  • -Sales Mastery

    In the beginning of the 2008 recession, I was just starting in real estate and lost everything. I was 6 figures in debt, and in order to just make my mortgage payment I ended up selling alarms for the company that I used to own.

    That became the turning point into the most profitable period of my life as I learned to adapt and capitalize on opportunity in the middle of the 2 worst years of the recession. I went from 6 figures in debt to making 7 figures income.

    I now share the valuable lessons I learned in the process to help people break through limiting beliefs to find purpose and accelerate growth in their personal and professional lives.

    I’ve been speaking professionally for 10+ years now.

    As an experienced speaker, my team and I want to provide two key things for your next event…

    1. A great experience on stage —I’ve presented to audiences both large and small in a variety of different settings and contexts. As a presenter, I will use stories, that will take the audience on an experience of emotions. They’ll laugh, some will cry and they will leave deeply inspired. They will leave with practical, applicable next steps to take with them beyond that session.

    2. A great experience off stage —We know as a conference planner, there are a lot of details you have to manage and juggle. The speaker should be the last of your concerns. We’ve worked with lots of event planners and continually strive to make that process enjoyable.
