Over the last 14 years of my entrepreneurial career, I’ve built several million-dollar companies and lead well over 100,000 independent salespeople. I say this not to impress you, but to impress upon you just how many leaders I’ve been surrounded with over the last decade.

One thing I know for sure is that you don’t become successful before you become a great leader.

So I’ve finally done it…

After generating well over $20,000,000 online with over 100,000 customers in almost 200 countries, creating the most visited personal development website in the world, traveling to 46 countries and checking off a few dozen items on the “bucket list”, I’ve FINALLY decided to create a personal blog.
