[07:37] Why should we listen to you? 

People listen to me because they also find that they can TEDx the results in a very short period.  I have the courage, and I have the vision. I know my path. And I know what I’m passionate about. And here’s where I start my journey. And that’s when people are speaking from the heart, just like you when you speak from the heart. People listen because they hear the authenticity.

[09:49] What exactly is your day-to-day operation? 

I start with a journal. I have my journal, and I walk through the 21 step process. Who do I choose? To be today, and that’s my first question. And for instance, I have my journal and right here to me to do to create. The first question I asked myself this morning is who I choose to be, I choose to be later on. 

[13:14] How did you get through all this?

I was unfulfilled. I woke up one day, as I turned 34, and realized that I had a brain tumor. I had to be there for me because there was a sense of something missing, and then I discovered it for myself as well. Same things that I’m sharing with people I must do for myself to a different level. I didn’t hear that, and I was amazed. I didn’t hear that “we’re proud of you.” I didn’t hear that “you’re wanted” or “loved.”

[17:01] How can someone walk that journey?

It took me a long time to be transformed and become who I am today. If I choose to become someone new, I will choose someone different and more empowered. I’ve had people who couldn’t even sell something in a real estate home. Suddenly, they’re selling three homes in less than three months, and they’re the very person they were resentful for. 



[20:57] What if somebody continues on the pathway they currently are on?

3% of people in the world are the ones who do that. I come across many individuals who come to me and like our CEO and say, “What do I do?  This is not what makes my heart sing.” They make it to what’s called a midlife crisis. We’ve all been there, and some of us are earlier than others. Some of us get through a midlife crisis a few times throughout life.

 

[27:08] What promise did God make to the world when He created you?

I am here to help you let your world.
