Favorite Quote:

"Efforts and courage are not enough without purpose and direction" – John F. Kennedy

Key Points:

-Sofie was able to live in many different areas of the world. This allowed her to see things from different perspectives. This included being able to rise to a higher level.

-Coming to the United States was another challenge. Coming from Amman, Jordan, she learned after 9/11 that people can become extreme in their viewpoint towards others. She was told to hide the fact that she had a Muslim background.

-Whenever she faced a challenge, she took classes, read book, and found higher-level thinkers and experts to help her overcome each challenge. When her mother passed away, she studied Laughter Yoga and became a certified teacher.

-Sofie also dealt with challenges from her family and culture when it came divorcing her first husband and adopting a more spiritual viewpoint versus a strict religious one. She learned how many people, especially in religion, tend to be fixed in their mindset.

-Her openness to learn and grow happened when she focused on her core value of freedom.

3 Tips:

1. This is "important" as when we are more patient, we are able to transcend making irrational decisions. Many religions teach the value of being patient.
2. Connecting and learning through communicating with the subconscious mind. By using various tools, we can use the power of the subconscious in a more profound way. Sofie recommends using mediation as one of the tools
3. The power of laughter has already been shown to help people become healthier in mind, body and spirit.

"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom."― Anaïs Nin

-We do what's familiar, though it doesn't serve us. -Andrea grew up in a middle class family in Wisconsin, where her father was a college professor in business. -Her father was focused on education in her family and didn't provide a nurturing relationship. Everything was about how good you're doing in school and other conditional forms of love. -Andrea sought nurturing outside of her family. During this time, she was assaulted sexually and raped as a child. She was an 8-year-old girl that went through this trauma and it happened when she sought an emotional connection. -She left home at 14-years-old and began a career as an international model, having her first cover at that time. -She felt comfortable in front of a camera, because it became her emotional outlet and connection. -During this time, she got involved in addictive substances. -Andrea learned that the opposite of addiction is not sobriety, it's connection. The quality of your connection helps determine the quality of your life. -Get connected with a coach that knows about addiction, if you want help overcoming it. -Family communication is important for recovery for all involved. -Find a good life coach or other expert to you identify your life script that's been holding you back and to help you move forward with a new one.

1. Get calm. Trauma is anything less than nuturing. Access your frontal lobe with a mindfulness practice. Get your head in the same space and time as where your feet are. 2. Find a coach that specializes in what you need help for. 3. Get involved in a community. This will help bring you out of where you're at and have support too.

"I laugh when I hear that fish in the water is thirsty. - Kabir

- We have abundance in this world, but many people tend to find only scarcity. - Self-awareness is important to know what we have is enough, instead of seeing only scarcity. - Jeffrey's joy he felt before his transformation was conditional. - On March 4, 1974 was his most transformational day. He learned how to meditate. - He discovered that the difference between his tennis playing and a professional's was not physical skills, but mental skills. - Through his meditation practice, he developed the inner skills to the point that he was able to take it to the court. He used it to improve his tennis game. - Self-knowledge is a key. When we know our self and observing, that becomes the key. - Judgmental thoughts hinder us and it becomes distracting. - Let go of the ego via meditating. - Discover your reason why. - Ask another person and be willing to question yourself, even your beliefs. - In sales, know that there are two conversations going on. The one we have and the other the customer is having between their ears. They are focusing on their values and beliefs. Learn what their values and beliefs are. - If we feel good about ourselves, regardless of external circumstances, then we are free to do what we do best and fully express who we really are.

1. Wisdom is a feeling. Feeling are a better source of knowledge. 2. Don't be limited by your goals. Goals tend to be limited by current information. Things can change and usually do due to new information. 3. The bridge between mindful awareness and performance is learning.

Marcus Aurelius Anderson is a TEDx and keynote speaker, author, coach and thought leader.

While preparing to deploy with the U.S. Army, Marcus suffered a severe spinal injury that left him paralyzed from the neck down. His life was turned upside down, and after dying twice on the operating table, he was told he would never be able to walk or use his hands again. Days quickly turned into months, and he was forced into life changing soul searching. He discovered he was left with two choices, he could either be a victim, or he change his mindset. Having no other option, he began looking for any lessons to be learned from his injury, and soon discovered that his Adversity was a gift. His is the story of overcoming by embracing "The Gift of Adversity."

He now speaks, teaches, and writes to inspire others to actualize their full potential and achieve their goals and aspirations.

"I will either find a way or I will make one" -Hannibal

- Going through training for a deployment to Iraq, while serving in the U.S. Army, Marcus woke up the next morning completely paralyzed from the neck down. - His transformation began after he realized he wasn't going to be able to walk again. - He turned inwards into the pain to find out what he was supposed to learn. - Marcus learned one thing that resisting what happened to him would stop him from moving forward. In fact, he had thought about taking his own life if he had the capability to. - He looked for something to be grateful for and it was hard at first. He eventually found it. - He discovered a new mission in life. - He explained that you have to have urgency and accountability in order to make things happen.

"When I have purpose, when I have intent, I go at it with everything I possibly can." - Marcus Aurelius Anderson

1. Adversity is an inevitability.

2. We are only as strong as the Adversity we overcome.

3. Adversity is a gift, embrace it.

"We don't know how long we have. We do have whatever time we have. Whatever your capabilities we have, it is a gift not be taken for granted." - Marcus Aurelius Anderson

Performing since she was 4, Andria is an accomplished dancer and vocalist. She has toured and performed in 13 states and 11 countries, which brought her into memorable venues such as the Sydney Opera House, Yokohama Stadium, and 4 Disney Theme Parks. One of Andria's most memorable jobs was performing at Disneyland for three years as part of their world-famous Character Department. She is a former local titleholder with both the Miss America and Miss USA organizations, and is a former Miss California Galaxy. She was also a professional cheerleader for the last 4 years for the San Diego Sockers. Andria currently works as a singer, dancer and stilt walker for several entertainment companies, and teaches Ballroom Dancing. In her spare time, she rides and trains her off-the-track Thoroughbred.

"To do a common thing uncommonly well brings success." -Henry J. Heinz

- Apply yourself and doing your best leads to success. - Andria learned to prioritize her hobbies that helped give her to reset. - Set a goal and challenge yourself. This leads to growth. - The work you do is a journey and the continuous setting of new goals. - When people see her perform, they are only seeing the 5% of what's glamorous. What they don't see is the 95% of the work needed to get to the 5% people see. - Andria has been told no so so many times during her career. - If you don't reach your goals, learn from them. It can be painful as each loss can be hard. Sometimes you have to simply allow yourself to feel down before getting back up. She went through that 3 years ago after training for 6 months for a part and didn't get it. - Get small wins instead of trying to get it all at once. The small wins are victories that you can celebrate.

We all learn in different ways. 1. Identify your goals, your objectives, your passions. Be specific as to what they are. They have to be clear. 2. Make a plan. Ask yourself, "How can I accomplish that?" --Go little by little and gain momentum. 3. Be committed. --Prioritize and focus on what's most important. Be consistent.

Bob Burg shares information on topics vital to the success of today's businessperson. He speaks for corporations and associations internationally, including fortune 500 companies, franchises, and numerous direct sales organizations.

Bob regularly addresses audiences ranging in size from 50 to 16,000 — sharing the platform with notables including today's top thought leaders, broadcast personalities, Olympic athletes and political leaders including a former United States President.

Although for years he was best known for his book Endless Referrals, over the past few years it's his business parable, The Go-Giver (coauthored with John David Mann) that has captured the imagination of his readers.

The Go-Giver, a The Wall Street Journal and BusinessWeek Bestseller, has sold over 500,000 copies. Since its release it has consistently stayed in the top 25 on 800ceoread's Business Book Bestsellers List. It has been translated into 21 languages and is Bob's fourth book to sell over 250,000 copies.

Bob is an advocate, supporter and defender of the Free Enterprise system, believing that the amount of money one makes is directly proportional to how many people they serve.

He is also an unapologetic animal fanatic and serves as a member of the Board of Trustees of Furry Friends Adoption and Clinic in Jupiter, Florida.

-Bob's greatest transformation occurred in his mid to late 30's. Even though he had business success, he was unsatisfied with himself. He felt he was missing an ingredient. -One of his mentors, Charlie "Tremendous" Jones suggested a book to Bob and in the book were principles by Benjamin Franklin in the form of a 13-week course repeated 4 times = one year. Bob went through the course and this helped him to transform and adopt the traits that Benjamin Franklin taught. -There are certain traits we have to work on in order to become successful. -Bob had a lack of gratitude and didn't see things in a positive way. He gossiped and talk bad about others. -His parents were the opposite and were examples of what The Go-Giver preaches. -An older gentleman where Bob worked in sales suggested to Bob that he target serving others and not on the money. This was another key transformation.

"Great leadership is never about the leader. Who is it about? It's everyone whose lives you want to add value to." -Bob Burg

*Desire is a given and everything starts with it. 1. Seek out and find the information (you need to succeed). -Follow the system that was created by other successful people. 2. Apply the information and what you learned immediately. -Take massive action! 3. Be persistent -Outlast the "No's." -Have an attitude of "going for no's." *Have absolute belief in yourself.
