I know this is long but I just HAVE to share this post from one of my teammates & personal inspirations..it shows WHY i love this lifestyle. The progress pictures, weight loss, energy boots etc. are fantastic but THIS is just priceless... About 5 years ago, my wife (who was then my girlfriend) was diagnosed with Stage 3 Triple Negative Breast Cancer (yesterday she was officially marked as a survivor). At the time, I had just started my new coaching business and was barely making any money. Because of all the medical costs, traveling to Sloan Kettering on a daily basis, chemo and radiation, and my wife having to go on disability, we werent able to pay our mortgage and were barely able to keep our heads above water. We lost our home, I had to file for bankruptcy (my accountant LENT me the money to file I was so broke), and for those of you who remember and were friends with me back then, I even sold t-shirts via FB to pay my wifes medical bills (THANK YOU TO ALL YOU WHO BOUGHT, I HAVENT FORGOTTEN YOU). When I would take my daughter to school in the morning, I would leave the house and my daughter would ask me, Daddy, who are those people taking pictures of our house? I couldnt tell her, Well, baby, those are people from the bank, or investors who saw our home listed in the newspaper because were about to lose it because we have no money. I remember sitting in bankruptcy court that VERY hot summer day like it was yesterday. I remember this clearly because I didnt want to use the AC in my trash can on wheels because it would use up all the gas and I was sweating bullets in my suit that was from (no lie) 1994. I remember being humiliated in front of a room full of strangers, having to answer why I failed in life and business. And to top it off, I had to park my car in the court garage- which cost $30, which is a lot of money for someone filing bankruptcy, lol. When my family went out to eat, I would tell them to order from the appetizer side of the menu. I would put $20 of gas in my busted up hooptie because I couldnt afford to fill it. (One of my biggest fears was the gas attendant filling it by accident, lol.) And the most important concern on my mind: I wasnt even guaranteed my wife was going to survive, even though deep down inside, I always had faith that life would work itself out for us if we just got through this turbulent time. I was so broke, and I wanted to marry Wendy,but I couldnt even afford the engagement ring because I had just filed for bankruptcy, SO MY MOTHER PAID FOR IT! (The ring was so crappy that the stones would fall out every other month! Ask Wendy. But I guess thats what I get for buying an engagement ring in NEWPORT MALL!) If youve never been to the very bottom, it hurts; it hurts REAL BAD, especially in middle-age.Theres nothing like being a broke life coach, trying to coach others when your own life is in financial ruin and you dont even know where your own future lies. BUT, deep down inside, I had faith that if I helped enough people in their own lives, I could change mine. It took almost 5 years, but im now in a position that most people dream of. My desire is to transform as many lives as possible- whether it be in health, business, or finance. If my financially successful father was alive today, Im sure he would be proud, even though he never believed financial success was a possibility in my life or chosen career. For those of you who have been wondering how this has all happened to me and my family, I was asked to do an international call tonight with the company that changed my health, spirituality, finances/entire existence, and share my testimonial of how it all happened. I also get to share the call with my very, very,very good friend/certified wellness coach/7 figure earner (she hates it when I tell people this, lol) Alexis Romano, and my Asian brotha from anotha Asian mutha, professional trainer/stay-at-home-dad, Barry Tsang. My life and business have ALWAYS been transparent and this is one more opportunity to share HOW I changed my life, because I believe EVERYONE can do it, IF they want it badly enough Join this call TONIGHT & listen to Peter Kauffman share his story LIVE 9:00 p.m. (Eastern) / 6:00 p.m. (Pacific) (212) 990-2300 Code: 9952#
