She talks with us about her journey over 27 years ago to come to America. When she first arrived in New York at the age of 23 she spoke no English and had only one dollar to her name. In this episode she shares intimate parts of her story and how she was able to overcome tremendous adversity. Svetlana shares stories about being robbed of a precious possession, a moment in Russia where she “first cried out to God”, and the day she received her visa leading her to believe that “Miracles really happen”. We talk about everything from spirituality, to grit, to living a life of service. She has an incredible story that will inspire you to listen to your heart and never give up. Four Sigmatic Coffee Discount Code  Linda's website Follow Linda on Social Media @ Chickfitstudio Questions I asked Lana: ● What made you want to come to America? ● As a Korean, Russian immigrant, you came to America with one dollar in your pocket, but a big dream within your heart . How do you think that dream in your heart, though you had no money and couldn't speak the language, was the difference maker? ● You had a special pair of earrings and a bracelet that your grandmother gave to you. Can you tell us the significance of that? ● There was a moment where you had to make a choice. That is when they stole your earrings, they stole your bracelet. Your grandmother had given it to you saying, “Sell this if you need to”. Of course you didn’t want to sell it. Here you are getting ripped off by a bunch of hoodlums. Your moment was whether you fold up and go back to Russia, or push forward. So tell us about that moment and how that brought you clarity. ● How did you meet the guy who knew Bruce Lee so well? ● What is the universal language that we all have to communicate with? ● How can people rewire their mindset? And how important do you think that is to their success? Topics discussed: The importance of consistency and small steps: ● Doing one push up is better than nothing. ● Focus on what you can do not what you can't do. It's a lot more than what you think. ● “A lot of us are waiting for a big success, a break through. In reality, it's what you do everyday.” ● The power of the compound effect. If you write one page a day for a year, you will have over 300 pages written of your book. The importance of mantra chanting: ● Certain notes activate energy in your body. ● Opening your heart is very important. ● It helps you feel loved. ● The more you practice everyday, you will be in a constant state of peace and bliss. ● “The more you love your life, the more life is going to give you back.” ● Resource: Thomas Ashley-Farrand “best book on mantras”. What to do when fear comes: ● Read self development books. ● Go to a workout class. ● “Keep on keeping on.” ● “Fear is a mental statement.” Ways to enjoy the simple pleasures of life: ● Buy flowers. ● Buy a candle. ● Buy a tiny piece of chocolate. ● Go to national parks. ● It’s about mindset. What to do when you feel stuck in your job: ● If you want to start something new, make a small step. ● When you start, you will create the map. ● GPS - be Grateful, be Purposeful, and Start. ● Start building your business with simple things.

Success, Immigrants, Coaching, Resources, Attitude   Summary   Could it possibly be true that when it comes to attaining success, a penniless immigrant actually has an advantage over someone native born? We'll look at that in our Thought of the Day. And in our interview segment, we'll speak with someone who indeed emigrated to the U.S. at a very young age with his family. He had no money and didn't speak English, but he has truly realized the American Dream. That and more on today's show.   Bob's Thought of the Day   We'll explore:   Inspiring examples of modern immigrants, many of who escaped communism, poverty, and even Nazi persecution. Americana stories of my friends Svetlana Kim, Ha Tran, and my dry cleaner, Chan--all immigrants who have built successful lives. Why many immigrants who come into this country without much money, hardly a grasp of English, and from a country in which people are not at all free, actually have an advantage.   Interview with Bedros Keuilian   You'll discover:   What it means to have the “immigrant edge.” Why we can appreciate what we have in this country even despite economic downturns. Sage advice from Bedros' father: “As long as you serve this country it will serve you and give you the opportunities you want.” How to be resourceful when you don't have the resources. Why we are the barrier to our own success. How Bedros went from getting paid $13/hour as a trainer in a big box gym to owning his own personal training studio in only 8 months. The value of having a great mentor who can coach and teach you.   Click to Tweet   Be like an #immigrant and get resourceful. @bedroskeuilian #success If you keep #serving then this country will let you succeed. @bedroskeuilian #success The grass isn't greener on the other side.
