EXCERPT

I’m sitting on stage next to Shark Tank’s Kevin Harrington at a business event in Tampa, Florida. Inventors are pitching us their products as we deliver feedback. The audience is full of entrepreneurs attentively taking notes, hoping for their turn to present to our panel. As Kevin hands me the microphone and I start to address the room, it’s hard to imagine that twenty-fi ve years ago, my family could barely make ends meet.

 

How did I arrive here? Perhaps my early years led me to this point. Mom was young, single, and supporting four maniacal children on a $30,000-a-year salary. Life wasn’t easy, but I always had this feeling that the future would be different.

 

We were always taken care of, with lots of love and food on the ta ble. But adversity was part of our everyday lives, as with many poor families. Where financial struggle exists, so does limitation. I felt the burden of being restricted by never having money, cars breaking down, needing new clothes, turning down social activities. But this limitation unveiled a profound realization for me: freedom was to become my ultimate driver in life.

 

My definition of freedom encompassed many areas—financial freedom, freedom with your time, freedom to live life the way you truly want. The desire for this freedom was so intrinsic, it is still a part of my very core. It is how I make decisions today, both personally and professionally.

 

As the oldest, I matured quickly and assumed a managerial identity early on. Leadership, though, came naturally. At the age of seventeen, I started reading books about building wealth and achieving your goals. Stephen Covey, Jim Rohn, Napoleon Hill, and other business writers molded me into the entrepreneur I was meant to become. Inside these pages were the answers to obtaining my freedom.

 

This leads me to my first “mind-stirring business secret . . .”

reveals how to view a business as a series of interconnected parts while
applying the same principles as world-leading institutions to help your
organization achieve success.

EXCERPT

Dreams are never pursued with the expectation of mediocre results.

It’s not to fail and learn a lesson that we get into business and

partnerships. It’s because we want to get closer to our dreams. When

it comes to our endeavors, we are not just in it for the experience; we

also want to succeed and reap the rewards. For all that we have built

and contributed, we hope to be recognized and appreciated.

This book will help you realize that there is more to your business

journey, even if you’re well on your way to being totally hands-off.

Your legacy extends far beyond what you have done. In addition, you

will have a framework that you can use to manifest “what could have

been”.

As a result, you will likely start asking better questions and your discussions

will become more engaging. As soon as you begin implementing

the low-hanging fruit presented here, you will end up in a better position than when you began, and you will see results as early

as the first few months.

There will be an upbeat tone when talking about your business, what

it stands for, and what it represents. Business progress will become

clearer not only to you, but to those you matter to in your sphere, the

stakeholders, and the decision-makers.

Instead of obsessing over maintaining control and micromanagement,

you are going to obsess over creating value, improving your customers’

buying journey, innovating, unlocking more cash to fund growth

projects, and developing other leaders.

You will be able to better understand how the market changes, how

your organization should adapt, and how your target customers

think. Your trust in growth will grow, and you will ensure those in

your sphere of influence are also on the same journey, because they

have chosen to be.
