I’ve always believed we each have a purpose to fulfill in life—one we actually prepared for before we were even born. For twelve years, I lived “on purpose,” feeling certain it was preparing me for bigger opportunities ahead. So when some of those opportunities arrived, I leapt at them, expecting tremendous success.

Instead, I landed in dismal, painful failure.

Picking up the pieces was hard. I wrestled to redefine myself and figure out my purpose all over again.

Eventually, I found it—and discovered how I could fulfill it. For a long time, I’d felt a deep pull to use my teaching talents to help people understand and apply success principles in their lives. But two big obstacles stood in my way:

1. I didn’t fully understand the principles myself.

2. Even if I did, who would listen?

I tried living by faith, pushing toward success as best I knew how, but progress was slow. Then I was introduced to The Secret, and suddenly things came into sharper focus. As my wife and I applied what we learned, we realized we still needed deeper understanding.

That’s when we found the Mindset Mastery home study course. We jumped in eagerly—and the results were unlike anything we’d ever experienced. It was exhilarating.

Still, the idea of sharing these principles as a business felt impossible… until I learned about the inaugural Mentor Training program. I felt an unmistakable pull to be there. Around the same time, another promising opportunity surfaced.

Through much prayer and soul-searching, I asked myself if this was the moment to truly master these principles and gain the credentials to turn them into a business. The answer came with such joy and peace that tears streamed down my face. For the first time in a long time, I felt overwhelming gratitude to finally have direction. The only missing piece was a mentor close by.

Then, through a string of “coincidences,” I met a highly successful motivational speaker and performance coach. He felt my passion, offered to help polish my skills, and even opened doors for me to work alongside him and find speaking engagements. Within six weeks, the “how” became crystal clear—and my confidence soared.

I knew in my soul I was on the right track. Everything I needed was flowing into my life to help me fulfill my purpose. That month was a turning point—full of breakthroughs and “aha” moments that came from pressing through fear, breaking through terror barriers, and pushing past obstacles to find the answers waiting on the other side.
