You're one of the most successful people in business, especially for systems and processes. Working with Melissa myself has been nothing short of a game changer. The thing that really mattered to me most was learning your story.
When we go through anything, traumatic grief, loss, breakup, anything where we feel intense loss of the future we envision, there was an opportunity. The gold hidden in the challenges and the failures. Imagine that I was like this glass vase, and it was shattered on the ground. When my daughter died, nothing made sense. My identity as a mother, gone. Gone. The world as I knew it, gone. Within that is an opportunity to look around and be like, how do I really want to live? Am I going through the motions? It gives you the chance to slowly put your phase back together.
You've gotten this far, and now you're serving all these incredible people's missions, including your own in the process. All of a sudden, one day, they figure out how to start leveraging this stuff. Once you start figuring out you have this power, you can get what you want out of life. And that's the power I see in you. You're gonna use it to change the world.
