MEMORABLE MOMENTS
“I was writing a book because I knew that the message I had to get out in the world could change lives and I was determined to make that happen.”
“I realized that if you really want to make a big impact in health, you actually have to learn business and marketing. Otherwise, you won't know anything about how to run a business.”
if you're writing a book, because you want to be able to reach your perfect high level, high ticket offer client, that's one thing. If you're writing a book, because you have a mission out in the world and a big purpose, and it's really that type of book that can go far and wide, then you’ll probably want to get it published traditionally.”
“If we reframe the tough stuff we've gone through, we realize those things have actually set us up for being able to handle it all.”
“I've gone through a lot of challenging things…and I dusted up, got back up, and I learned how to be resilient.”
“If you can believe it in your mind, then you can achieve it. That is why I so carefully protect the concept of 110%...It’s taught me to manage my environment and keep all negativity out.”
“If your mindset isn't dialed, you will not be successful.”
“So many people think they just need the right diet or business strategy. Generally, It’s an internal game…the challenge always comes down to what you believe is possible for you.”
“Life is hard. Things are hard. You just have to pick which hard you want.”
“When you have a really good network of support, you can get everything that you possibly need from that network. They will catch you if you fall and dust you off. Having a network is super critical.
“I think confidence is the ability to put yourself in situations that are really outside of your comfort zone, and not shrink back and play small”
