KEY TAKEAWAYS

• For 20 years I was in the automotive industry and won many awards as in sales and eventually ran a Chevrolet dealership for many years. In 2017 my wife developed breast cancer and that flipped everything around, it didn’t matter about success or money in the bank, all that was out the window and we really had to rely on God. My wife ended up having a double mastectomy and got really depressed, so I had to make a decision of getting someone in to look after her or man up, honour my vows and take care of her. Little did I know that it’s one of the best things to happen to our lives and our marriage because we really self-reflected for the first time in our lives.
• God told me to stop working at the Chevrolet dealership and go out into the world and be a motivational speaker. It dropped into my sprit so heavy and most people I knew thought I was crazy to not return to my cushy $250,000 job. There was a belief inside of me and I’ve never looked back, it’s been an amazing ride that I get to share with so many people.
• There’s so much wisdom in all of us as human beings, but we don’t even tap into a portion of it. When I started moving forward I discovered that I knew more than I realised. It breaks my heart when people say “I can’t afford it” or they come up with excuses and alibis, because my journey literally began with my wife being depressed, not working for 2-3 months, having no business plan I just said “I’m gonna do it” and I went forward. Many people just stay there and don’t believe in themselves and crawl back to what they’re familiar with. I see so many people with the value that God’s given them and they waste it because they don’t believe it themselves. 
• I didn’t want to write a book, but one morning in prayer the title came to me, because I started being really intentional about the book, and I thought “Oh no” because people think you’re greedy if you talk about money and it’s not an easy subject to talk about. But the more I studied and got the manuscript together – the truth is I had to scrap the first manuscript because I sent it to my editor and she never got the file. I felt like that was God saying “that’s not the way the book goes”, so I threw it away and got more intentional about it. But it’s so God-inspired that I’ve gone back and read parts of it and I don’t recognise where it came from.

BEST MOMENTS
‘God tore us down to build us back up because we needed a lot of work. That’s just the reality.’
‘I didn’t want to be a business coach, but I know a lot about business.’
‘The ideas will come to you little by little… one you get started the ideas come, the vision comes.’
‘Money is more misunderstood than anything else in the world. Everybody wants it, but they have the wrong relationship with it. This is why so many businesses failed during covid.’
