__My Passion:__ My passion is my art. When I am working on an art piece I get lost in it and time flies. It relaxes me, brings me great joy and satisfaction, and is the rare time when my creative juices flow. I would like to get to my art a lot more than what I currently do, so once I get settled in to working with Lifebushido, I will definitely schedule time to work on my art. I have two commissioned pieces now that I need to get to and get finished.

__Perfect Job:__ My true perfect job would be building a real estate property portfolio that brings in a passive, residual, seven-figure income yearly, because I love real estate, and it is the best investment. Since I am not to that point yet, then the next best perfect job is working from home part-time on my computer helping clients and other Ishidos organize the necessary tasks for successful closings and listings, and helping with projects that use my current skills and develop new ones.

__Top 3 Goals:__ 1. Health – By August 2018 I will be down by 75 lbs by changing my eating lifestyle with the Ideal Protein Diet. 2. Relationships – To talk on the phone to a different friend or family member two nights each week. 3. Finance – Out of each month’s Lifebushido paycheck, I will put 10% of each paycheck into savings.

__Unique Talents:__ I believe my unique talents, unique to me, are; I am very good with organization, very thorough with things I am interested in doing, and notice if paragraphs have misspelled words or a wrong word is used in a sentence. I research everything, and do not just jump in and not know what it’s about, especially if it has to do with business or health issues to do with my mom or sister. I have also been told I am very compassionate when it comes to something I believe in. I believe I am an honest person (sometimes to a fault) and have integrity, and actually listen to what people are saying when they are speaking to me. My ability as a self-motivator helps me be disciplined working from home, and I believe it also helps me see the positive in situations and people. I can be an extrovert, but am mostly introverted, which means I do need my quiet time to rejuvenate. But, after writing all of the previous talents, what I believe my greatest unique talent to be, is my art. It is what I am very passionate about, and it is what brings me great joy, and I work as much as I can on it to get better at it. My new favorite right now is colored pencils, and I have two commissioned fine art pieces I need to get finished.

__What Animal am I?__ Graceful Giraffe

The word “grace” tends to vary in meaning from one person or situation to another, often depending upon the context in which it is used. While many see the grace of the giraffe in human-like terms such as elegance, charm, or a positive attitude, others consider it to be divine in origin. They believe that it represents that indispensable gift for the development, improvement, and expansion of one’s character. No matter how you see it, grace is a disposition that requires compassion toward others and the desire to extend goodwill. It incorporates the exercise of love and kindness—most importantly, to those who may not deserve it. Grace is as crucial in business as it is in life. This truth is embedded in the fiber of who we are, what we believe, our appreciation, and the contribution we make to society. Gracious people exhibit the following characteristics:
 * They seek to make others feel like they’re the most important person with whom they can spend time, and always put the needs of others first.
 * They live according to personal standards that are higher than any given code of conduct, and incorporate dignity, honor, and respect in extending grace to others—even when things have not gone their way.

__What is my 16-Personalities Type?__ Anonymous Advocate INFJ PERSONALITY (“THE ADVOCATE”)

__My Passion:__ I am passionate about the implementation of Green Energy. I feel a great, common, yet under-utilized source of energy is kinetic. The energy that we as human generate throughout the day. Years ago, around 2005, I had the idea that walking would be a good source of kinetic energy, the force of ones foot upon the pavement. I searched for patents on kinetic and motion machines. Last year I found a company that develops and installs special flooring that generates energy when people walk on it. One such flooring was installed in the hallway of a school in New York City. I was so delighted to see someone finally taking steps (pun intended) in this direction. I subscribed to their newsletter to follow their progress and growth. I feel they should install their technology in high impact areas, like stairways. The force upon the surface would be greater than when one is walking on a flat surface. New York City subway station stairs would be the perfect place to install their tech. Millions of people pounding, running up and down the stairs as they race to catch the train or race out of the subway to their destination could create so much energy!

__Perfect Job:__ My perfect job enables me to work from home and, when appropriate, from other locations, such as the park. I schedule the times at which I work, and the amount of time each week. I feel that I am contributing to the good of the team, feel the satisfaction of a job well done. I receive compensation that is commensurate to my efforts. I feel that I am well paid, appreciated. I have a comfortable balance between times when there is abundant interaction with those on my team, clients and service providers, and times when I can work with little or no interaction with other. My interactions are positive as we all work together to achieve the desired goal, a goal which benefits all stakeholders. I use my current creative and intellectual talents, and have the opportunity to grow, improve upon my current talents and develop new talents. I handle even stressful situations in a professional manner, staying calm and focused on the objective until the resolution of the problem is achieved. As my contributions and talents grow, my compensation increases.

__Top 3 Goals:__ 1. Health: I meditate 15-30 minutes each morning, to maintain a centered, grateful and calm focus on positive aspects of life. 2. Personal: Each Sunday I journal regarding my personal development, life experiences, and rewrite my various goals. I review my journal every 3 months to see how I achieved the goals that were set, progress towards yet to be realized goals, and to set new goals. 3. Finance: On or before December 15, 2017, my husband and I move into a new home, a house, that is to the liking of me and my husband.

__Unique Talents:__ 1. Great listener. I suspend my thoughts, have no concerns as to what I will say in response. Thus, I can focus on what the other person is saying and feeling. 2. Creative problem solver. I come up with inspired, unusual ways to get things done, to surmount or get around problems, find solutions where most feel there are none. 3. Confident public speaker. I enjoy speaking before a crowd. Instead of fearing the spotlight, I am invigorated by it. Especially if I am able to incorporate audience interaction.

__What is my 16-Personalities Type?__ Debater - ENTP

__My Passion:__ My name is Monica, as you all know. I'm very passionate about being the best mother I can be. I'm also passionate about getting an education. I'm a mother to three beautiful toddlers and I'm currently in school to get a Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice.
 * Connector:**
 * Monica Hill - US - Boyertown, PA - horselover_4life26@yahoo.com**

__Perfect Job:__ My perfect job would be a work from home job where I could spend time with my children and not miss out on their milestones. Unfortunately, I'm doing that now and it hurts. Also being able to continue to go to school to get my Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice. Though I have a work from home job now, the hours are basically my whole day so I usually am up all night doing my school work. I'd like a job where everyone can get along even if everyone has different views. A job that everyone pulls their own weight and takes responsibility for their actions, like if they make a mistake.

__Top 3 Goals:__ 1. Health: Lose weight and be happy in the skin I'm in 2. Financial: Save at least $2,000 so this way if I ever face a hardship again, I have something to fall back on. 3. Personal: Being the best parent I can be for my children and to graduate college

__Unique Talents:__ Things that I like to do best are: 1. Read: this helps me learn new things. 2. Learn new things: I love to learn, I've always been that way. I remember after I graduated high school, I missed being able to learn. I would go back and find old worksheets I had and I'd do them again. It sounds funny, I know. I want to broaden my horizons and become a better person. 3. Be the best I can be is another thing I like to do best. This motivates me to not give up, I have children and want to set a great example for them. Remind them that you can achieve anything you set your mind too. 4. Creative: I can be very creative. I like to come up with ideas. 5. Writer: I love to write. I used to write so much and unfortunately I stopped. Lifebushido gives everyone the opportunity to write and dig deep within ourselves to become better people. To learn about each other and not judge. Some of my best habits: 1. Compassionate: I love helping people. No matter if I'm going through hard times myself, I'm always willing to be there for someone else. 2. Organized: I tend to be very organized. If one is not organized, it creates a mess. I keep a schedule on my cellphone and in a monthly planner. 3. Hard worker: I'm a very hard worker! I used to put in a lot of over time at previous jobs. I think one thing that motivates me is knowing I'm doing it for my children. 4. Positive: I try to always see the good instead of the bad. Sure, I have my negative days, everyone does. Being negative doesn't get you anywhere so I tend to focus on the good. 5, Empathetic: I listen to others and understand why they feel the way they feel. I believe being able to do this not only builds connections with people it also shows that you care.

__What Animal am I?__ Enduring Wildebeest Like the wildebeest, endurance—in its simplest form—is our ability to apply ourselves for relatively long periods of time. This quality keeps our minds going when our bodies want to quit, and gives us the mental capability to continue moving forward despite the obstacles, hardships, pain, fatigue, or stress in our path. Every professional ordeal and personal hardship we encounter as we pursue our goals is an opportunity to hone this skill—which you might recognize in yourself if you exhibit the following characteristics:


 * You have resilience, or the ability to bounce back from adversity.
 * You are adept at changing conditions and responding to setbacks and pressures from multiple directions. You see problems as challenging rather than discouraging and as opportunities to develop your knowledge and skills.
 * You are an individual with a competitive edge and are always willing to invest the time and effort required to accomplish tasks.

__What is my 16-Personalities Type?__ ESFJ PERSONALITY (“THE CONSUL”)

__My Passion:__ Some of my passions in life is the pursuit of happiness. It could be something as little as playing with my son hearing him laugh or watching a movie with the family. Cooking a family meal on Sunday or just a good meal rather, last Sunday was oxtails and rice n red beans. I felt accomplished because I don't eat out at all. I guess it's quality time overall with family or friends. I also enjoy working, it gives me a since of fulfillment and getting distinguished recognition on school assignments. I like progress and change for the better.

__Perfect Job:__ My perfect job would be to own my own business. I'm currently in the making of being a nurse entrepreneur by operating my own home care business I expect it to jump off by next year and I'm currently working on the contracts for Medicare and medicaid. I also want to own property and rent them out and run the business with my husband and family. Lastly i have an isea for a video game that im drafting up in a book. It's alot of things give or take the next 10 years I want to accomplish them but by the time I come to retire I want to be comfortable. I'll work hard to create successful businesses for me and my family to inherit, take care of and expand.

Finance- I will save 50 dollars a month for unexpected occurrences like for a flat tire or house expenses. But the aim is to save for a rainy day. 3. Personal- One day out the month I will go on a date with my husband without the kids.

So knowing what I've been through and what could have been done to make it better and still persevering to accomplish the goal of finishing it's alot. Especially knowing people that have the potential to do the same things not motivated to make improvements you feel the difference of a better lifestyle.  2. Encouragement- I lived and learned a lot through living and experiencing hardships. Somethings such as setbacks and disappointments cannot be warned or avoiding but your reaction to and what to look forward to after. I'm a big believer that once you reach your peak you start to decline and i'm on 27 but look forward to accomplishing and striving a lot in life. It inspires me to move on and working with patients that lived life and the stories passed down even though some are no longer here. __What Animal am I?__ The Strategic Lion

For lions, it’s all or nothing. If their strategy fails, they go hungry. For us, however, it’s all about organizing our thoughts, ideas, experiences, skills, expertise, and expectations to accomplish a desired goal. Strategy is not just about the end; rather, it’s the means to that end. For that reason, sound strategies must be flexible, not rigid. In its simplest form it’s a basic road map—albeit one that involves and incorporates change. This might make it not only difficult to accurately read at times, but also somewhat dependent on future uncertainty. If you are a strategic person—a strategist—you will recognize these characteristics in yourself:
 * The ability to create multiple options for solving problems.
 * You chart the course that others follow by defining the tactics, steps, and resources that are required to achieve the goal while keeping the bigger picture in perspective. You remain proactive and ensure that the plan is adjusted to meet the objectives.

__What Animal am I?__ Enterprising Crocodile Enterprising means showing initiative, a willingness to undertake new projects, and a strong desire for success and achievement—all qualities that support the role of the entrepreneur. Like the crocodile, enterprising people possess the energy, creativity, and ambition required to see the possibilities in the future that others cannot see. If you are an enterprising person, you’ll see the following characteristics in yourself:
 * The ability to “think outside the box” when facing difficult problems and developing solutions.
 * A dedication to advancing both yourself and your organization through a clear mission, while fostering a culture that supports and encourages imaginative and creative solutions.
 * The determination to succeed, which also lends itself to another important trait for enterprising individuals: self-confidence.
 * The tendency to spend a lot of time working alone—something that’s paramount to business success. This emphasizes entrepreneurs’ understanding of sacrifice, and how short-term hard work will pay off with long-term rewards.
