He's accepted the fact that he's a workaholic. His company is located in Les Cèdres and employs 34 freelancers. Entrepreneur Jimmy Sévigny from Saint-Lazare weighed almost 500 pounds at 19 and had a heart attack. He has just launched his 5th book, Force, in which, for the first time, he places psychological health ahead of physical health.

Jimmy Sévigny granted us an interview. "This book tells the story of my journey from 2016 to now. It reveals my struggles. I invite my readers to reflect on their behaviors, to take responsibility and realize that they have the power to react and change."

Although many of the people he meets at his conferences and events tell him they wish they had his go-getter side, Jimmy admits that it's not innate in him: "By nature, I'm a pantser, but I force myself to remove barriers because if I don't, nothing cool happens."

On his chapter Empowering Yourself, He continues: "A lot of people say that if they had money, they'd do more. Some time ago. we offered our programs free of charge to a series of participants, on the sole condition that we could use their testimonials at the end of the programs. No one was able to complete the programs.

So, for Mr. Sévigny, money is not the decisive driver in life changes. "I managed to lose 300 pounds when I was working for $7.10 an hour and was very poor, without a mirache diet; it's not true that health is for the rich," he asserts.

He also discusses desire, the power of the mind and self-imposed limits in the various chapters of Force. In chapter 13, he talks about the ego, that friend-enemy. "10 years ago, I used to give lectures on weight loss, and it was easy to get angry if I didn't get what I wanted," he says.

Today, for Jimmy, that's all changed: "Nobody works for me, but rather with me; decisions and orientations are made together. The gang has to be happy", he says.

Jimmy Sévigny's book Force is available in bookshops everywhere.
