“You are enough because you exist” ~Tiphani Montgomery
To me, a true hero or heroine is an ordinary person who is able to surpass incredible obstacles through extraordinary will and effort, in order to serve humanity. I’m grateful to say that my guest today is one of such people. Pregnant at 17, with failing grades and a surplus of inner anger, Tiphani had all the odds to become an example of what not to do in life. Despite the non-existent support around her, she decided to have her baby while figuring out a way to let her inner genius shine out into the world. At the young age of 23 and with a GPA of 0 in College, she decided to write a poetry book and become a self published author. Within just one month of publishing her book, she managed to sell 2,500 copies and generate close to $40,000 dollars. She then decided to become a fiction writer and went on to write 4 best selling books, created a thriving coaching and ghost writing practice and started living a life that many people who graduate from the most prestigious colleges, don’t get to live. Most importantly perhaps, Tiphani found a way to inspire and help other single mothers to let their deepest dreams, rather than their current circumstances, determine their destiny. I invite you to open your heart and mind and learn some skills and strategies that you can apply to your own life immediately to experience even more greatness.
