Topics: Business Opportunities, Change, Health, Inspirational, Personal Development Are you unstoppable? You will be after you hear Julie Thong’s thrilling story of how she dodged bullets and landmines as she and two siblings fled to Thailand to escape Cambodia’s murderous Pol Pot regime. Her riveting tale of courage and survival shows how an ordinary person can find the inner strength to meet any challenge. In Julie’s case, the obstacles she faced – war, slave labor, starvation – were life-threatening, but her inspirational talks show how you can apply the same strategies that saved her life to living yours more fully each day Separated from her parents and left to die in a communist concentration camp as a teenager, Julie tells how she slipped past armed guards in a daring escape and set out to find her family. Her well- educated father had disguised himself as a farmer to avoid execution, but miraculously, Julie was able to reunite with her parents. Julie and her family overcame both physical and emotional obstacles as they fled the Communists, tapping inner strength they didn’t know they had as they fought to survive. Drawing on her resourcefulness, Julie smuggled food to the border zone, selling it on the black market to sustain her parents and siblings. And in a final dramatic twist, she and her younger sister arranged for her parents – who did not want to leave their homeland – and her other siblings to be “kidnapped” so that they, too, could flee to freedom. When she came to this country, Julie applied the same strategies she’d used to survive in her homeland to creating the American dream. Today she’s an author, entrepreneur and highly successful network marketer for Usana Health Sciences Corporation. She believes that if she, as a teenager, could find the strength to survive, you can too – and her energetic talk shows how to defeat any obstacle that stands between you and success. You’ll learn how to overcome the fears that hold you back, take risks, defeat negativity, end self-destructive habits, stay open-minded, avoid repeating mistakes, forgive those who try to defeat you, heal and let go of the past – and live the purposeful life you deserve. If Julie could come to this country with nothing and make her dreams come true, then you can too. An added bonus: Julie shares the secrets that helped her regain her health after her ordeal and that kept her family thriving toda.y “No one in our family has had a cold or the flu in the past five years, despite what we’ve been through,” she says. These health strategies can reduce employee absenteeism and ease stress in the home and office so that everyone can perform better and be more efficient and creative.
