From Mom of Six to Certified Success Coach: My Journey with Jack Canfield

Hello, lovely readers!

I'm Leona Burton, a mom of six incredible kids, CEO, and founder of Moms in Business International. Today, I'm excited to share my journey of earning an advanced certification in success coaching with the legendary Jack Canfield. It's been a whirlwind of growth, learning, and a sprinkle of chaos—just the way I like it!

Why Success Coaching?

Let's be honest, juggling six kids and running a business isn't a walk in the park. There are days when just finding a matching pair of socks feels like a major victory! So, why add success coaching to my already full plate? The answer is simple: I believe in continuous growth. As a mom and a business leader, I'm always on the lookout for ways to empower myself and those around me. Plus, who wouldn't want to learn from the best in the business?

The Jack Canfield Experience

Jack Canfield, co-creator of the *Chicken Soup for the Soul* series, is a name synonymous with success. His teachings have inspired millions, and I was thrilled to dive into his coaching program. The course was a perfect blend of theory and practice, covering everything from goal setting and visualization to the Law of Attraction.

One of my favorite parts of the program was Jack's emphasis on self-care and balance. As moms, we often put ourselves last, but Jack reminded us that we can't pour from an empty cup. His practical tips on managing time and energy were game-changers for me.

Balancing Act: Mom Life and Coaching

Completing the certification wasn't without its challenges. Picture this: I'm in a Zoom session with Jack Canfield, discussing the nuances of goal setting, while my two-year-old is using my leg as a climbing frame. Or the time I had to explain to my teenager that "visualizing success" did not mean visualizing more screen time.

But that's the beauty of it all. My journey wasn't perfect, but it was real. And in those moments of chaos, I found my strength. I learned to embrace the unpredictability of life and use it as fuel for my coaching practice. After all, if I can keep six kids alive and happy, I can definitely help others achieve their dreams!

Bringing It All Together

Now, as a certified success coach, I'm excited to bring these new skills to Moms in Business International. My mission has always been to support and empower fellow moms, and this certification adds a powerful tool to my arsenal. Whether it's helping a mompreneur navigate the challenges of starting a business or supporting a stay-at-home mom in finding her purpose, I'm ready to make a difference.

Final Thoughts

Completing my advanced certification in success coaching with Jack Canfield has been a transformative experience. It's taught me that success isn't about perfection—it's about progress. It's about setting goals, visualizing success, and embracing the journey, no matter how bumpy it may be.

So, to all the moms out there juggling kids, careers, and countless other responsibilities, remember this: you are capable, you are strong, and with a little bit of guidance and a lot of heart, you can achieve anything.

Thank you for joining me on this journey. Here's to success, laughter, and the beautiful chaos of motherhood!
