Before Covid hit all of us I was doing an exciting sales project. I was a regional manager for an FMCG firm handling a team of 230 sales reps.
Just before Covid hit us at the fag end of 2019 there was a little slump in the share market & my company’s shares were going down consistently which eventually made me cut short my team from 230 to 65. I had to call all 165 of them to my office & make them sign a pre-printed resignation letter in a span of 3 days. There was a lot of resistance, someone’s Dad fighting cancer, someone’s children were in the hospital, someone’s wife was in her last month of pregnancy, some of them called me late at night drunk bribing me to save their job. This was my first Job & the entire process of layoffs was traumatizing. Although I had been meditating daily back then, my meditations went shallower every day & I started developing anxiety which became severe after Covid.
Things became overwhelming when I shifted to my parent's place after Covid since I was living with my parents after 10 years of staying out. Now I had an unfulfilling job, a toxic relationship with my Dad & a toxic relationship with my GF. Since I had paid off my study loan which I took for my master's degree & also saved enough to sustain myself for a year I decided to leave my job on Aug-2020 & introspect about my choices. I started learning music since I am good at singing & playing guitar, I thought there is a career choice & I was right, just that I realized the road is longer than I expected since I was aiming for becoming a songwriter in the Indie genre & it might take 2-3 years to get to a good level in that. But I was lacking focus, my toxic relationships were getting overwhelming & I was going under depression, totally confused about my career choice, fucked up relationship with my Dad & my girlfriend, my social life had already been a bummer, completely unclear about my emotions, highs going higher & lows going lower. I had never left hope though, I knew I’ll turn things around by meditating.
I started focusing there & that’s when Jon & Missy appeared from nowhere with a magic wand to straighten up things in my life. Right after taking the assessment, I realized my emotional area is going down the drain & I need to save it. There was already a piece of advice to focus on health & fitness for that & I took it seriously. I started working out daily, restarted my Yoga & meditation practice & guess what I never had to look for motivation to do so.
The purpose I wrote for my Health & fitness was just enough to keep me motivated for going to the gym & continuing my meditations.
My emotions have already gotten better before reaching the emotional category but once I completed the emotional life category my mind was blown away completely. I literally couldn’t sleep that night. To take action I was identifying my areas of recurring pain, that’s when I got a clue that I needed to address my relationships with my Dad & my GF but I wanted to wait till I got to love relationship & social.
Starting with that Lifebook has blown my mind in each & every category since then. I realized I need to practice courage to fully express myself, since I’m an introvert I needed that to help each & every area of my life. I have been associated with a spiritual organization called “The Art of Living” & so I was already great at meditation, which helped a ton to pull my life together but putting it in a framework of spiritual life was a complete game-changer.
In the love relationship, I realized how my belief in unconditional love was dragging a toxic relationship for 2 straight years. I finally mustered the courage to get rid of it. That day was hard since I’ve been bad at confrontations in such situations but right after the break-up, I felt so so light, like a boulder got off my back. Although I have no intention of kids right now parenting category was so amazing for me since I had complaints about how my parents handled me in my childhood & also because now I’ll have to parent my parents.
Social again blew my mind. Gave me a great platform to practice courage since it was hard for me to be vulnerable with friends but I realized if I choose right, being vulnerable can actually create some amazing bond with the right person.
Before Lifebook, I had amazing mentor-mentee relationships but Lifebook thought me to have real deep meaningful friendships & I can never thank Jon & Missy enough for this. I was associated with an entrepreneurial group where we had discussed our limiting beliefs around money but the way Jon described it made me fall in love with money much more. The best thing was this before whenever an Idea used to come to my mind it first goes around looking for how much money I can create with it now I first dwell around how much value I can create with this idea for other people & this right here was a complete game-changer. I had to watch the career video twice to get to a breakthrough but I couldn’t sleep the whole night after that. I was completely confused in this area & even lost hope after watching the video for the first time. I know I can get a well-paying job even after a year of a gap since I’m a graduate of an elite B-school begging top rankings in India but I had experienced that & it was unfulfilling. I was in search of meaning, like-minded people, fulfillment, excitement & I can’t have that if I got back in an FMCG sales or marketing job. But something happened the next day & I decided to go through the career category video again. I tried to go full in on it writing all the things I loved, I am good at, that can add value to people & take care of me financially but I never considered life coaching until Jon spoke about it in the video. I immediately paused the video & rated it around all the four criteria & that blew my mind. I have been amazing at mentoring people, I had been already mentoring a few of them through my involvement in “Art of living” & an entrepreneurial group. I love it when people tell their stories of how my advice transformed their approach & reap great results. I am amazing at empathizing with them & I’ve consciously worked on my listening skills in the last 3 years. I know with life coaching I can add tremendous value to people around me, I mean my life had always been about personal development & helping people around me grow & I know it has tremendous financial potential. I literally went out on the web searching for all the courses & material I can refer to around life coaching & get started. This was the first time I felt my eyes burn looking at a bright bright future.
To add a cherry on the cake I heard about the Lifebook leaders program in an FAQ video & boy was that exciting. I had been thinking all through the program as to how can I thank Jon & Missy enough, I know 500 bucks is not enough for this program & weighing the transformation with any monetary value is useless but I know I will pay the actual price when I live a 12 category smart life & inspire people around to do the same. I can dedicate my entire life to being a Lifebook leader.
Thank you so much Jon & Missy. Lastly quality of life is why we’re doing all this & the video really helped me get some guilt around having the best stuff for myself, go away, At this point, I started realizing how connected everything was but only after life vision I got a real picture of it. I could literally feel pulling my life together & living my life vision. Oh boy, was that an experience priceless.
I have been practicing manifestation since 2012 but I had never tried something so powerful. Lifebook has given me many sleepless nights but I feel more powerful now, It has been an overwhelming journey of feeling Grateful, fulfilled, peaceful & loved for which I will always be indebted to John, Missy, Alex & everyone in this community. I know I have written too much for you to read Alex but I had to let it out. Thank you so much!
