Hi,

This week, the special guest on my Willie Jolley Wealthy Ways SiriusXM Show is Meridith Elliott Powell. Meridith is a Hall of Fame Speaker, sales futurist and business strategy speaker who gets her audiences to do the impossible – take action and lead in times of uncertainty!

Powell is a former C-Suite executive, with extensive experience in the banking, healthcare and finance industry. She has earned numerous prestigious awards and accreditations, including master certified strategist, executive coach and Certified Speaking Professional (CSP). She was voted one of the Top 15 Business Growth Experts to Watch by CurrencyFair.

Meridith helps companies globally understand disruption and how to prosper when we think differently about using disruption and uncertainty to navigate to success.

Meridith Elliot Powell offers 10 thought-provoking concepts to ponder and act on:

1. Life is uncertain. Most view uncertainty as something negative, but things can change when you are able to view uncertainty as a positive thing.
   
   
2. Focus your energy on the few things that you can influence. Whatever you focus on the longest becomes the strongest.
   
   
3. Success in life is not logical. It doesn't belong to the person born into the best family, the person with the best education, or the company with the most resources. Success is the result of your thinking.
   
   
4. Success is literally based on your attitude and your ability to focus backed up with proven strategies and knowing what to do.
   
   
5. Control what happens inside of you. Be creative, collaborative, and condition yourself to change.
   
   
6. Learn from history and get motivated by the fact that people have come through far tougher times than you ever have.
   
   
7. Every decade produces a "Covid-like situation." Look for the lessons that you can use from difficult decades of the Great Depression, World War II, The Global Energy Crisis, 9/11 and Covid.
   
   
8. Disruption and pain create opportunity, so be intentional. Distractions – weapons of mass distraction – are everywhere.
   
   
9. Because the pace of change is so fast, you can't wait for change to happen. Train yourself to thrive in what's coming in the future.
   
   
10. When you focus on obstacles you get stuck. Focus instead on your vision. Your mind finds what you're focused on.
