I spent all of my career working on straight commission either as a salesperson, manager or owner working off a percentage of the bottom line. This was tough in the beginning but was the best thing that could have happened for me because I had to learn relationship selling and marketing. When my children were small and I didn’t have a regular paycheck, I had to learn quickly to develop my skills or my kids would suffer. I read everything I could get my hands on! I devoured “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill and applied the principles immediately. This book and others changed my life in a big way. To begin making a strong six figure income in the early 1980’s was pretty darn good for a guy with no college degree. I began then teaching others how to do the same and have never looked back.
For the last 7 years I have been full time in the Network Marketing industry and have been a top 10 income earner in both the companies I have been involved with. This was the toughest thing I have ever done in the beginning and extremely rewarding once I understood it and how to teach others to do the same. It is like anything else in that if you want to be successful in something then find a mentor who is and do what he does. I was very fortunate in that I found that mentor in Brad Hager. My passion is to teach others to understand the power of relationship marketing principles no matter what business they are in. I like to say that I teach people to become “Professionals at Living”. This is a journey that I will always be on. I joke with my friends that once you get on this path you will never get off! You can get off the path but I guarantee you, you won’t want to, because the rewards and the lifestyle of becoming a Professional at Living are awesome! The friends you can have and who you become in the process are things that can NEVER be taken from you!
