She sought funding by entering competitions and uses her business skills an experience to teach others how to do this too.

Mirna was inspired early on by Jim Rohn, the original motivational speaker! She connected with the way he spoke, the way he delivered his message but most of all she connected with his platform of personal development.

She too wants to inspire and motivate others by speaking and sharing her story. From Fear to Freedom tells her bigger story, the hurdles she has overcome to get where she is today and shows others how they can live their life to the fullest, without fear.

Mirna is so passionate about sharing her story and how others can overcome their fear that she will feature as an author in a new book, which is currently being written, which shares the “Hero’s or Heroine’s Journey Story” as a Social Impact Entrepreneur. Mirna is one of many social impact entrepreneurs sharing their story in this book and was keen to get involved with the project to share her real life story of overcoming fear and gaining freedom.

Her message to readers and listeners is:

Follow your dreams

Whatever life throws at you keep getting up

Overcoming fear leads to freedom

You can fail from what you don’t want, so you might as well take a chance at doing what you love

Fear is a story – it has a beginning, a middle and an end – and YOU are the author.

Be the author of your own life

And her final message….May you find the grace to face your fears, conquer it and know that you too can leaps from fear to freedom!
