Becoming a lifetime learner.

One of the most valuable lessons I learned from Zig Ziglar was to be a lifetime learner.

That might surprise anyone who knew me in high school. School was tough for me. It took plenty of summer school to get through and graduate.

But once I got out, I began to understand how important education really was, especially as I found things I wanted to learn.

My career began with clown school. Yes, clown school! I was learning how to make people laugh, connect with an audience, and create an experience.

From there, I joined Toastmasters to develop my speaking skills. Then came the National Speakers Association, where I continued learning about speaking and building a business.

I went on to spend years learning from Bob Proctor and Zig Ziglar, studying personal growth and business development. Those lessons helped shape both my career and the way I approach life.

Somewhere along the way, the kid who struggled to get through school became a man who wanted to keep learning.

After 37 years in this business, I’m still a student. There’s always something to improve, someone to learn from, and another way to grow.

Your experience in school doesn’t have to define your relationship with learning for the rest of your life.
