After being in the military for 23 years (working for someone else), and working for a Fortune 500 company for 25 years (working for someone else), I decided that it was time for me to now - work for myself, and spread my message of hope; that it is never too late to created a larger vision for your life, and to Be Amazing.

There are many accomplishments that I am proud of, such as honorable serving in the armed forces for 23 years; however, if I had to boil it down to one - I would say that it was graduating from college with honors; Magna Cum Laude.

What is one thing you wish you knew when you were younger?
 Lol - I really don't want to go there.  If the truth be known, I'm really not one that likes to play the "what if I knew" game with myself or tell myself that I should have done this or that back when...  I believe that God laid out my life as it was and is for a reason; so I choose to keep looking forward to what he has in store for me.

(2)  Napoleon Hill (1883 - 1970) - I would like to get into his mind digest his interviews with the most successful and richest men of his time - which resulted in his study course The Laws of Success and the book Think and Grow Rich.

Do you have any advice you would like to leave with the reader?
