Chances are, if you listen to me, you’re someone who’s ambitious, wants to change up what they’re doing, has a passion project...
In short, there’s probably something in your life that’s not going how you want it to.
Listen now
8 years ago today I ventured into an accidental career.
A short 6 months earlier, I did my hail mary pass to God while on a plane to see my dad before he passed. At the time, I was working a corporate job I was very good at, but hated.
I made a decent living, and it was hard to walk away from that salary—especially as a sole provider for my children.
But I knew I wanted something more. And my dad’s 12-day cancer diagnosis made me reevaluate some shit in my life.
I was mad that I had put myself in a situation where I was reliant on someone else.
I wanted to be in a position that if anything came up that I needed to handle, I could drop everything and go.
While in corporate America, I was filled with bitterness and rage. And then my dad passed away suddenly. Ultimately, I walked away from that corporate job to get help and checked myself into rehab, and it was in rehab that I was introduced to the Enneagram.
Quotes:
:35
I know if you listen to me, there’s something that’s not going in your life the way that you want it to.
2:17
Looking back I can see where the fear was for me, but that’s also where the Hail Mary pass to God came.
5:22
In rehab, I was introduced to the Enneagram.
7:01
I’m an Enneagram 8, they’re [my kids] are a 2 and a 7, and just using that framework the little bit I knew at the time made a huge difference.
9:35
I knew that I was going to have to communicate effectively with every person I talked to—I’d have to speak to what was in it for them in every conversation and mean it from the bottom of my heart.
11:50
Those first 6 months in my network marketing business, I was ignorance on fire, I was passionate in all my healthy 8ness.
15:26
Sure enough, those 82 people generated 15,000 people into my organization.
18:49
The ability to speak to everyone, all nine Enneagram types will allow you to stay in your zone 90 percent of the time.
21:36
This wouldn’t have worked if I didn’t start with me.
24:37
Using the tool of the Enneagram has helped me really keep a perspective that is true and compassionate and loving and filled with grace.
