24 Oct 047: To move on from where you’ve been before, you need to change who you were before – with Melyssa Moniz
“If you want to step up and move beyond where you’ve been before, that means you’ve got to be someone you’ve never been before’.
Whenever you step outside of your comfort zone, you’re going to meet your ego. You’re going to meet your fears. You’re going to meet you feelings of inadequacy. You’re going to meet your limitations – which are all self-imposed”
In this episode I chat with Melyssa Moniz – an International Speaker and Social Impact Entrepreneur, a Master Neuro-Linguistic Programming Coach, Master Hypnosis Coach and a certified Sales and Marketing Consultant.
A 4 time author, she has mentored over 10,000 clients worldwide in business and lifestyle strategy.
