Warning!

What You’re Currently Doing May Not Take You Where You Want to Go.

Have you ever felt like the super-successful are just incredibly lucky?

Do you still have a dream burning in you to be financially independent?

Why do some people catch all the breaks, get promoted, seem happier and healthier?

Maybe you’ve heard

one of these:

“You need to work harder!”

“The secret is getting more education. Go back to school.”

“Just be a suck-up at work to get ahead.”

But then you see that someone who doesn’t work as hard gets that management job.

You don’t have the time or money to get another degree.

And there’s no way you’re kissing up to the boss if that’s what it takes.

 Maybe you’ve set some goals and then missed them. You’ve probably heard:

  • You weren’t dedicated.
  • You lack organizational skills.
  • You need a system.

Yeah, great. You buckle down and try again, but something doesn’t seem right.

I know. I’ve been there. Read on to hear my story, of how I started with next to nothing and learned success from the bottom up.

There Is a Better Way

Picture yourself driving on a winding, country road. Suddenly, a disheveled man jumps onto the road. He looks like he’s been in an accident, bleeding, panting from exertion, running in your direction. “Stop!” he calls out. “The bridge ahead is out! I wrecked my car and jumped out in time. I ran back to warn other drivers!”

 What do you do? Do you keep driving along and ignore the warning? Of course not!

 You stop. Not many of us would want to fly down a highway risking our lives after a warning like that one.

 Many years ago, I heard a speaker share that story. It was a humorous way to get the point across about warnings. That same point is relevant today.

Hey, You!

Let me be that man in the highway, waving to you, trying to flag you down along the journey of life. I’m saying, “Don’t make these mistakes!” with the hope you will heed the warning and successfully make it to your intended destination. There are secrets that can propel you forward.

You Can Access the Wisdom of the Most Successful!

I started with no money and no magical idea. When I was very young, I worked as a busboy in a small restaurant. I watched drunks at the bar blow their paychecks. I saw others grow businesses by the millions each year. Same place, different story.

It was like that at home, too. I tell that story in the preface of my book.

Why did some succeed and others fail?

It became the study of my life, my passion.

When I finished my degree, I was buried in debt and unsure of what to do next. I didn’t even consider happiness and fulfillment.

If I Did It, You Can, Too.

Naïve. When I started as a busboy, I didn’t even know what the job was. I thought I would be working on a bus. And beyond that, when I went to school, I was clueless how to succeed.

Maybe your story is like mine:

  • Born in obscurity
  • Grew up in a small town
  • Worked part-time jobs through school
  • Went on to get a degree… And then another
  • Graduated with a mountain of debt

Not only did I not have a silver spoon, I was a bit jealous of anyone who did.

So how did I go from that humble start to where I am?

Long BEFORE I was a CEO, I was financially secure. With no inheritance. I learned to become debt-free with enough money to do what I want to do, not what I have to do.

How did I:

  • Get promoted faster than others on my team?
  • Receive invitations to amazing events like a dinner at the Supreme Court of the United States?
  • Gain access to the world’s best minds, interviewing and networking with celebrities, politicians, business leaders, and sports legends?
  • Get invited to star-studded events including a party at Prince’s home?

I learned the secrets of success.

The Powerful Have Something You Don’t.

They have a formula.

T hey have the principles of success, handed down from one generation to the next. How do I know? I’ve interviewed over 1,000 of the world’s most successful people. I’ve studied success my whole life.

I’ve read thousands, yes, thousands of books. I’ve condensed all of the information, all of the books, all of the stories, all of my own experience into a simple story that will help guide you along your success path.

IF YOU’RE SERIOUS ABOUT CREATING YOUR BEST FUTURE…

 Then, this book will help you on your journey. And that’s what it is. I want to be alongside you for the ride, cheering on your success.
