Defining Moments

11/12/2025

Today I am triple booked on two different coasts. How did this happen?

Which event would you say NO to? Which one is non-negotiable?

1) Speaking in Miami with the Mindvalley team (Vishen is there too) and compete in an American Idol of speaking competitions.

2) Speaking in Hollywood at a red carpet event that is also being filmed as a documentary and broadcasting live on global television.

3) My own virtul master class (7-figure book method) that is live today and people bought tickets to come.

I would love to hear from you below on what you would do in this situation?

I never thought this would be my life.
For so many years, I was overwhelmed with horrible tragic things happening.

Now I’m overwhelmed with great things happening.

Every day, I pinch myself and am grateful to be alive and living a life that truly impacts others.

I can’t possibly capitalize on all of the amazing opportunities that I have - so this is why I can’t wait to share them with you!

We need more authors, speakers, experts & mentors in the world.

There is no shortage of opportunity…or global stages…

Dating after 40? Oh honey, it’s not for the faint of heart — but it sure can be fun.

Meet Cheryl Sharp, the confidence and dating strategist helping women rediscover love without losing themselves in the process.
In this week’s Defining Moments Show, Cheryl opens up about the heartbreaks, reinventions, and one powerful realization that changed everything:

💔 You’re not too old.�🔥 You’re not too late.�💫 You’re just getting started.

From building a seven-figure real estate business to rebuilding her heart after loss, Cheryl’s journey inspired her new book — Back in the Game™ — your no-fluff playbook for finding real connection without pretending, shrinking, or settling.

If you’re ready to date with confidence, boundaries, and a little bit of sparkle — this episode (and this book) are your permission slip.

Wanted to share a great idea I saw from Sarah Park Verhoef to get sponsors in her book.

She created three things:
VALUE
URGENCY
EASY to take ACTION

Great job, Sarah!

I'm using a screenshot since this was in another group, but wanted to highlight the example!
