The Vault with Sonja Martinovic

Join us for an inspiring conversation with Joel Brown, the self-development leader and founder of Addicted2Success, the world's top personal development website. We explore Joel's incredible journey from working in a sales company in Perth, Australia, to becoming a global influencer. Joel shares a pivotal moment when he met Jordan Belfort, the original "Wolf of Wall Street," who challenged him to envision his future success, sparking his passion and leading him to create his highly successful platform. This chapter underscores the importance of setting big, bold goals and how these experiences have shaped Joel's mission to inspire others to achieve their full potential.We then explore people's different mindsets in their professional lives and how to overcome procrastination. Whether you're content with a nine-to-five job, seeking entrepreneurial freedom, or aiming to climb the corporate ladder, growth is essential. Fear of failure and criticism often lead to procrastination, rooted in the fear of repeating past mistakes or facing an uncertain future. We offer insights into overcoming these avoidance behaviors to achieve significant goals, emphasizing the importance of both horizontal and vertical growth in your career.Lastly, we highlight a transformational coaching success story of a woman from Chile who transitioned from a struggling nine-to-five worker amid civil unrest to a successful coach. This chapter focuses on identifying and overcoming personal limitations, healing childhood traumas, and reconditioning mindsets. We emphasize the importance of being coachable and fully engaging with the coaching process. Her journey, which includes mastering branding, marketing, and client acquisition, ultimately led her to leave her day job and achieve significant success, including amassing 150,000 TikTok followers. Additionally, we discuss the importance of having a spiritual connection with God, incorporating divine wisdom into life decisions, and practicing patience and surrender.01:16 Joel Brown's Inspirational Success Story11:48 Navigating Career Choices and Overcoming Procrastination22:47 Transformational Coaching Success Story35:56 Surrender and Connection With GodAbout Joel:Joel Brown is a trailblazing self-development leader who has inspired 372 million people worldwide with his #1 personal development website, Addicted2Success. Over the last 14 years directly impacting over 12,500 lives through hands on training, conferences and retreats.Joel is a seasoned expert trainer and coach in self-development, unconscious repatterning, trauma work, problem solving, critical thinking coaching, executive coaching and kinesthetic transformation for teams and leaders.Joel has built two 7 figure online self development businesses and is highly sought after for his ability to build massive online communities, monetize online brands, and has featured in 4 documentary films with the world's top leaders such as Richard Branson, Gary Vaynerchuk, Bob Proctor, The Dalai Lama, Grant Cardone, John Assaraf, John Mackey (Co-Founder of WholeFoods) and more.Joel is a dynamic speaker who travels the world sharing his wisdom and is featured in the hit movie "Think & Grow Rich" which is the classic self help book Napoleon Hill.He hosts the highly successful Addicted2Success podcast, with over 6.2 Million Plays & Downloads over the past 4 years + over 9 Million plays on his Youtube channel featuring thought leaders such as Tony Robbins, Matthew McConaughey, Simon Sinek, Les Brown and more.Joel is a persuasive and influential leader who inspires others to reach their full potential.
