We are joined by speaker, author, and transformational coach Rochelle Forrest Hankins on the Soar to Success podcast this month. She shares her BIG Dream to help everyone, especially children understand their own uniqueness and realize the greatness they hold within.

“I prayed to God for direction. God’s answer was, ‘Shelly and the Circle of Light.’ A lasting symbol of light, Shelly is a humble little lightning bug, who doesn’t know she continuously shines, and can fly. Her journeys will help children, parents and even grandparents find their light to bring awareness to the world.”

With the COVID pandemic gripping the world and children taken out of their normal routines and social interactions, Rochelle felt it was even more important to spread ‘Shelly’s Light’ to a larger audience. Since television and video is such an important media outlet, she created a new children’s show, “BugHub.”

Tune in to hear about her journey and the BugHub.

Perry Marshall Shares How ‘Memos From the Head Office’ Help Business Owners Soar to Success
We are joined by author Perry Marshall on the Soar to Success podcast this month. He discusses his new book, ‘Memo’s From the Head Office’. Memos from the Head Office are what Perry calls messages from the universe, the muse, the higher power, the Holy Spirit, whatever name you choose to call it.
The book contains real stories from real people with concrete verifiable facts. Many stories had to be cut from the book because it would have become too large and cumbersome. It is a not a religious tome. Everyone, whatever their beliefs, or lack of, can benefit from the ideas and strategies laid out in these pages.
“There are very few business books, if any, that give credit that the best ideas in the world come from sitting and listening. Few if any business authors would dare write that their success was not carefully planned or strategized. The ideas just happened because you were listening and open to the message.”
Perry also stresses that these messages are only valuable if you act on them.
“If you receive a message, another businessperson may be receiving it as well. If you do not take action to put it in motion, someone else will possibly make millions of dollars, when you could have beaten them to it.”
Anyone who visits, PerryMarshall.com/memos can click on the link to receive three chapters of the book and will also be added to the email list to receive more amazing offers.
