Welcome to Lessons from the Sessions! 

Today's podcast is brought to you by audible.com - get a FREE audiobook download and 30-day free trial at audibletrial.com/changemaker. Over 180,000 titles to choose from for your iPhone, Android, or Kindle. We recommend so many books on the show, hope you guys have a chance to actually digest them.

This week, we had the pleasure of having Berni Xiong on the show and I loved her energy from the beginning. What I loved more was the fact that we talked about her failures and how people don’t know how to fail.

I did an old video that got a couple thousand views on the fear of failure. And how failure and success are not a binary notion.

It’s not one or the other. You need one to get to the other. In other words, you need failure to get to success. 

Think back to when we were in school, and IF you were to fail, it would be this massive deal. Something is not right with you. You can’t read fast enough. You are not smart enough. It is always something that is lacking in you. 

Well, schools base everything on the average student. The average learning speed. It’s how they can manage hundreds and sometimes thousands of new students every year.

Well, what worked In school does not necessarily apply to life. It’s just like coaching entrepreneurs. What works in starting your business from 0-100k is not what is going to make the business go from 100k to 500k.

Life is about change. That is what this show is about. How do we embrace that change? How do we fearlessly walk into the unknown.

I encourage you to think about your life. Are you measuring against the average person in society?

Because there is that stat floating around saying 85%,+ of ppl hate their jobs.

Because the average person is just that....average.

Because the average person is not fulfilled 

I am sorry if this is offending certain people, but being average is not cool. Don’t buy into what others are saying that everyone is going to be around average, so just aim average.

If that is your thinking, well, you probably stopped listening to this show a long time ago.

Average is pathetic. That’s really what average is. And we are going to be average if you eat average food, think average thoughts, and do average things.

It does not take a genius to look around and see that there is a skew of wealth in the world. Why is it that 1% of the world own 99% of the money and resources available to the world?

Successful people follow patterns. They know what works and they break-out of the system of what everyone else is doing.

Mark Twain famously said - Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect

So think about it? No need to answer my question of the day or anything like that. But seriously take some time and ponder.

When was the last time you really failed at something? Did you tell others about it? Lewis Schiff wrote in his book business brilliant. 7 out of 10 multi-millionaires would say they are successful because failure is what showed them what they were great at.

Only 2 out of 10 people in the middle class would agree. Well, ask yourself. Do you want to be in the middle class? Do you want to be average?

I am not telling you that you should not be grateful if you are. Or if you happen to be in the middle class.

I am saying – If you want to be great. If being a changemaker or having the ability to make a positive impact in others lives is important to you, you must fail yourself out of the average.

I am saying – If you want to be great. If being a changemaker or having the ability to make a positive impact in others lives is important to you, you must fail yourself out of the average.

I will say it again. You must fail faster. You must fail smarter. You must fail forward to being out of the average.

It was said during the interview. People who fail more have more attempts and is, therefore, successful by default because they tried more, failed more and the 1 or 2 times they were successful, that’s where it counts.

So don’t be afraid of failure. Embrace Failure. Because you never know what you might learn that will apply into success the next turn around.

I thought this would be a great added benefit For you, the listeners of this podcast since there are so many great book suggestions going on within these episodes.

And in this one, we talk a bit about the Four Agreements written by Don Miguel Ruiz. I have definitely mentioned this book before in the past, but it is so instrumental in lifestyle design and constructing our own beliefs that it keeps coming up.

You can get the audio version of that book for free or any other book for the month. To download your free audiobook today go to www.audibletrial.com/changemaker Again, that's www.audibletrial.com/changemaker for your free audiobook.

Now, onto our kickass guest for this week.

Berni Xiong is an intuitive coach, speaker, and Reiki Master Teacher. She is the author of The Year of the Brave Bear: Speak Up. Stand Out. Change Your World., and contributing author of Chicken Soup for the Soul: Time to Thrive.

In this episode, Bernie walks us through how she went from corporate sales job, to stop to chasing someone else’s dream and follow her roaring misfit heart.

She started coaching from her living room with $200 start-up capital, no entrepreneurial background and a lot of ambition.

Though her seven year journey, she has gone through some serious trial and tribulations and once I heard her story and her attitude on her personal failures, I had to have her on the show.

What do you really want out of life? No, I am not talking about what your parents want, or your school, or even your friends. What do YOU want? A wise man once said, "Live fully, die empty" You must be the leader of your life and take responsibility of your actions. Live freely and do what you really want to do.

I want to dedicate this episode to my listeners and tell you a little more about my story.

In the last 18 months leading up to this podcast, I have been gainfully employed, left for a year of vagabonding in Asia, came back broke, started a business, spoke internationally and launched a top rated podcast.

During this time, I have experienced great anxiety leading up to all BIG decisions, and I go in-depth about how I overcame the daily fear.

I try to openly share as much as I can. Hope you guys really enjoy this episode.
