    Who has influenced you?

    In terms of influencing my business...


    Grandfather - Serial entrepreneur

    Father - Serial entrepreneur


    Both were filled with more stories, anecdotes, and business lessons that if adhered to...could make ANYBODY a successful entrepreneur. Becoming successful in business is actually not difficult. Most businesses revolve around very basic core concepts. The thing that separates the winners from losers is normally very soft skills like motivation, dedication, perseverence, belief in yourself, attitude.

    Think about all the entrepreneurs and CEOs that start and run businesses in all kinds of different sectors and industries. Clearly they weren't experts at one particular niche, they just understand the core concepts that drive a good business and understand all the aforementioned soft skills.


    Other guys I who I have been touched by, business wise....

      Excellent Question. Does the person have to be alive or deceased?

    Wow, that's a long list. If I had to pick just one, and the one who most influenced my business itself, I would have to go way back to Lee Iacocca. His autobiography still stands out in my mind as an amazing, motivational and instructive lesson in "business."

    I don't think a single individual has influenced me I think the way of life I'm able to live has been my biggest motivator.

    I would have to add W. Clement Stone to the list. He hasn't been mentioned yet, but his writings were influential to me at a very early age. Considering how life has progressed, I guess that makes him one of the most influential motivational writers in my life.

      Hmm..

      I seem to read a lot of books but i would say my biggest influences are

      1.Jim Rohn .... He is gone now but i found him to be so wise .Bless him . He made me think of the possiblities , made me feel like i could do anything

      2.Adam Horowitz... Dude , made me some money mehn... First IM product i actually bought and it worked !! Made my first $100 day applying Adam stuff back when google was a bit reasonable and you could do directly link .hehe . Later , got a job IM related all because of applying Adam stuff and growing my skill . Got to love the guy

      3. Frank Kern ... I like his presentation.Made things so simple but I never made any money though .Just saying . Anyways , he is a cool guy

      4. Kim Roach .... One of the few im people with integrity . Marry me Kim .lol

      5. Chris Farrell... Great guy .... I actually wish i bought his product after i bought Adam stuff and never bought any more im product.lol.he would have save me time in figuring stuff out .
      I love his style of presentation . He gives freely and willing and treats people people well

      Ok ... who else

      6.Tony Robbins !!! I am not sure i followed through on Tony's stuff but i remember buying some of his stuff several years ago

      7.Katie Freiling : Didn't actually buy any of her stuff but i Listened to one of youtube videos ( it called the The Secret to motivating yourself to take action ) and i actually started joogging again and managed to control my food in take

      8.George Clason- Author of the richest man in Babylon . This book got me fired up mehn... I started saving because of it and it was the book fired up my entrepreneurial journey when i was wondering what to do with my life back then .I love the book , so fun and interesting


      9.Keith Cameron Smith : Author of top 10 habits of millionaires . I read this book to pieces literally . had to patch it up .lol . I read it so many times , I know all the 10 habits . I started a personal development society(which was very scary for me back then but looking back i am grateful i grew some balls and i did it ) .after reading the book and started talking about ideas rather chatting about people all the time .Good stuff

      I think that is it .That is all that i rememeber

      Hope to influence someone positively and add myself to someone's else influence list one day

        Chris keeps getting a lot of recommendations here on WF. What sort of stuff does he cover and how advanced does it get?

    Annie Rose - She has taught me lessons in life philosophy. She has taught me about generosity. She has taught me the value of focus. She taught me turning your entire world upside down to chase a dream is noble and worthwhile.

    She taught me so many great lessons and continues to do so every day.

    It is amazing how a simple lady 20 years younger than me can have such wisdom.

    Makes me glad to call her my wife!!

    This might sound weird, but myself, I've learned a lot of things by myself, by giving myself time to think and reflect, though I won't be too arrogant as to say I was responsible for my success.
    There are many key people in my life, I've learned from friends as well as enemies, though one "known" person that did influence me was Neil Fiore
