Lisa Nicolette

Description

The goal of this book is to motivate, inspire, and encourage those that survived cancer, a life threatening illness, or serious accident. Wounded Warriors and servicemen are also welcome. The purpose of this book is to lead by being an example to others. I survived two life threatening illnesses and moved forward to achieve and fulfill lifelong goals and refused to settle for a life of quiet mediocrity!

Motivation is the key and will propel one to move forward by reaching beyond many of life's difficult challenges and is paramount if one desires to fulfill their dreams regardless of the odds and live for a purpose. This book will demonstrate by using real life situations and visual images of what motivation can look like when faced with extreme adversity. This is very motivational and inspirational in nature and will send a positive message to all ages and backgrounds by giving a message of hope.

I survived stage one breast cancer while training to compete in bodybuilding and fulfilled a lifelong dream against what many considered to be impossible odds! Motivation fueled by unstoppable determination enabled me to compete and place in the NPC after surviving two life threatening illnesses. My desire is to pass a dose of motivation onto others so they can achieve a better outlook and quality of life and pass this benefit onto their families.

TABLE OF CONTENTS: FITSURVIVIOR
BIO: LISA NICOLETTE
Here is some background information.
My goal is to motivate anyone who has survived an illness, injury, or any difficult challenge by demonstrating what I have done using my own challenges.
UNUSUAL FACTS: I tried out for the American Gladiators, advised to train for the Olympics in Archery as a child competitor, earned a fist degree black belt in Shorin-Ryu during college, applied to the FBI, US Air Marshals, and almost made it into the Secret Service for special agent position.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: I have always been very active and naturally athletic. I tended to have more upper body strength as a female and adapted well to sports requiring this ability. When I was only eleven years old I was competitive in Archery and the coach advised my family to send me to Canada for more advanced training so I could try out for the Olympics. I became interested in weight training and bodybuilding and started training while in High School. During college I earned my first degree black belt in Shorin-Ryu karate and focused more on calisthenics and fitness. I entered the Criminal Justice profession with the goal of gaining entrance into the FBI, Secret Service, or US Air Marshalls and specializing in psychological profiling. My college research was on serial killers and causal factors. Unable to get into Federal Law Enforcement I used the same tenacity and work ethic and entered corporate America in outside business to business sales with the goal of getting into Pharmaceutical sales or Medical Device. After landing a “dream job,” in advertising sales, I had been diagnosed with stage one breast cancer within days of accepting this opportunity. From the time I was first diagnosed with cancer, I went nuts in the gym and trained harder than ever! I’m a breast cancer survivor and NPC level athlete in the figure division of bodybuilding. I started competing after radiation treatment and did many fitness challenges before and after treatment. The name fitsurvivor started out as a nick name at the gym! Some guys saw me doing pull-ups, tricep dips and females don’t usually do this kind of exercise. When I told them I was a breast cancer patient, they couldn’t believe it. I like the name and it was a good fit for what I do; a fit survivor!
STATEMENT: Never settle for a life of quiet mediocrity and never listen to those that tell you to take less than what you are worth!
Check out chapter 7. I have listed resources for cancer patients and valuable websites that many don’t even realize exists. I also have links to my magazine articles, interviews, and blog.
This eBook was inspired by God and all I did was write it!
