actions, beliefs, emotions… etc.
    -Continuing my own learning by reading and listening to those who are ‘making it happen’
    -Teaching! This keeps me ‘doing what I know’!

  • dena says:

    by the way… YOU are part of #4 on this list! Way to go Team Avery!

  • Ryan Avery says:

    Thank you Dena! Great to hear you are making things happen in your life! Keep up the awesome work and looking forward to staying in touch.

  • aww yay! so proud of you Mary!! that’s fantastic that you are already advancing so quickly in your speaking. there is also something freeing (and terrifying) with saying ‘YES’ to things that we normally would say ‘no’ too. keep it up!

  • nicely done ๐Ÿ™‚ keep it up Phuong!
