Who I Enjoy Working With: People who want to get the chains (of mediocrity) off. People who want more freedom in their life. Parents who want to see their kids more. Burned out professionals who want a higher quality of life. Young entrepreneurs who aspire to be successful. People who want to retire sooner and with more money. Especially entrepeneurs, leaders, business owners and frustrated professionals.

I Relax By: Walking outside. Traveling the world with my family. Full body massages on the beach.

I Keep In Shape By: Being an active dad. I do 250 push-ups and 250 sit-ups each day in addition to walking 5 miles. I am constantly pushing the bar higher to stretch my limits and add fuel to the fire.

Favorite Part of My Business: Inspiring people to set goals, maintain motivation and persist until they succeed.

Least Favorite Part of My Business: Working with people who say they are going to do something and then do nothing. People who make excuses. Pessimists.

Favorite Quote:
"You never work for somebody else. Someone else might sign your check, but you're the one who fills in the amount." - Zig Ziglar

Person Who Most Influenced My Life: My dad. He had a passion for helping others. He was devoted and always followed-through on his word. The original "serial entrepreneur." He taught me that passive income will set you free. If you want more in life, work SMARTER, not harder! Don't let small-minded people stand in your way. Surround yourself with BIG thinkers who serve you by encouraging you to set goals and who hold you accountable for achieving the goals you set. And please, pay it forward!

Secrets of Business Growth: Keep it simple so people can duplicate what you do. If a 7 year old can't do it, you shouldn't either. Make sure everyone on your team is using and teaching the same unified duplicatable training system. There is strength in unity. Recognize people publicly for what they do and remember, giving starts the receiving process!

How Others Describe Me: Wise, Inspirational, Focused, Supportive, Passionate. If you aren't passionate about what you do then find something you are passionate about. Don't worry about the money, if you focus on doing what you love the money will follow.

Who I Admire: I admire people who take responsibility for their life. People who design their life and work towards their own goals instead of surrendering to someone else's plan. I have walked in your shoes. I didn't like them so I did something about it. If you are looking for help I am here to help. You can live the life you dream about, you just need to get started right this time.

Most Effective Prospecting Tools Recommended: iPhone, Contact Buddy and Send Out Cards. Business is about relationships. It is through these relationships that people grow to know, like and trust us. Once you earn a person's trust they are comfortable doing business with you and if you treat them right, they will reward you with repeat business and referrals! Giving starts the receiving process. What do you give people to earn their trust? Do you give them value? What reasons do you give them to do business with you instead of your competition? I recommend interacting with your current and future clients on FaceBook, Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube.
