TICM 25 - Berni Xiong - How To Learn from Failure
/
This week, we have the "Shin Kicking Life Spark" Berni Xiong
Berni is an intuitive coach, speaker, and Reiki Master Teacher. She is the author of The Year of the Brave Bear: Speak Up. Stand Out. Change Your World., and contributing author of Chicken Soup for the Soul: Time to Thrive.
In this episode, Bernie walks us through how she went from corporate sales job, chasing someone else’s dream, to quitting and following her roaring misfit heart.
She started coaching from her living room with $200 start-up capital, no entrepreneurial background and a lot of ambition.
Though her seven year journey, she has gone through some serious trial and tribulations and once I heard her story and her attitude on her personal failures, I had to have her on the show.

When was the last time you did something really hard? Perhaps it was taking a super advance course or running a marathon, or how about starting a business of any sort?
How did it feel for you?
Probably like he** going through it. But when you came out of the other side - you probably felt amazing.
You want to know why?
It's not because you enjoy doing the "hard thing"
It's because you found a way to push through.
Humans love moving on the next level.
Whether it's the next level of a video game, or the next level of life, the same principle follows.
What's next? Bring it on!
If we lose that side of ourselves, we lose the will to get better and thus start losing the ability to see a bigger vision beyond our current reality.
In this episode, I keep it real with you.
We get to the root cause of why there is a beauty in doing the hard things.
