From the onset, I want to say when life interrupts you, it is not one size fits all. I understand some people are doing it tough. I respect that each person is an individual, and their way of dealing with a life-threatening illness or a complex issue may be different. This is how I have gotten through Stage IV Rectal Cancer and I hope by sharing my ideas helps you!
I understand that being a sales coach by profession and working to unlock people’s full potential to become better in pushing through sales has served me well.
Selling requires resilience, determination, and a large amount of self-belief. The three key elements in surviving a tough health issue.
People have constantly been asking me, "What are you doing to remain so strong and positive?" Having Stage IV rectal cancer is quite a lot to deal with.
I recently analysed my behaviour and the result is I was in fact following a process and a pattern of behaviour and it stems from mindset. No surprises there!
My favourite quote is ... "We all have two lives. The second one begins the day you realize you only have one." Confucius (Chinese philosopher)
Please join me to strengthen your self-belief that you can and will conquer whatever nasty disease you have! This program is for sufferers to unlock their inner strength and for loved ones to support and understand how to manage the situation better.
Please note that proceeds from this course go to Charity to further our understanding of how we can combat and treat cancer! To date, I have raised $85,000 for the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute, "WEHI". Australia's largest research institute for Cancer.
Post-production note: In my lecture class I referred (past tense) to breast and bowel cancers as "Sexy" as they receive much more attention and medical research and funding than rare cancers like rectal cancer. This is not to suggest in any way that these cancers are less traumatic than others. Any cancer is traumatic. However, from a funding perspective, they get a lot of media attention whilst rare cancers get NONE! This is a real problem for sufferers of rare cancers as we don't have the same amount of research and knowledge in this area. A lot of the time our oncologists are guessing what to do. I in no way am minimizing any cancer sufferer. It is bloody awful and I feel your pain.
