In 2000 my wife and I purchased our first new home in Carlsbad, California (San Diego), in a new gated community with a newly built tri-level home overlooking the ocean. We were so excited to manifest the home!
Nine months before we purchased the house, we didn't have any savings, no plan on buying a home, and were living month to month, like most.
In December of 1999, I was unemployed and needed to determine what I would do next as a career choice. I was burnt out from working for a small boutique recruiting firm and had taken a break. Fortunately, the Universe blessed me with a CD ROM series, Personal Power 2, by Tony Robbins.
I had heard of and seen him on a few TV shows and infomercials. So I decided to give it a try. I listened to this 30-day series as though Tony was sitting in the room with me. During those 30 days, I became ignited and unstoppable! I had a renewed sense of passion and purpose.
By June of 2000, my wife and I had earned enough to put an 80k payment down on a new home and start our own Career Consulting company. We started earning more than ever, developing business, and fulfilling the recruiting contracts.
Fast forward to 2008, the economy was in a downward spiral. We were self-employed in an industry that was starting to downsize; It was an unexpected turn of events, and we didn't have a roadmap.
Foreclosure (Homeless)
To save our home, we did what most would do, spending all of our savings attempting to keep up with the adjustable mortgage. Neither my wife nor I had formal training in these more complicated financial matters. There was no way to continue paying an escalating mortgage, and the bank had no answer. Foreclosure was the only way...
Stressful, scary, dark, nightmarish, embarrassing, and other emotions were part of our daily experience. However, I learned from my Tony Robbins Personal Power coaching that The Past Does Not Equal The Future: What happened yesterday doesn't determine what we can do today. I had to dig DEEP and use all of my positive thinking, energy, and GRIT to overcome the tsunami of negative thinking and stress that I woke up with each day and went to be with every night!
If you believe it's possible, it is. If you think it's impossible, it is!
Waking up daily with no income, job, or idea of how to pay for food is very stressful. But, our ability to manifest things based on our beliefs is more powerful than stress when channeled properly. Stress is just unfocused energy that needs to be redirected. Think about it; if you have ever spoken in front of an audience and felt anxious or nervous, it's a form of energy that we tend to label nervous, scared, anxious, etc.
But if you use a different lens and experience it as excitement, exhilaration, and enthusiasm, you instantly transform the energy into a more productive, helpful fuel.

Have you ever skydived or done something life-defying? Life-threatening events tend to equalize our focus. I'm not saying go out and do anything life-threatening, but I am saying that perspective is something that we control.
As part of my regiment, I would ride my bike for 20 miles up and down the coast each day to rechannel the unfocused energy I was experiencing. I would come back after a ride with the Eye of The Tiger!
This is not a hypothetical story; I'm sharing something my family and I survived. We also ended up thriving because we had a system for managing what we wanted our reality to reflect. It's not easy... nothing that is worth having is easy. But we all have the genetic predisposition to do some pretty amazing things, and sometimes, we need to use our God-given GRIT to channel our ability to manifest what we want.
In our coaching business, we have worked with some incredible people who have had insurmountable challenges we have helped overcome based on our coaching process and philosophy. If you have the right Sherpa team, you can climb any mountain!
I am not telling you any of this to impress you but to impress upon you that what you focus on you will manifest.
