How London Real saved me from myself

July 2018

It was a very cold New Years Eve in Pennsylvania. January 1st 2018 was right around the corner. Like any other New Years eve with family all around, we had all stuffed ourselves full of the assorted refreshments. As the countdown began, I was sitting in my red leather chair by a warm lamp that had been lit. I closed my eyes and whispered softly to myself. “My New Year’s resolution is to be the best person in every way.” I meant it when I said it. Other years I would say yeah I would like to lose weight or eat less. But this particular moment was different for me.

Years prior to this moment I was making poor choices and hanging around with all the wrong people. It may sound like words coming from a young person in their 20’s but no its not its a 50 year old who has built a business with her husband and has raised 2 beautiful daughters and found herself all alone. Clearly I was lacking direction and I wanted so badly to fix it but just didn’t know how. I spent entirely too many restless nights and grueling days of not being productive and wishing I had a purpose. Deep down inside I believed I had a purpose. I just didn’t know how to find it or was it going to find me?.

I decided I needed to do something! I remember seeing my mother reading a lot while growing up. She is past away for about 16 years now. Sometimes I wonder if it was her nudging me.

My goal was to read a book a month. I also took an interest in learning the forex market. I was really doing well but something was still missing. Until one day in my forex group one of the students recommended I watch London Real.tv on You Tube. By this time I had felt motivation from several speakers like Jim Rohn and the variety of motivational speaking choices you find on You Tube.

I found London Real to be very different than the usual videos or television you might view. As I recall Dan Pena just so happen to be on the episode I was watching. Mr Pena was so fascinating to listen to, he took command and gave incredible advice on taking action. He was just the kick in the pants I needed. I was so moved to continue on being a better person and realize that reading and feeling inspired isn’t enough. I needed to begin taking action.

Throughout the year I had been on a search for new friends and healthy connections. I began setting some boundaries for toxic relationships and people who just didn’t have the same mindset. I wanted to rewire myself through the simplicity of just being present and decided to go off of social media.

After about 3 months I decided to go back online and was checking out the other resources London Real had &.came across TRIBE, its a community of people who share and interact. At the time it was perfect for me. I was wanting to connect with other people and keep growing in every way. Almost instantly I found incredible connections and felt compelled to dig deeper within myself and join the Business Accelerator course.

I was in heaven with all the work that needed done and the accountability document kept me focused and on track.. I was doing all I could to be the very best student giving every module my direct attention and all!! It felt incredible! I was no longer searching and agonizing over who or what I was!. Every module in the LRBA opened up so much of me that was suppressed.

At this moment in time for me I believe London Real BA was a god send. It gave me the direction I was craving. The valuable training I received and the constant positive affirmations will go with me and be a part of my life forever. I plan on using the skills I learned to help people who are in a similar situation I was in. People who are seeking direction and desire to find their life purpose.

Pressure brings out character in people. It makes you ask the tough questions. Having made these necessary steps to move forward and to take action. I took the negative pressure I was experiencing and turned it into a positive pressure.

In all of life’s twists and turns I’m blessed to have been on this journey. And I can now say the best is yet to come!

I am so fulfilled being able to give back to people around me and in love with each day I have to live.
