Janet Perez Eckles, author and speaker, smiles big and her feet tap to the rhythm whenever salsa, flamenco or any upbeat melody plays. She shares her incredible life story from being born in Bolivia, immigrating to the US and then losing her eyesight. Did that stop her incredible journey to success? Most people would think that it would be too hard or devastating to accomplish any of the things Janet went on to do. Listen in to hear Janet share about how she was able to do all these things, never give up and believe that she was bound for great things.
Here's some words from Janet to you: "I’ll teach you the same path that took me from fear to faith, to success and confidence. Initially, I feared that blindness at 30 would stop me from a full life of abundance. I worried that the tragic loss of my son to violence would erase hope of happiness and joy. I dreaded living a life with injustice when the man responsible for his death was acquitted. And when my husband left me, I fought anxious moments that rejection brought.
My life might seem one of adversity. But through God, my story shines with victory and joy. That’s why for 20 years, I’ve dedicated my life to show you, no matter what setback you’re facing, how victory is won, how fear is overcome and how true richness in life is found. I believe your own success, victory, and triumphant life are only as close as your determination and faith. My commitment to you is to prove how adversity doesn’t have to stop you and situations out of your control don’t have to slow you down. While the rest of the world is sinking in fear, together we’ll find that unique path that allows you to soar to personal triumph and professional success."
