You have to read this book. In the first few paragraphs, I was hooked. You feel seen, heard, and motivated all at the same time. Truly, if you want your heart to open and to have access to the power to create anything you want, read this book. Underline it, study it but most of all allow Sandis words to lift you to an entirely new level. These words are anointed... you can feel it.

The Anomaly Mind-Set gives an inside look at how Sandi built multiple businesses by deviating from the usual. More than a business or self-help manual, this book is infused with hard-hitting honesty and candor about faith and the role it plays in Sandis work. As a self-described spiritual unicorn, she invites heaven into every strategy. If you find yourself stuck in the mundane and dont seem to be gaining traction, these principles are sure to launch you forward. The Anomaly Mind-Set will fundamentally change the way you live and lead.

When I met Sandi, we were either going to go forward and break through, or we were going to break down and have to do something else other than our dream. She has a unique ability to let her courage, faith, and process rub off on everyone around her. We did break through, and her advice on our new beginning in 2015 was key. I went on to have my first international bestselling book, and within a short time we published 27 projects, and our books are bestsellers in our genre on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Christian booksellers everywhere. Sandi helped to break open our view of marketing and what was available but not just as a market expert. She spoke into the identity of our process and connected us to the language to harness our audience with a unique, love-based approach, not just an earning approach.
I just got done with her book and I love it because it captures something. It captures her internal process that she has paid a huge price to refine and develop after so many life hardships. She has become unrecognizable from her past, but its because she did incredible work to believe and push herself with her faith, incredible discipline, and her self-care, which in a trifecta are so absent from most successful people.
I have always felt like somewhat of an anomaly as well, but I love how she took the stigma out of the word and it will take insecurity out of you! I felt like an anomaly, both in my natural pursuit of doing things that I am not always trained or skilled at, but also in my leadership and public speaking. I wish I had this book when I started 25-plus years agoit would have saved me countless journeys of fear. Her book is such a great branding device of courage.
Sandis vulnerability and self-awareness that has come out of her process is going to help give you an attitude that anything is possible, and that you dont have to be the sharpest knife in the draweryou just have to have the identity to use who you are well.
There is a theme in the Bible that God uses the ones who are not qualified by natural means because He can show His love to the world that if He adds Himself we will get a different result and it will confound the wisdom of man. Sandi defines being this kind of person, and she calls it a unicorn. I own that I am one of those, and her book made me excited to see what could happen if a bunch of people would just believe in the success that God intends for us.
You are limitless, and you are, as she describes, a unicorn. Let this book help you commit to the process of becoming a success at being a true anomaly.

When I first set out to write this book, my mind was in a flurry (which is not too uncommon for me), but inside that flurry were so many broken pieces, fragments, and supernatural events, that finding where to start was like hunting for a dime in a haystack. Or a penny in a sand pile. It was hard. No, actually, it was excruciating.
Every step of my career has demanded that I break through stereotypes and mind-sets that have been upheld as normal for many, many years. I battled religious stereotypes that said to make millions of dollars with your only goal being to give it away, as well as societal stereotypes that said a woman cant have a successful business and have a great life as a mother at the same time. Being judged, lied about, spoken againstand in some cases, even attackedfor my perspective was preferable to staying put, because the pain of being stuck was far greater than any risk Id ever encounter. Its been worth it, and it
