Dear MintShow Users & Ambassadors, In the coming weeks, you're going to hear a lot about You Are a CEO, the maker of the MintShow app. Because you're already familiar with MintShow, we want to make sure you have the latest information about what's happening and how it impacts you. Over the next 5 days we're going to answer these questions for you: What is You Are a CEO? What is The CEO Success Club? What's happening to MintShow and is anything happening to my points? What's happening to the Ambassador app (AHQ)? I signed up to be an Ambassador, what will happen to my invites? TODAY'S QUESTIONS What's happening to the Ambassador app (AHQ)? We appreciate your continued support in helping grow the movement with the AHQ app. Coming soon, you'll be able to do that and so much more. As we mentioned before we're introducing some new products (CEO Success Club) and upgrading some of our existing apps (like MintShow and AHQ). Keep in mind, with these upgrades we're saying goodbye to some of what we had in the past. For example, we've decided to combine everything you're already doing in the AHQ app into a new app simply called You Are a CEO. Don't worry, this isn't happening quickly, we'll be sure to keep you updated when this process officially happen. You can take the following steps to help in the transition: In your current AHQ app confirm your email address and password, and update them both to match your MintShow account. If you have a MintShow Account confirm your email address and password, update them both to match the AHQ app. If you don't have a MintShow account, now is a great time to get one. If you don't have an AHQ account, no problem, just wait until we release the new version and you'll be all set. I signed up to be an Ambassador, what will happen to my invites? Don't worry about all the invites that you have, they will move right over into the new You Are a CEO App and it will be like nothing ever happened. We will update you regarding the launch date as it approaches. For now, there will be no changes to anything you're currently doing. We hope this series of emails have helped you in keeping up-to-day with all the wonderful plans we have for you in the future.

My CEO Moment The moment I recognized I was the CEO of my life happened at a very challenging time. I had been taking the courses in a pilot program in High School which helped me become self-aware. This information enabled me to make a difficult choice based on my values and not my feelings. This was the moment I became completely empowered and it was like electricity filled my mind and I knew for certain I could achieve what I wanted in life, no matter what. The test of this was when my wealthy uncle back in Omaha made me an offer. He owns a contracting company, worth well into the millions, and I was just a sophomore in college when he made me one of the best offers I'd ever heard. He said, "How about you come work for me here in Omaha while you go to school? I'll get you set up with a free-ride at Omaha State, a good paying job, and I might even throw in car. What do you say?" The car alone, was reason to move if I allowed my feelings to run my life. This was so tempting to me at that age. The car was a candy-apple red 1970 convertible Camaro in near mint condition. But what seemed like the deal of a lifetime, could have easily destroyed other things I valued, like my friends, family and my relationship with my future wife. So, I turned him down -- without reservation. On the inside I was screaming because it was everything I felt I wanted: the car, the money, and schooling taken care of! But for me, my values were more important, and I could not just walk away. Believe me, it wasn't easy. But I know and understand I am the CEO of my life and today I see that by saying no I achieved my real dream, career success, and the love of my life, my beautiful and amazing wife, LaToya.

MY CEO MOMENT When I first started out in life I used to feel sorry for myself because I didn’t grow up with a family that had a lot of money. I remember that I learned from previous You Are a CEO YAAC classes that I had the power to change my circumstances. I surrounded myself with knowledge resources to level up. You Are a CEO helped me achieve my dreams of owning my own business with no investment, money, or formal training or initial plan. I began this venture in my twenties and am continuing to grow it as a self-sustaining business. I always use what I’ve learned in interactions with my clients. You can control yourself and don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone, that’s where you can grow. You can’t grow inside your box, you have to step out, otherwise you’re just stagnant. I am Brandi Watkins the CEO of my life and my business. I believe in You Are a CEO and am living proof that it works.

Statistics Say I should have Failed As a child I grew up being poor and experienced many difficult living situations. One of the worst situations was when I almost failed in elementary school because I couldn’t go to school due to being homeless and losing all of my personal possessions. Sadly, I couldn’t read until I reached the 6th grade. Later I had to start working to help support my family at the age of 12. I was able to do this because I was in the You Are a CEO pilot program in middle school. Although this might seem like a tragic story to some, this is actually where I was made strong. I understand today that your life experiences and facing hard situations make you who you are. You can choose to look at them for the bad and retreat or you can face the fear and turn the situation around with the right thoughts and actions to allow the experiences to help you grow. I am who I am today through all the successes, struggles, and life decisions I personally made. I've learned that regardless of my past, my future is up to me. And so your life is up to you. Be a CEO and run the business of you!
