Praise from Founders and CEOs…

I can’t believe Shelly Lefkoe and Vahan Yepremyan are ‘giving this away’ as a book! This could easily be a multiday workshop costing thousands of dollars, and it still would be a bargain. The step-by-step instructions to identifying and removing limiting beliefs are incredible!

Seth Greene, CEO, Nine-time Bestselling Author, Founder of Market Domination LLC, Host of the SharkPreneur Podcast

It’s so empowering to learn how to instantly eliminate your limiting beliefs. Before Shelly, I subconsciously self-sabotaged in business and relationships because of beliefs I was unaware of and that did not serve me. With Shelly’s help and incredible coaching, I’ve learned that I truly can be, do, and have anything I choose.

Christiane Seale, Serial Entrepreneur, Founder of Vitruva and Startupbootcamp

Shelly has been incredible to work with and has helped me overcome beliefs in both personal and professional life that give me control of decisions I haven’t thought I would be able to control. Makes life a lot easier and gives me power to be who I want to be. Thank you!

Jan Bednar, CEO of Shipmonk

Shelly’s work is so powerful and like nothing I’ve experienced before! Her work led to massive change from the very first session, digging deep in a structured way that is results focused. Her framework has helped me reach business goals in months that I’ve been striving to achieve for years, connect more deeply with my daughter and family, and increase my self-confidence as a leader. I am so excited she is finally sharing this with the world!

Marcos Cordero, Serial Entrepreneur (2x Exits), Founder of VentureKite

“Hitting the Wall” is a quick, effective, and valuable read. Both authors, Shelly Lefkoe and Vahan Yepremyan, draw from their personal and business experiences to highlight the importance of one’s belief system.

I came across this book during a pivotal time in my life, and it helped me better understand how my own reaction to things is the biggest trigger for my emotional state. Learning how to apply positive vs. negative meaning to a situation was eye-opening. It is a practical read with a concise message and simple steps to begin the process of changing how we are wired to think. It is no easy feat, but it is possible with the right tools!

Chapter 5, “Success on your own terms,” was especially enjoyable and inspiring. Vahan takes us on his journey of self discovery and redefining success as well as happiness.

Ellina Abovian, Emmy nominee, KTLA 5 News Reporter

In matters of finances and law – trust is a paramount cornerstone, and though should be a given, is rarely found. Over the decade that Vahan has looked after my personal and business matters there has never been a second where i have doubted my trust in his dedication, competence and commitment. Vahan and his team are meticulous and concise in their approach and really look at the whole eco-system of ones work-life rather than specific matters. This proactively protects me and my business and sets me up for success. They are the warmest people, who know their work and love their work, but most importntly who know you and care about you deeply.

Working with Vahan has truly shown to be an investment. Without question he is invested in you as a person, seeing you strive in your business, and really doing right by the law and by you. I met Vahan ten years ago and we have been working together ever since. He has grown from attorney, to confidant, now to all of the above and our business manager. His savviness as an entrepreneur, his expertise in law, and his genuinity is what sets him apart from the rest.

Christina Boyd, Co-Founder of CEO of JluxLabel, award winning fashion brand

Vahan is a very experienced and knowledgeable attorney who has provided excellent service both to me and a number of my clients. His commercial awareness and business sense are what set him apart from the competition – he knows what is important and what isn’t, and is able to get deals done quickly and efficiently. He is certainly a trusted advisor – in fact he is the first person I call for advice on any business transaction.
