I will continue on this journey of growth and evolution forever, and I wish the same for you!I've lived in nature for four years, chopping wood for fires, with no roof or facilities.I've had a successful musical career for over twenty years: teaching, composing, recording, and performing.I've healed pre-cancerous lesions in my cervix through spiritual and inner-child work.I've started a business in my late thirties with no business experience and reached six figures in less than a year, helping dozens heal physically and emotionally, overcome anxiety and depression, and create massive success in their professional and personal lives.One of the most meaningful turning points in my business career was in my second year when working too hard to reach my goals caused me to experience complete burnout.This drove me to pause and focus on my health and balance. Searching for the right resource to help me, I reached out to my late mentor, Bob Proctor, one of the greatest experts of our time in human potential and success, who helped millions create financial freedom and transform their lives in many marvelous ways.Working with Bob and his team, I restarted my business and rapidly multiplied my results.
