You know, my entire life, I had this limiting belief that I wasn't smart because a teacher told me that and a doctor backed that up by giving me a medical diagnosis with ADHD.

So we're going to go through those today and go through how you can really break

through those limiting beliefs and experience greater success in your life.

We'll have some great stories about people like Jamie Kern-Lima, who is the founder of IT

cosmetics and how limiting beliefs almost halted her career.

We'll talk about Chris Pratt, how it then was limited in his career. And I'm going to share a story to start about how I had some limiting
