I am a firm believer that anyone who has ever achieved anything of great consequence has not done it alone—they are backed by an incredible team.
I have been very fortunate in my life to have attracted a phenomenal cadre of mentors. My special thanks to my early mentors, Raymond Stanford, Val Van De Wall, Dr. Harry Roder and Bill Gove who taught me as much about myself as they did about business. And to my mentors, Earl Nightingale and Lloyd Conant, many thanks for the wonderful education I received about our industry in the five years I spent with the Nightingale-Conant Corporation.
