9 Million Ways to Win ft. Michael Bernoff
Summary:
What’s keeping you awake at night?
In today’s episode of the ‘I Own It’ Podcast by Ben Reinberg, I am joined by Michael Bernoff, a speaker, coach, entrepreneur, book author, President and Founder of the Human Communications Institute, and the CEO and Founder of his self-named company, Michael Bernoff.
Michael is the get-go-guy for self-development and personal transformation. He works directly with corporate executives to worldwide leaders. His own journey to self-discovery wasn’t easy, but he managed to conquer and be his living proof that every person has the potential to overcome limiting beliefs and achieve a life beyond limits.
His book entitled ‘Average Sucks: Why You Don't Get What You Want (And What to Do About It)’ which took him 9 years to write and only to finish in 3 hours is another massive revelation of what he can offer.
As of this writing, Michael has been in the industry of self-development for 22 years and his passion beyond the mission to empower individuals is truly inspiring. Now, he shares his experience of how he started his mental game as the master influencer and his 9 million ways to win in life.
So join Ben and Michael to hear it straight on how everyone is a drug dealer of words and why you deserve better than average!
