Today we’d like to introduce you to S. Prejean.
Thanks for sharing your story with us S. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
I was a theater major in undergrad, so I enjoy all things creative! I knew I wanted to write a children’s book upon graduation, so when I initially started it was set out to be a fictional teen book. However, as I was writing the fictional book, I was writing short stories as well for a younger crowd (ages 2-5). From there, My Big Dream was produced. An innovation turned into a product and from there a small business!
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
There were many struggles. I have an entire book of struggles before the road became smooth (laughing). The building process had many struggles such as getting the product off the ground. I not only wanted to get the book on mainstream, I had a huge problem with wanting everything to happen at once! During that time, I didn’t understand the importance of patience and embracing the journey as I do now.
So let’s switch gears a bit and go into the My Big Dream story. Tell us more about the business.
My Big Dream is not only a book, it’s a service. We teach children how to become authors and illustrators for a day. We specialize in play and imagination techniques that enhance children’s creative capabilities. Overall, we are more than the author coming to read a story.
What makes us unique from others is that we actually have an astronaut on board with us! Astronaut Buddy is apart of My Big Dream and a pivotal character in the story. I’m most proud of knowing that when we are scheduled for a book tour, there will be a guaranteed smile on a child’s face.
Has luck played a meaningful role in your life and business?
I’ll say we in truly go with whatever life throws at us (hopefully all good, laughing).
