Featured Interview With Elizabeth Hamilton-Guarino
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
In 2008, I left behind an almost two-decade career in the financial services industry in order to open the doors for the Best Ever You Network. Today, Best Ever You is a revolutionary multimedia brand and platform with millions of fans and followers around the world.
Elizabeth is a bestselling author, success strategist, change facilitator, trainer, and speaker focused on helping others root in gratitude and compassion to navigate change and breakthrough to their best success. I am the author of the bestselling, five-time award-winning book, The Change Guidebook: How to Align Your Heart, Truths, and Energy to Find Success in All Areas of Your Life and The Success Guidebook – How to Visualize, Actualize, and Amplify You. I am also the author of PERCOLATE – Let Your Best Self Filter Through published by Hay House.
When I was 25, I was diagnosed with life-threatening food allergies and has nearly lost my life on multiple occasions, once while six months pregnant with her son Cam. These food allergies and stories are documented in my books and children’s books. These experiences have helped me become a food allergy advocate helping people stay alive and thrive with food allergies. I work with multiple organizations including FAACT and MedicAlert Foundation.
My husband, Peter and I have been married for more than twenty-five years and have four adult sons, three rescued cats, and two dogs. We can often be found in Maine in their gardens, in the pool, raking leaves, or, depending on the season, in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I’ve been fascinated with books since Kindergarten. I was one of the kids who could read and write in Kindergarten so I helped the other kids learn. In 3rd grade, my teacher said, “You’re going to become an author.” That has always stuck with me.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I love reading books in the self-help genre and Jack Canfield is my favorite author and success coach. I also enjoy reading books by Lisa Gable and Liz Brunner who write about leadership and success. I am most inspired in my writing by Jack Canfield, as I feel he helps people be their best in all he goes.
I am fascinated by the topics of gratitude, change, success, and compassion and will read most books about these areas.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
My latest book is the 2nd in the Guidebook Series called The Success Guidebook – How to Visualize, Actualize, and Amplify You. It’s time for us to redefine success for our authentic selves—a one-size fits-all-concept is not only outdated but unworkable. Success is so much more than data or the dollars in our bank account. True success is reflected in the smiles that brighten our faces and the peace that settles in our hearts. It’s the gratitude we seek in all things and the intention and actions being our very best in each moment.
In The Success Guidebook, readers will find inspiration, motivation, and a pathway to live their best, most fulfilling life. By implementing my unique Ten Factors of Success—the behaviors consistently exhibited by people who stand out and behave with world-class excellence—readers will learn how to finally overcome the stubborn obstacles that have stood in their way and harness the power to move forward with clarity, a renewed purpose, and the personalized confidence to build a life of bold, brave, and infinite possibilities. Included are profiles of 20 people who exemplify these principles. Here’s the secret: You don’t need to be on a national or international platform to be world-class. You can have it right in your own home, to be and feel successful in each and every moment of your life. This book will help you learn how to tap into world-class behaviors and get the results you desire—at last.
