ABOUT THIS BOOK

Don’t get ‘stuck,’ and don’t just survive—become a successful survivor.
Millions of people fail to reach their full potential. Many want to improve their lives, but simply
do not know how. They do not understand how to turn their setbacks into opportunities, their
failures into life lessons. As a result, they feel ‘stuck’ in unhappy relationships, unfulfilling jobs and financial debt.
After experiencing so much adversity, it’s tempting to lose all hope of improving your situation.
Successful Survivors provides you with the toolset necessary to overcome the obstacles in your life. Pairing proven survival strategies with compelling, relatable stories of other survivors, this book emphasizes that the only difference between victory and defeat is your ability to apply your full potential to the adversity in your life.
Successful Survivors teaches you:
• the eight key elements to master the challenges of your past
• to find the silver lining in past trauma, gaining strength from adversity
• to discover the life-changing components evident in past survivors and how to cultivate these
in your personal and professional life

AUTHOR OF THE BOOK

Abandoned at 6 months of age to the “care” of her mentally ill grandfather and her alcoholic and drug-addicted grandmother, Rhonda spent the first 16 years of her life as a ward of the court. Most of those years were spent living in abuse and chaos, in a filthy, dilapidated shack the size of a garage (without working plumbing). Like other successful survivors, Rhonda developed the coping mechanisms that allowed her to not only survive her abandonment, poverty, hunger, and severe abuse, but to succeed in business and in life.
Rhonda Sciortino went from a humiliating beginning to living an amazing life, and she considers
it part of her Life Assignment to help others find and fulfill the good plans for their lives. Rhonda
lives in Southern California with her husband, Nick, near their daughter and her family.
