15 Best Life Lessons Learned
Hi! I’m Mary Ellen.
A wife of over 55 years, a mom, grandmom, encourager, and entrepreneur – dedicated to helping you become the person you want to be and have the family life of your dreams.
My coaching started 40 years ago when, as a young mom, I found myself in the direct selling industry. I was looking for a way to add income to our budget while maintaining our family values of God first, family second, and business third. During my career, I built two multi-million dollar sales teams.
I know the value of building self-esteem and self-confidence in women who want to excel in business. That was a massive part of my climb to success. I was enthusiastic and ambitious like you, but I knew something was missing. I found answers in my growing faith and other areas of personal development.
Today I offer Personal and Group Coaching for entrepreneurs and other leaders wanting to increase their self-confidence, self-esteem, and self-love – all of which are necessary to produce high levels of income and rewards. My audience-tailored presentations are chock filled with encouragement for business and personal growth. One-on-one coaching is available on a limited basis.
I welcome Keynote Speaking and Workshop Facilitating to help you encourage and build your organization’s members from the inside out. Some of my most popular topics are:
• Falling in Love With Yourself Comes First
• Learning to Identify, Prioritize, and Live Your Core Values for Ultimate Happiness
• Leadership Through Relationship Building
• Understanding and Overcoming Limiting Beliefs
• Practical Tools to Help You
• Increase Your Intimacy with God
• Discover What is Special About You - How to Best Use Your Gifts & Talents to Reach Your Goals
In “Follow Your Heart for Life – Be Happy! 8 Steps for Women of Faith to EXCEL in Sales, Leadership, and Personal Growth”, Mary Ellen shares the lessons and concepts she followed to build two multi-million dollar sales organizations. You will know what to do next as you move your business to higher levels. You will grow as a leader as you do the exercises included. When you succeed, you will inspire team members to follow your example.
There are many parts to building a well-run, profitable, and enjoyable business. Direct selling businesses are no exception. Some of the areas that require specialized training, knowledge, and skill are:
- • Identify, prioritize, and live your core values. (See Chapter 8 – start there if you are serious about being happy in your work).
- • Visualize what you want.
- •Coachability. Don’t try to wing it.
- • Share what you learn with others, especially your leaders.
- • Choose your vehicle for making your dreams become your reality. If direct sales, choose your company wisely.
- • Willingness to improve money management skills in personal life and business.
- • Open-minded to the value of ongoing personal development.

Mary Ellen and Bob brought their 50 years of marriage experience and communication techniques to the couples who attended our Conference. Mary Ellen and Bob shared inspiring stories and examples of how to increase closeness. Their interactive style gave the couples private time to discuss and share intimately on topics vital to the growth of a godly marriage. Mary Ellen and Bob's honesty about their own marriage inspired our couples with courage to speak openly with each other.

As a teaching leader for a Moms' Mentoring Group of nearly 100 women at our church, I have happily welcomed Mary Ellen Hastings as a Special Guest Speaker twice over the course of two years. Mary Ellen has a zest for life, respect for her husband and a contagious love for God. She beams with joy and her words are pearls of wisdom. I would encourage other women's groups to invite Mary Ellen to bless them with a visit as well.

I would recommend this book whether you just got engaged or have been married for 20 years. There are so many life lessons and different ways you can learn to communicate better with your significant other or spouse. I learned you can be yourself and do things you love but also come together and do things you love together. 5 out of 5 stars!!
