WEBVTT 00:00:09.940 --> 00:00:14.099 Good day, everyone. Welcome to her comeback. 00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:18.039 This is a special episode that I'm bringing to 00:00:18.039 --> 00:00:21.300 you this week. I wanted to take some time and 00:00:21.300 --> 00:00:24.500 share with you a little bit about my story. We 00:00:24.500 --> 00:00:28.219 talk about women over 50, transforming their 00:00:28.219 --> 00:00:31.940 lives and creating for themselves a life that 00:00:31.940 --> 00:00:36.320 they want. So I'd like to share with you my journey 00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:41.020 and bring you into the experiences that I've 00:00:41.020 --> 00:00:44.140 had and the things that have made me the person 00:00:44.140 --> 00:00:50.439 that I am today. Five transformations that changed 00:00:50.439 --> 00:00:55.299 everything for me. At 37, I thought my life was 00:00:55.299 --> 00:00:59.640 over. I was drowning in a bottle. I was stuck 00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:02.859 in patterns that were destroying my career, my 00:01:02.859 --> 00:01:09.629 family, my soul. But today, at 54, I am living 00:01:09.629 --> 00:01:14.310 a life I couldn't have imagined back then. And 00:01:14.310 --> 00:01:16.950 if you're at a place in your life where you've 00:01:16.950 --> 00:01:21.090 had enough who's hit your own rock bottom and 00:01:21.090 --> 00:01:23.450 you're ready to look outside yourself for help, 00:01:23.969 --> 00:01:27.030 I want to share with you five transformations 00:01:27.030 --> 00:01:31.170 that took me from hopelessness to absolutely 00:01:31.170 --> 00:01:35.739 living my best life. So let me ask you something. 00:01:35.739 --> 00:01:39.120 Have you ever looked in the mirror and thought 00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:43.739 yeah, this is not the life I planned How many 00:01:43.739 --> 00:01:47.760 of you have felt stuck? Invisible or even like 00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:54.019 your best days are behind you At 37 alcohol was 00:01:54.019 --> 00:01:56.780 controlling every aspect of my life it was holding 00:01:56.780 --> 00:02:01.060 me back in my career It was destroying my relationships. 00:02:01.060 --> 00:02:04.379 I was twice divorced at that point And it was 00:02:04.379 --> 00:02:09.000 just crushing my spirit. I was hopeless, desperate, 00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:15.479 and completely powerless. But in that rock bottom 00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:20.139 moment, here's what I've learned. That bottom 00:02:20.139 --> 00:02:24.099 has become a solid foundation, which I've been 00:02:24.099 --> 00:02:28.580 able to rebuild everything. And the message that 00:02:28.580 --> 00:02:31.439 I have for you, maybe your rock bottom moment 00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:34.419 doesn't have anything to do with alcohol or addiction. 00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:38.560 It could be whatever that looks like for you. 00:02:39.219 --> 00:02:42.699 The point is that your lowest point isn't your 00:02:42.699 --> 00:02:46.300 end point. It's your starting point. And when 00:02:46.300 --> 00:02:50.360 you finally had enough, you have the motivation 00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:54.689 finally to do whatever it takes to change. You're 00:02:54.689 --> 00:03:01.770 sick and tired of being sick and tired. That 00:03:01.770 --> 00:03:05.810 transformation for me at 37 was foundational. 00:03:06.389 --> 00:03:09.270 Without it, I would not have been able to move 00:03:09.270 --> 00:03:12.250 on and move forward in my life with all of the 00:03:12.250 --> 00:03:16.990 wonderful things that have followed. The next 00:03:16.990 --> 00:03:19.250 transformation I want to talk to you about is 00:03:19.250 --> 00:03:22.449 just the power of taking action despite fear. 00:03:23.310 --> 00:03:27.789 What if I told you that at age 47, as a single 00:03:27.789 --> 00:03:31.770 mom, working full time, I decided to go back 00:03:31.770 --> 00:03:36.169 to school to get my MBA. And this was not an 00:03:36.169 --> 00:03:40.569 online course. This was in the classroom two 00:03:40.569 --> 00:03:44.129 nights a week for three hours for two years. 00:03:44.449 --> 00:03:48.389 This was a serious commitment. Working full time, 00:03:49.050 --> 00:03:52.610 going to class, studying, doing small group. 00:03:53.449 --> 00:03:56.509 Two kids at home. My boys were teenagers at this 00:03:56.509 --> 00:04:01.550 point. It was crazy. People thought I was crazy. 00:04:01.810 --> 00:04:05.810 Why are you doing that? But I knew if I wanted 00:04:05.810 --> 00:04:09.069 to advance my career and go further in business, 00:04:09.090 --> 00:04:12.270 this was something that I wanted. It was something 00:04:12.270 --> 00:04:16.509 that I found would really help me grow and develop 00:04:16.509 --> 00:04:19.750 in the business world. And I had to do it. I 00:04:19.750 --> 00:04:22.250 wanted to do it. And I had to bet on myself. 00:04:22.810 --> 00:04:25.610 It required incredible time management, getting 00:04:25.610 --> 00:04:28.029 everything done, being able to do what needed 00:04:28.029 --> 00:04:32.129 to happen, sacrifice and commitment. But those 00:04:32.129 --> 00:04:37.370 two years gave me not only just education, which 00:04:37.370 --> 00:04:41.269 was fantastic. There was a lot that happened 00:04:41.269 --> 00:04:44.529 from when I was in college to 25 years later 00:04:44.529 --> 00:04:46.990 in business, the whole thing with the internet, 00:04:47.449 --> 00:04:51.110 digital marketing, e -commerce, all of that happened 00:04:51.110 --> 00:04:53.689 since the last time I was in college. So it was 00:04:53.689 --> 00:04:56.930 just wonderful being able to learn and understand 00:04:56.930 --> 00:05:00.209 more about how things work in today's world. 00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:05.819 So it's not just that education that I received 00:05:05.819 --> 00:05:09.620 but it was invaluable connections and most importantly 00:05:09.620 --> 00:05:15.579 It was proof my first proof that I had that I 00:05:15.579 --> 00:05:19.259 could do hard things and I'm so glad I stuck 00:05:19.259 --> 00:05:22.560 with it and finished it was an amazing accomplishment 00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:27.779 for me and It all came from just taking the action 00:05:28.449 --> 00:05:30.910 in spite of the fear, walking through the fear, 00:05:31.029 --> 00:05:37.329 having the courage to walk through it. The key 00:05:37.329 --> 00:05:41.689 message is after 50 we often think it's too late 00:05:41.689 --> 00:05:45.009 to do this, too late to make big changes, but 00:05:45.009 --> 00:05:49.410 what if now was actually the perfect time? You 00:05:49.410 --> 00:05:52.389 have the wisdom, you have the experience, and 00:05:52.389 --> 00:05:55.350 you have nothing left to prove to anyone but 00:05:55.350 --> 00:06:00.350 yourself. Go for it. Step out of that comfort 00:06:00.350 --> 00:06:04.230 zone. Do that thing you want to do, whether it's 00:06:04.230 --> 00:06:07.370 further in your education or that new business 00:06:07.370 --> 00:06:11.649 idea, whatever that looks like for you, take 00:06:11.649 --> 00:06:16.689 action and walk through that fear. The second 00:06:16.689 --> 00:06:19.310 transformation I want to talk about is following 00:06:19.310 --> 00:06:22.649 your heart, not your fears. That fear comes up 00:06:22.649 --> 00:06:26.290 in a lot, right? It certainly has for me. So 00:06:26.290 --> 00:06:31.649 following my heart. So at 49, I made a decision 00:06:31.649 --> 00:06:34.769 that everyone thought was probably impulsive, 00:06:35.649 --> 00:06:39.470 but I moved to Florida. It was just before my 00:06:39.470 --> 00:06:42.709 50th birthday. My 50th birthday would be later 00:06:42.709 --> 00:06:46.610 that year. And for me it felt like the stars 00:06:46.610 --> 00:06:50.790 had aligned. This was in 2020 during COVID. My 00:06:50.790 --> 00:06:56.709 youngest son graduated from high school and we 00:06:56.709 --> 00:07:00.470 were sent home to work and there was no reason 00:07:00.470 --> 00:07:03.579 that I needed to stay in North Carolina. I had 00:07:03.579 --> 00:07:06.420 been thinking about it for many years. I had 00:07:06.420 --> 00:07:10.100 visited Southwest Florida with family and I knew 00:07:10.100 --> 00:07:13.079 I loved it down here, but I knew that the timing 00:07:13.079 --> 00:07:15.600 wasn't right and at what point the timing was 00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:18.110 right, I was ready to go. Well, that happened 00:07:18.110 --> 00:07:22.889 for me in 2020. So I said, okay, now's the time. 00:07:22.990 --> 00:07:25.029 I don't have anything holding me back in North 00:07:25.029 --> 00:07:28.769 Carolina anymore. So I packed my bags and packed 00:07:28.769 --> 00:07:31.949 my U -Haul with everything I own and took off 00:07:31.949 --> 00:07:35.550 to Southwest Florida. I didn't know what was 00:07:35.550 --> 00:07:38.670 going to happen with my job because I knew at 00:07:38.670 --> 00:07:40.529 some point they were going to call us back into 00:07:40.529 --> 00:07:42.310 the office, which, you know, at that time the 00:07:42.310 --> 00:07:44.949 job I had, we had to go to an office and work. 00:07:45.149 --> 00:07:46.709 So I didn't know what was going to happen with 00:07:46.709 --> 00:07:49.610 that, but I was determined I'm going to go down 00:07:49.610 --> 00:07:52.810 there. I'm going to get settled. I'm going to 00:07:52.810 --> 00:07:56.970 meet my people, connect, and I'll figure it out. 00:07:57.449 --> 00:07:59.490 I don't know how it's going to work out, but 00:07:59.490 --> 00:08:02.060 I'll figure it out. And that was my attitude. 00:08:02.060 --> 00:08:05.800 And that's exactly what I did. And I just can 00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:08.959 tell you the move, the Florida was absolutely 00:08:08.959 --> 00:08:11.120 one of the best things, one of the best decisions 00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:14.120 I've ever made today. I feel like I'm a native 00:08:14.120 --> 00:08:15.959 Floridian. I've only been here five years, but 00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:19.300 I still, I just love it. And the beauty around 00:08:19.300 --> 00:08:23.939 me feels my soul. I wake up grateful every single 00:08:23.939 --> 00:08:27.199 day that I'm able to live in what I believe is 00:08:27.199 --> 00:08:31.529 a paradise. So follow your heart. Not your fears. 00:08:31.709 --> 00:08:34.929 Stop waiting for the perfect time or the perfect 00:08:34.929 --> 00:08:39.049 plan. There's no such thing. Sometimes you have 00:08:39.049 --> 00:08:42.649 to just take a leap and build your wings on the 00:08:42.649 --> 00:08:45.070 way down. And that's really what I did in this 00:08:45.070 --> 00:08:48.549 scenario. Your intuition knows things that your 00:08:48.549 --> 00:08:51.330 logical mind haven't figured out yet. So follow 00:08:51.330 --> 00:08:58.820 that gut. Listen to it. Do it. The third transformation 00:08:58.820 --> 00:09:01.580 I want to talk to you about is rewriting the 00:09:01.580 --> 00:09:05.179 story about what's possible. After moving to 00:09:05.179 --> 00:09:08.419 Florida, I went in for an annual physical. And 00:09:08.419 --> 00:09:11.360 at that point I was 50 pounds heavier than what 00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:16.220 I am right now. And during that physical, my 00:09:16.220 --> 00:09:20.059 doctor told me that given my family history and 00:09:20.059 --> 00:09:23.100 heredity, I have heart disease. It's rampant 00:09:23.100 --> 00:09:27.179 on both sides of my family. With that and the 00:09:27.179 --> 00:09:29.320 weight that I was carrying around, I was not 00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:32.460 on a good trajectory with my health, but my doctor 00:09:32.460 --> 00:09:37.259 said, listen, if you can lose this weight, you 00:09:37.259 --> 00:09:40.200 will significantly change your circumstances 00:09:40.200 --> 00:09:42.899 and you'll be able to put yourself in a better, 00:09:43.139 --> 00:09:45.879 healthier place. But you've got to get rid of 00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:49.059 this weight. And when she told me that. Lose 00:09:49.059 --> 00:09:53.039 40 50 pounds. Yeah, right that can't happen. 00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:57.980 I'm over 50 My metabolism is way slower than 00:09:57.980 --> 00:10:01.980 it was when I was 25 my age my genetics It's 00:10:01.980 --> 00:10:06.980 just it can't happen and I believed that belief 00:10:06.980 --> 00:10:11.220 It was as true to me as the sky is blue. You 00:10:11.220 --> 00:10:14.960 know, I can't lose weight 100 % I believe that 00:10:14.960 --> 00:10:19.820 but After that conversation with her, I had just 00:10:19.820 --> 00:10:21.820 a little bit of willingness. I was like, you 00:10:21.820 --> 00:10:24.399 know, maybe I can try this thing for a month. 00:10:24.580 --> 00:10:27.460 She had given me recommended a particular diet 00:10:27.460 --> 00:10:30.240 regimen just to try and see how it worked out. 00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:32.799 And it's like, you know what? I'll try it just 00:10:32.799 --> 00:10:36.059 for a month. And if somehow I'm able to lose 00:10:36.059 --> 00:10:39.620 10 pounds, that'll be great. I'll give it a shot. 00:10:40.580 --> 00:10:43.600 So I was pretty skeptical to say the least when 00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:48.220 I went out here. and tried this. I lost those 00:10:48.220 --> 00:10:52.539 10 pounds. And what was incredible is I felt 00:10:52.539 --> 00:10:57.259 amazing. I felt so much better. I had energy 00:10:57.259 --> 00:11:00.059 that I hadn't had. over the next few months I 00:11:00.059 --> 00:11:03.539 didn't just lose the 50 pounds I actually got 00:11:03.539 --> 00:11:07.259 down to a size four. I had told myself long ago 00:11:07.259 --> 00:11:09.879 oh you'll never be a size six and for years I 00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:12.539 kept these clothes hanging in my closet that 00:11:12.539 --> 00:11:15.379 were size six and then at some point I don't 00:11:15.379 --> 00:11:17.179 know how many years ago I gave that up. I'm getting 00:11:17.179 --> 00:11:19.460 rid of the size sixes that is done that will 00:11:19.460 --> 00:11:22.440 never happen for me again and then here we go 00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:25.299 through this experience not only did I get down 00:11:25.299 --> 00:11:27.399 to that size six I actually made it to a four 00:11:27.399 --> 00:11:33.600 so That journey in weight loss was so illuminating 00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:39.200 for me because it truly showed me how I hold 00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:44.419 myself back. I tell myself things that are true 00:11:44.419 --> 00:11:48.299 and accept them as truth that are a hundred percent 00:11:48.299 --> 00:11:53.340 not true. So what is it that's holding you back? 00:11:54.409 --> 00:11:57.750 The biggest barrier to transformation, it isn't 00:11:57.750 --> 00:12:01.289 your age, it isn't your circumstances, it isn't 00:12:01.289 --> 00:12:05.750 your past, but it's those limiting beliefs that 00:12:05.750 --> 00:12:10.169 you've accepted as true. What stories are you 00:12:10.169 --> 00:12:13.129 telling yourself today that's keeping you stuck? 00:12:14.429 --> 00:12:19.289 Think about it. The next transformation I want 00:12:19.289 --> 00:12:22.669 to talk about is discovering your body's amazing 00:12:22.669 --> 00:12:28.250 potential. With fitness, I never have had a gym 00:12:28.250 --> 00:12:31.789 membership. Just wasn't my thing. I'm not a gym 00:12:31.789 --> 00:12:34.529 person. It just wasn't something that interests 00:12:34.529 --> 00:12:38.110 me. I would take walks now and then do some yoga 00:12:38.110 --> 00:12:40.169 here and there. I had a few things, but there 00:12:40.169 --> 00:12:46.070 was never a serious fitness regimen for me. But 00:12:46.070 --> 00:12:52.450 at 53, I had a situation where I was facing incredible 00:12:52.450 --> 00:12:55.600 stress. I was still working at that corporate 00:12:55.600 --> 00:12:57.940 job where I was working from home, but there 00:12:57.940 --> 00:13:00.539 were some things that happened there that just 00:13:00.539 --> 00:13:03.879 were not working for me. A promotion I should 00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:08.139 have gotten, a new boss, yet leadership changes. 00:13:08.500 --> 00:13:12.340 And so there's just some things that way beyond 00:13:12.340 --> 00:13:15.299 my control that I wasn't happy about. And it 00:13:15.299 --> 00:13:19.659 was just stressing me out so much. I was just 00:13:19.659 --> 00:13:24.440 crazy with how. the stress from this job was 00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:28.019 affecting me. And so I was talking to a friend 00:13:28.019 --> 00:13:31.059 of mine and she said, Michelle, I know I hear 00:13:31.059 --> 00:13:33.159 your stress. You're so stressed out. What are 00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:36.340 you doing to let this stuff go? How are you releasing 00:13:36.340 --> 00:13:40.159 your stress? I'm like, oh, what a good question. 00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:44.320 Absolutely nothing is what I'm doing. But that 00:13:44.320 --> 00:13:47.779 comment made me really think. I'm like, okay. 00:13:47.980 --> 00:13:50.279 I have got to do something. She's absolutely 00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:53.480 right. Maybe if I can do some type of physical 00:13:53.480 --> 00:13:58.019 release, I'll feel better. So I started looking 00:13:58.019 --> 00:14:00.799 around and then came across this place that was 00:14:00.799 --> 00:14:02.899 new to me. A particular gym has been around a 00:14:02.899 --> 00:14:05.059 while, but I hadn't heard of it before. And the 00:14:05.059 --> 00:14:07.600 format is that you sign up for classes and then 00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:10.299 you have a coach that's there and you have a 00:14:10.299 --> 00:14:12.679 group and they guide you through different things. 00:14:12.700 --> 00:14:15.220 Whether you're doing some time on the treadmill, 00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:17.799 doing some time on a rower, doing some time with 00:14:17.799 --> 00:14:20.059 weights there, there's someone there to guide 00:14:20.059 --> 00:14:22.340 you through and a larger group of people that 00:14:22.340 --> 00:14:26.179 you're able to follow each other in the particular 00:14:26.179 --> 00:14:29.460 workout for that day. So let me give it a try. 00:14:29.860 --> 00:14:32.940 So I showed up and again, pretty skeptically, 00:14:32.940 --> 00:14:35.539 I didn't know this is going to be my thing at 00:14:35.539 --> 00:14:38.080 all or not, because it never really clicked with 00:14:38.080 --> 00:14:42.080 me before. And I did that first class. And I'll 00:14:42.080 --> 00:14:45.460 tell you that first class absolutely kicked my 00:14:45.460 --> 00:14:49.379 butt, but I can tell you this, when I walked 00:14:49.379 --> 00:14:54.019 out of there, I felt mental freedom, clarity 00:14:54.019 --> 00:14:57.820 that I haven't felt in months. It's really true 00:14:57.820 --> 00:15:01.620 what they say, the endorphins you get from exercise. 00:15:02.259 --> 00:15:05.490 Oh my gosh, how fantastic. I couldn't believe 00:15:05.490 --> 00:15:09.429 the difference. So I wasn't going to look back. 00:15:09.690 --> 00:15:12.870 I knew I had found this the best thing since 00:15:12.870 --> 00:15:15.169 sliced bread for me at the time. And I was going 00:15:15.169 --> 00:15:19.830 to run with it. And I continued. And today, as 00:15:19.830 --> 00:15:22.610 I sit here, I work out three to four times a 00:15:22.610 --> 00:15:27.070 week, same gym. It is part of my regimen. Wouldn't 00:15:27.070 --> 00:15:30.490 do without it. And I can tell you, I went from 00:15:30.490 --> 00:15:34.789 literally couch potato someone who did not exercise 00:15:34.789 --> 00:15:41.370 who did little to nothing at 53 15 months later 00:15:41.370 --> 00:15:44.830 there was a particular competition that they 00:15:44.830 --> 00:15:49.149 were doing at my gym that involved a 5k tread 00:15:49.149 --> 00:15:54.820 a 2000 meter row and 300 reps with the weights. 00:15:54.980 --> 00:15:58.139 And I did that all in under an hour. I think 00:15:58.139 --> 00:16:00.460 my time was 52 minutes or something like that. 00:16:00.659 --> 00:16:03.220 If that's not transformation, I don't know what 00:16:03.220 --> 00:16:08.639 is. Your body is not done surprising you. Age 00:16:08.639 --> 00:16:13.299 is not a limitation. It's just information. When 00:16:13.299 --> 00:16:17.539 you're willing to be a beginner again, you can 00:16:17.539 --> 00:16:20.000 discover capabilities you never knew you had. 00:16:20.870 --> 00:16:23.950 their stories like mine I talked to a lot of 00:16:23.950 --> 00:16:26.789 women and I hear other women say similar things 00:16:26.789 --> 00:16:29.210 and for them maybe it's not the gym it's pickleball 00:16:29.210 --> 00:16:31.629 oh I play pickleball and I'm in the best shape 00:16:31.629 --> 00:16:35.210 I've ever been or whatever it is it doesn't matter 00:16:35.210 --> 00:16:41.629 what the fitness activity is just do it your 00:16:41.629 --> 00:16:47.350 body will surprise you your capability is amazing 00:16:47.350 --> 00:16:50.379 all you got to do is be willing to give it a 00:16:50.379 --> 00:16:55.039 shot the fifth transformation that i'm going 00:16:55.039 --> 00:16:58.139 to talk to you about today is choosing courage 00:16:58.139 --> 00:17:03.879 over comfort my most challenging transformation 00:17:03.879 --> 00:17:10.559 so far leaving my corporate job to build my own 00:17:10.559 --> 00:17:15.079 coaching business man i was locked in those golden 00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:21.470 handcuffs it took a lot for me to walk away from 00:17:21.470 --> 00:17:26.470 the steady paycheck, the benefits, all the security 00:17:26.470 --> 00:17:30.750 that came with a corporate job. It took a lot 00:17:30.750 --> 00:17:35.710 for me to walk away from that, but I was done 00:17:35.710 --> 00:17:40.430 letting someone else control my potential and 00:17:40.430 --> 00:17:43.630 my growth and someone else assigned or determined 00:17:43.630 --> 00:17:48.819 my value. I refuse to start over in another corporate 00:17:48.819 --> 00:17:51.960 job just to end up in the same place where someone 00:17:51.960 --> 00:17:55.400 else gets to decide how far I go and what I get 00:17:55.400 --> 00:18:01.480 to do. So I took a bet on myself. I explored 00:18:01.480 --> 00:18:05.779 the area of passion that I have, which is helping 00:18:05.779 --> 00:18:09.559 other women do things that I'm talking to you 00:18:09.559 --> 00:18:13.690 about today. I got my life coach certification 00:18:13.690 --> 00:18:17.289 and I started building this business and every 00:18:17.289 --> 00:18:21.549 day I wake up excited about what's next. This 00:18:21.549 --> 00:18:24.930 chapter is still being written but I can tell 00:18:24.930 --> 00:18:28.390 you this last year has been the most amazing 00:18:28.390 --> 00:18:32.289 journey for me. I never would have imagined having 00:18:32.289 --> 00:18:37.380 a podcast getting to know a beautiful network 00:18:37.380 --> 00:18:40.640 of women, so many people I've crossed paths with 00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:44.079 this last year, speaking opportunities that I 00:18:44.079 --> 00:18:47.960 get to go and share my story and encourage other 00:18:47.960 --> 00:18:52.500 women to not settle for less, to know that you 00:18:52.500 --> 00:18:56.180 can have that life of happiness, purpose, and 00:18:56.180 --> 00:18:59.819 fulfillment. It's waiting for you just outside 00:18:59.819 --> 00:19:05.019 your comfort zone. This is what I'll say about 00:19:05.069 --> 00:19:09.730 starting my own business. The scariest transformation 00:19:09.730 --> 00:19:15.670 often leads to the most fulfilling life. And 00:19:15.670 --> 00:19:19.069 for you as well, you didn't survive everything 00:19:19.069 --> 00:19:22.410 you've survived in your life to date just to 00:19:22.410 --> 00:19:26.009 settle for something that doesn't excite you. 00:19:27.509 --> 00:19:30.049 What's that passion you want to follow? What's 00:19:30.049 --> 00:19:33.390 that dream you're ready to chase? Start today. 00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:38.000 It's not too late. You're not too old. The time 00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:44.859 is now. And I want you to hear this. You're exactly 00:19:44.859 --> 00:19:48.279 where you need to be to start this new chapter 00:19:48.279 --> 00:19:52.160 in your life. There's three questions that I 00:19:52.160 --> 00:19:55.339 want you to consider for your own transformation. 00:19:57.180 --> 00:20:02.680 What rock bottom moment can be your launching 00:20:02.680 --> 00:20:09.470 pad? Think about it. And the second question, 00:20:10.329 --> 00:20:14.829 what story about what's possible at your age 00:20:14.829 --> 00:20:19.730 needs to be rewritten? What is it that you're 00:20:19.730 --> 00:20:25.950 telling yourself? And number three, if you knew 00:20:25.950 --> 00:20:31.029 you could not fail, you had unlimited resources. 00:20:32.260 --> 00:20:36.119 Money, time, there were no constraints. If you 00:20:36.119 --> 00:20:39.059 knew you could not fail, what would you do in 00:20:39.059 --> 00:20:44.160 the next 90 days? Brainstorm, write down some 00:20:44.160 --> 00:20:47.220 things. No constraints. What would you do in 00:20:47.220 --> 00:20:55.140 the next 90 days? So in closing today, years 00:20:55.140 --> 00:20:59.460 ago, I thought my best days were behind me. I 00:20:59.460 --> 00:21:04.380 thought My life was over. Fun was over. It was 00:21:04.380 --> 00:21:08.920 just downhill from here. And what I can tell 00:21:08.920 --> 00:21:13.559 you is that that is the absolute furthest thing 00:21:13.559 --> 00:21:17.740 from the truth. Today, I know my best days are 00:21:17.740 --> 00:21:21.460 right now. I am living my best days right now 00:21:21.460 --> 00:21:23.799 in the present. And I know that the days are 00:21:23.799 --> 00:21:28.650 going to get even better ahead. So your transformation 00:21:28.650 --> 00:21:31.369 doesn't start when you have it all figured out. 00:21:31.549 --> 00:21:36.269 No It starts when you've had enough of where 00:21:36.269 --> 00:21:39.470 you are and you're willing to take that first 00:21:39.470 --> 00:21:44.309 step Towards where you want to go?
