The Power of Personal Development - in a Crisis

The Power of Personal Development - in a Crisis
There are moments in Life when the work
we do on ourselves becomes glaringly
obvious. I received this email recently
from one of our Online Business Community
Members - Michelle - who is an avid
student of our Personal Development Products.
She faced a life changing situation with
her husband Carlos, and Im going to let
her words share the story with you (grab
your Kleenex). Hello Shane and Rachel,
I am writing to you to express my
huge gratitude for your selves and your
products. Carlos my partner, I am grateful
to write is good now after he had a
stroke recently. That day so many miracles
happened, all in such an incredible sequence
of events to protect him and ensure his brain and
body were ok.

Shane I thought of your water skiing
accident often after this event and I
wanted to write how much your section on
intuition on the 17 day program helped me
that day. Carlos woke up at 6am and he
was unable to talk properly and was not
able to use his right hand either, he was
looking at his hand and trying to open and
close it but could not. He also was trying
to speak in Spanish - his native language
but could not remember anything except his sons
name. The ambulance came fast, within
7minutes and luckily the ambulance driver
was a high ranking medic and could divert
the police helicopter that day to take
Carlos to Hobart Royal Hospital which is
3.5hrs from here by car. In the helicopter a
brain scan was organised so on arrival he
could go straight away to have the scan.
All of this had to take place within 4
hours as the vital injection to the brain
has to be within this time. The ambulance
medic was very sweet to me and asked if
I would be ok to drive to Hobart which is 3.5
hours by car, he said pack clothes for 7 days for
you and Carlos. I did that and started the
drive. I was very worried about Carlos
brain and was just hoping and praying to
the Universe that for his sake his brain
and body would be ok and that he could be
totally normal to live the rest of his
life. He is 56 and too young for this sort of
thing I was thinking. It was raining like
crazy and I felt empty and hollow inside,
I just kept talking to my sister on the
phone trying to think positively. At the
half
way mark my sister said get a coffee so I stopped
and went to sit in this
3
cafe. At this point a warm feeling washed
over me, it was strange, like the sunrise
warming your face after a cold night. I
knew in that moment without a doubt
intuitively that he would be ok from that
feeling. I questioned why I felt this
but decided like you mentioned in
your section on intuition to trust
this, trust became everything in this
moment. When I got to the hospital I was told
Carlos was still in ICU and no one could tell
me how he was, I started to get anxious
as its a large hospital and seemed so hard
to get any information plus with Covid
regulations I was not even allowed in the front
sliding doors.
So I was starting to doubt that warm
feeling of everything being ok, but your
voice of Trust your intuition was in my
head so I chose to stick with this in the
face of everything. 2 hours passed and no
information. Then a nurse called me and
said I have Carlos on the phone, he came
on the phone in a very happy coherent
manner and I needlessly to say was
overwhelmed by his voice. Now again we had
this feeling we should move back to
Melbourne, there are a variety of reasons
but mainly a feeling so next weekend we
are
moving. Your comment of Make a decision and make
it the right one is

• sometimes when he says my brain is not
  working properly I say it is working and
  let him know how you started counting and
  remembering numbers after your water skiing
  accident.
• Re the business, this is an awesome business to
  be in 1- For the products
• For your integrity
• For the fact its low impact on the environment 4-
  For the money
• 5- For the community 6- For the lifestyle
• I feel so blessed to be in this business
  and will make the 50k Club, I will become
  more action based and will do this, I
  need to control my worry and manage who I
  am being, for be-do-have, in the mean time
  its back to packing Michelle Bickmore,
  Tasmania.
• You can hear so clearly that upon
  reflection Michelle has been able to
  identify some key Personal Development
  Principles that have been able to guide her
  through an emergency situation give her
  the tools strategies to handle it in the
  best way possible. I can relate to this
  after experiencing a similar situation when my
  son had a seizure in the middle of an Ikea
  furniture store I was able to,
  automatically, put these Leadership Lessons
  into place to get through it.
• These are the moments, like many others,
  that we know for sure it is absolutely
  worth working on ourselves. Big life
  changes can be handled with so much more
  ease when we have the Mindset tools to
  assist us the right Principles to guide us
