Brave Shift - by Michele Kehrer (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

If you've ever tried to change your life or business, only to slip back into the same patterns, you're not broken. You just need a shift.

Dr. Michele Kehrer knows what it takes to create lasting transformation. She's a business growth coach, serial entrepreneur, and four-time cancer survivor who has rebuilt her life and career after illness, divorce, and setbacks that would stop most people in their tracks. Her secret? Thirty small but powerful mindset shifts that, one by one, change everything.

In Brave Shift: 30 Mindset Changes to Transform Your Life, Michele blends real-life stories, sharp humor, and hard-won wisdom to show you how to get unstuck and build the business and life you actually want.

This prescriptive self-help guide blends funny, real-life events with the life lessons they inspired, proving that a few small mindset shifts can create the reality you dream of.

Guided by her philosophy that even the hardest times don't have to be that dire, you'll learn how every experience can be either a good time or a good story. Michele will guide you to see your setbacks not as failures but as stepping stones toward achieving balance, overcoming obstacles, and creating the mindset for success you need in business and life.

As you read, you'll discover how to:

• Turn setbacks into stepping stones that fuel your next big win.
