Dream High and Succeed even Higher!

Dream High and Succeed even Higher is my mantra that guides my steps, decisions, actions, and approach in the journey through life.

It has helped me over the years to remember that no matter what I face, I never dream low or settle for mediocre achievements. But aim higher to be somebody who has something to say and who is heard.

Hi! I am Diana O. Debreczeni, founder of the DARE & BE platform.

When I think about my life so far, I like to say that I am a beautiful story, with all my mistakes, fears, disappointments, and failures, but also with all the dreams, experiences, achievements, interests, and curiosity in continuing to learn, develop, and succeed.

Let me share my story with you…

---

EVERYTHING HAS AN ORIGIN AND A BEGINNING…

I was born in 1980 in a small town in Romania, where the prime issue has always been the social and financial crisis.

I had an enjoyable childhood, born into a middle-class family with an average financial situation. Despite all the limitations, my parents did their best to provide me and my brother with all the necessities and education we needed. For which I am deeply grateful!

After I finished high school, I was accepted to the Management University. During university studies, my first child, Sebastian-Antonio, was born.

My husband and I were together for a few years and married for two. Unfortunately, fate was not on our side, and the fact that we were young and inexperienced led us to our separation just a few months after the birth of my son.

I woke up a single mother at twenty-one years old, with fear in my soul but determined to raise and educate my child.

I had different jobs in different fields: waitress, courier, model, aerobic instructor, real estate agent, and insurance agent in a German company where, after almost two years, I reached Manager Status.

In all those years, my life has been a puzzle, in which I tried with every experience, failure, struggle, goal, and opportunity to stick one more piece in the picture of my life to succeed.

But I was always grateful for everything I had I did not have had, and I realized. I promised myself that I would not give up. It was not just a fight for me but also for my son.

A QUITTER NEVER WINS, A WINNER NEVER QUITS!

I have always considered myself a unique, visionary, open-minded, and strong person with no limiting beliefs who takes action despite all rigid and conditional aspects of my life.

All the experiences shaped my character and gave more value to my skills and knowledge, becoming a professional in everything I did. But my status as a parent was declining.

I worked more and more hours, and I was spending less time with my son. He was growing, and I was losing essential moments with him.

I had become a slave to the system, sacrificing my life, family, and happiness to make others rich.

All day long working, 12-14 hours, chasing clients, cold calls, late meetings… I was physically and mentally exhausted.

The money was never enough. The bills were rising, and my health was getting worse.

I never felt that my place was in my country, and I did not consider that it could offer me the opportunities to achieve my goals.

Being passionate about foreign languages was an asset to me. That is why I experimented for a period of working abroad in Italy (Sardegna), Spain (Lloret Del Mar), and other countries where I made a good income, but unfortunately, it was only seasonal.

I returned to my country, where I opened my insurance broker agency. It worked well for a while, but I had already caught the taste of foreigners.

I could see the opportunities I could have financially and professionally.

So, in 2013, I decided to try my luck again by returning to Spain, this time in the Canary Islands, where I have remained until now.

For a while, I worked in luxury oriental restaurants. Being also passionate about Asian culture, language, beauty, and food, it was a pleasant experience for a while.

The money was good, so they facilitated my family’s help. But with time, the same problem started to reoccur. Working all day long, having no time to spend with my son, and no time for myself.

Because once was not enough, life hit me all over again.

THE LEAP OF CHANGE

In 2016, I found out, following a routine consultation, that my health was getting much worse. This time, the illness was my enemy, my crossroads. I could say it was my Epiphany.

It took me a while to accept and want to fight the illness, and as I saw that life is a game… I decided to play it but on my terms!

I focused on my happiness and that of my son, on my vision, purpose, and goals, to create confidence, financial stability, and more freedom of time.

So far, I only lived to work until I decided I wanted to work to live, to discover and enjoy living with a new purpose, meaning, and intentions.

I quit being employed, and once again, I took my life into my own hands, extending further the limits. This time to a real Success.

I became a Certified Yoga and Pilates Instructor and a Certified Mindfulness and Emotional Intelligence Facilitator.

I improved and controlled my health by changing my lifestyle completely; I have learned to accept and forgive past resentments and live entirely in the present, improving and investing in myself as a person, mother, and professional.

I changed my Mindset, Life, Health, and Wealth.

I have seen that things lead to success if I take the right path, take advantage of opportunities, and act the right way.

More good things started to happen in my life.

Because learning and teaching are twin passions for me, nourishing my growth and inspiring others on their journey, I raised my professional level to another standard by becoming a Certified Life Coach and Certified NLP Master Practitioner.

When I have passion, great things happen to me, for me, and because of me!

By acquiring new skills, I have added other powerful tools to my arsenal, empowering me to expand my horizons and unlock endless professional possibilities.

I became the founder of the DARE & BE platform, blogger, Affiliate Marketer, and Business Consultant with the help of Wealthy Affiliate, which was the foundation for me to create and develop my online business on my terms.
