Hey guys, my name is John Kim. I'm a licensed therapist and life coach putting

self betterment into a shot class because let's face it who's got that much time

these days. I come unpolished, unrehearsed, on purpose.

If you're looking for more of a wine glass, you've come to the wrong place.

I want to start with a quick story. There's a guy named Brendan Breschard. I'm sure you know him. He's all over the internet. He's a speaker. He's written six books. New York time bestsellers, has online courses, etc.

And I was listening to an interview with him today this morning and I didn't know this but he first failed at writing. He failed at online courses and

his bills were stacking up and this one late night he looked over and he saw his wife or maybe it was his girlfriend at the time sleeping under a stack of unpaid bills and for him that was the moment That was his defining moment, that image that he saw,

and he never wanted his girlfriend to worry about money.

And so that night, he wrote more than he ever wrote before and within 18 months he wrote a book

and it became a New York Times bestseller and shortly after he made roughly

four million dollars through his online courses and something that he failed to do a couple

years ago.

And I wanted to start with the story because I think that, you know, we all have a defining moment and I think many of us don't realize it you know I think that

we don't even realize that it's a defining moment or or maybe mean, is that possible?

Is it possible to have a defining moment and maybe not realize it?

Is it possible to, because usually a defining moment hits you you know you feel it it means

something I know for me my defining moments I've had I've had many but one of them

was when I first received $20.

Someone gave me 20. I never asked for it.

I was helping someone via email

and this is a long time ago.

PayPal was brand new this idea of this idea of of giving people money on internet was brand new so it was it was a trip to receive an email saying that you receive $20.
