“Extraordinary by Design has completely re-engineered my life”

After the first time that I read it, I knew and felt that I needed/wanted a complete life change. I had an ok career as far as earning a living, but it was void of meaning and depth. It took a lot for me to actually make the decision to change everything, but I knew that I wanted it. I had to just make the decision and move forward, no looking back.
As life would have it, oil and gas crashed here in Alberta, I'm in Calgary, and I got the cut like so many others. So, I read the book again.
This time though, I read the book with a different attitude. I had the attitude of breaking all the "Brules". I did the exercises in the book (this time...lol) and came to the conclusion that since I had already set the wheels (manifested) in motion with my unrelenting visualization, now was the time.
I had wanted to and began manifesting my new life with my own business. I began to make myself "unfuckablewith", that's still a work in progress, and just go for it and start my own business.
I didn't really know exactly what I wanted to do, I just knew that I wanted to be online and have a website. That's where spirituallyhip.com was born. My site is centered around spirituality, energy healing, and meditation. I have also incorporated some psychological modalities such as CBT, DBT is general "life skills", things that are not taught in our education system, but in my opinion certainly need to be.
After struggling with it and wanting to give up, I kept pushing forward and I am now on the path to becoming a Life Coach and will be implementing that into my website. Although I have had challenges and dealt with doubts, studying and re-reading Extraordinary by Design has kept me focused and motivated to have the life that I've always wanted. I'm not there yet but I am milestones away from where I was before studying and being motivated by Vishen's writing
