Shannon is now a cancer advocate and certified life coach who has assisted many survivors who struggle with the emotional issues connected with cancer. She has been a guest on radio shows and featured in documentaries.

She has deep empathy and compassion for all cancer warriors and understands what an individual goes through once they learn of a cancer diagnosis. She can relate with having to choose treatment and how difficult it is deciding how to save your own life, especially if your doctor has given you only so much time to live.

Shannon Knight is a survivor and thriver. Having survived breast cancer twice, including stage 4, she was faced with the challenge and fear of how to save her life. She refused chemotherapy and did some radiation and mastectomy. When conventional medicine failed, her she discovered alternative healing at a hospital in Mexico. It was because of her courage and willingness to go on searching for alternative cancer treatment that she is alive today. She survived! The death sentence hanging over her head has been removed for over five years.

Since then, Shannon has become a cancer advocate and continues her education in order to help in her mission. With training as a certified life coach and other training, she helps survivors dealing with emotional issues from the cancer more forward.

Favorite Quote:

"She designed a life that she loved." -Unknown

Give yourself permission to be happy.

Key Points:

-Shannon fully recovered from Stage 4 breast cancer physically and emotionally. Her cancer spread to her bones and lungs. Since August 2011, Shannon has been cancer-free! -She learned to appreciate each day. -Happiness meant so much to her. -Shannon decided to take full responsibility for her life by seeking healing therapy and for her attitude. -She created Angels for Shannon to help raise money for her treatment in alternative therapies. -She recognizes that each person, including her own family, has their own path. She took control and walked her own path. -Her twin sister also got the same cancer and went through the same treatment with Shannon's urging. -Shannon helps women going through cancer to have hope. Part of this is to encourage these women to give. When we give, we are also helping ourselves. -She went through both physical and emotional trauma throughout her life before cancer, including being stalked. When believing that we have shame and guilt from what happens to us, Shannon said, "This is the great lie that lives within us. We are not what happens to us."

"Our attitude about what happens to us, transforms us." -Shannon Knight "The journey of breaking and being mended is the beauty. Until a wound runs its length, we don't see the full beauty of someone else." -Shannon Knight

Three Tips:

1. Evaluate our support system. -Look at it whether it's realistic or unrealistic from what to expect from them. -Get a spiral notebook and write down a page for each support person and look at it from the perspective of realistic versus unrealistic. 2. Does this make me happy? Do what makes you happy. Have passion for what you do. 3. Look at the dark stuff as helping lead you to your true path. This includes being rejected. "Rejection is redirection."

Episode 17: Bob Burg: Going From Self to Go-Giver to Success 27:54

منذ 8 years27:54

27:54

Bob Burg shares information on topics vital to the success of today’s businessperson. He speaks for corporations and associations internationally, including fortune 500 companies, franchises, and numerous direct sales organizations. Bob regularly addresses audiences ranging in size from 50 to 16,000 — sharing the platform with notables including today’s top thought leaders, broadcast personalities, Olympic athletes and political leaders including a former United States President. Although for years he was best known for his book Endless Referrals, over the past few years it’s his business parable, The Go-Giver (coauthored with John David Mann) that has captured the imagination of his readers. The Go-Giver, a The Wall Street Journal and BusinessWeek Bestseller, has sold over 500,000 copies. Since its release it has consistently stayed in the top 25 on 800ceoread’s Business Book Bestsellers List. It has been translated into 21 languages and is Bob’s fourth book to sell over 250,000 copies. Bob is an advocate, supporter and defender of the Free Enterprise system, believing that the amount of money one makes is directly proportional to how many people they serve. He is also an unapologetic animal fanatic and serves as a member of the Board of Trustees of Furry Friends Adoption and Clinic in Jupiter, Florida. Key Points: -Bob's greatest transformation occurred in his mid to late 30's. Even though he had business success, he was unsatisfied with himself. He felt he was missing an ingredient. -One of his mentors, Charlie "Tremendous" Jones suggested a book to Bob and in the book were principles by Benjamin Franklin in the form of a 13-week course repeated 4 times = one year. Bob went through the course and this helped him to transform and adopt the traits that Benjamin Franklin taught. -There are certain traits we have to work on in order to become successful. -Bob had a lack of gratitude and didn't see things in a positive way. He gossiped and talk bad about others. -His parents were the opposite and were examples of what The Go-Giver preaches. -An older gentleman where Bob worked in sales suggested to Bob that he target serving others and not on the money. This was another key transformation. "Great leadership is never about the leader. Who is it about? It's everyone whose lives you want to add value to." -Bob Burg 3 Tips: *Desire is a given and everything starts with it. 1. Seek out and find the information (you need to succeed). -Follow the system that was created by other successful people. 2. Apply the information and what you learned immediately. -Take massive action! 3. Be persistent -Outlast the "No's." -Have an attitude of "going for no's." *Have absolute belief in yourself.

And unless you assume your rightful responsibility, and begin to program your own mind, the world will program it for you." -Jack Kornfield - We must take control of our thinking to take back control of our mind. Warrior thinking takes responsibility and victim thinking blames external circumstances or others. Key Points: - Transformation happens in the darkness, growth happens in the light. - Gregg trained for months prior to making the climb in June 1998 of Mt. Rainier. - During the training at Mt Rainier, they ascended to the summit and took pictures for hours. The snow got slushy. - On their descent, the snow was really wet and as the team traversed near Disappointment Cleaver, Gregg was snapping into the rope with the trainer. Soon after, he took 10 steps and he heard an avalanche of wet, rock hard snow coming down. The snow swept him and some others away, down the mountain. As Gregg slid, he tried to determine how he was going to survive. He kept sliding towards the cliff. - He came to an abrupt stop, with only the trainer holding the rope as his hand was crushed. - Another team saw what happened and went to get rescuers. Gregg and his group waited for hours. Little did Gregg know that he had a torn PCL. - Once rescuers were contacted and arrived. Gregg and his group had to walk a mile to the rescue helicopter, all suffering from dehydration and hypothermia. They made it except one person who died from hypothermia. "Once we go through the physical, the next layer is the mental, then the emotional. When we just use those aspects up, the spiritual one is the last one. That's our purpose. That's our reason why we are alive, why we are here. And that's the one that will keep you going further than any of the other ones." - Gregg Swanson - The physical, the mental, the emotional and the spiritual are important parts to the warrior mind training. 4 Tips: 1. Challenge. How you see a challenge is important to whether or not you're going to succeed. Do you see it as an obstacle or as an opportunity? Shift your perspective. 2. Commitment. Set goals. When you have goals, see them through. Know that it takes commitment to ensure success in any endeavor you engage in. Go all in. 3. Confidence. Self-confidence is needed to reach success in your goals. Look at your past wins and your skills as a way to enhance your confidence towards a new endeavor. 4. Control. Build the control of our emotions around it. "We can create dis-empowering stories or we can create empowering stories over any event we have. It's up to us on how we want to frame it." - Gregg Swanson Favorite Books: Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself by Joe Dispenza Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill The Nature of Personal Reality - Seth Speaks by Jane Roberts.
