I’m Merri-jo,
Nice to meet you
Giving back has been in my DNA forever, but in the past 30 years it has manifested itself in three distinct ways:
Missions: NYC and Brazil annually as well as providing pro bono legal services.
Health: Certified nutrition coach for over 20 years.
Mindset Mastery: Self-development coach for those who are held back from living life to its fullest from negative programming in their past.
Who am i?
I grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in a poor family of 6, the youngest of 4 children all born within 4 years: dad an engineer, mom an artist. I worked diligently “to never do anything that would limit my possibilities in life” because the world was filled with endless possibilities. That resulted in my graduating in the top of my High School class, Order of the Coif (top 10%) from UW Madison Law School, getting a Masters in Tax at NYU, practicing at Foley and Lardner, the best law firm in Wisconsin, and then being hired away by one of the top publicly traded corporations in Wisconsin as their new Vice President and General Counsel…at 28 years old!
A few years later, I left the ethically challenging environment of corporate America to buy my own business in Texas. From there I have owned and started numerous companies, and established my own foundation called Changing Environments which helped me avoid taxation on a $1 million+ gain on a $20,000 investment. My charity continues to support individuals and families with methods to breakthrough and resolve conflict in a way most never knew, as well as supporting evangelism around the world. Personal relationships are the core of our existence, and I am passionate about eliminating “brokenness.”
When you support people to experience breakthroughs setting them on trajectories of greatness, it is incredibly fulfilling. I embrace my heart-felt desire to empower thousands of people to lead fulfilled lives based on their individual desires, definitions of success and choices in how they desire to make a difference. I am hopeful I can impact your life so you too can create what you were called to do and live out a joyful and fulfilled life.
Company Background:
I started my newest company, Global Mindset Mastery Association, in 2018, with the intent to impact thousands of lives in experiencing their breakthroughs so they too can release their limiting beliefs and experience the dreams they had only hoped to accomplish. I began with one course called “Kryptonite Breakthrough” as we all need a base course of understanding the “kryptonite” in our live, understanding what we have unintentionally stored in our subconscious mind controls us and take action to “rewrite” it. As Jim Rohn said, “If you fail to control your mind, you most assuredly will control nothing else in life.” The hunger and demand was so great for “MORE” that I joined forces with an incredible coach, Patrick Dean, MA Psychology, who actually was instrumental in my “awakening” back in my late 30’s, to add two additional advanced courses: “Live Your Empowered Life” and “Mastery of Courage and Discipline.”
I excelled at everything in my life but, nonetheless, still found myself looking. I was frustrated with the world around me, not sure what direction to take and only through the self-discovery work in my late 30’s did I truly find my voice. Every day I live in total gratitude for the incredible results my efforts have created, and with my #1 core value being contribution, I encourage each and every person who crosses my path to take advantage of this opportunity. Are you one of those?
