Bri Clark is a real example of redemption and renewal.  Growing up penniless in the South, Bri became a master at street smarts.   Rebelliousness, she claims, was a strong understatement to describe those formative years.  As a teenager, her wakeup call came after a fight with brass knuckles and a judge that gave her the choice of shaping up or spending time in jail.  She took that opportunity and found a way to move up from the streets.  She ended up co-owning a successful construction business, living the high life, until the real estate crash caused her to lose everything.  She moved west and found herself living with her husband and 4 kids in a 900-square-foot apartment.  She now spends her time writing, blogging, and helping authors build their platforms.  She understands what it takes to overcome life’s obstacles.   She often tells friends, “I can do poor.  I’m good at poor. It’s prosperity that I’m not used to.”

In our video interview, Bri explains:

* How financial ruin freed her up
* The silver lining in 150 rejection letters
* How conflict, when used right, can serve your interests
* Why you should ask for help
* How she started her own consulting business and published 5 books in a single year

We also talked about the daddy complex, becoming a Mormon in the Bible Belt, raising step-children, the greatest gift a man could ever give his daughter, and the key to her healthy self-esteem. “I think it’s because I’ve never let myself down. “
