Passion, persistence and an unwavering determination to succeed are all essential ingredients of success. All of these incredible attributes of success are useless if you don't have the energy to implement them

I am so pleased that John is putting the energy into helping others succeed in life. Even though John has encountered many road blocks climbing his own ladder of success he never let his enthusiasm die. John's passion and enthusiasm for life is infectious and that comes through in the pages to follow.

I know first hand that energy and passion are necessary for success in life. Whether it be trying to get "Chicken Soup for the Soul" published, building a speaking career, growing a business or going around the world encouraging others to be the best they can be, it takes strength, energy and passion to not only peruse but to realize your dreams.

I am glad to see that John is encouraging you to challenge your body, mind and spirit so you can climb your own personal ladder of success, what ever it may be. Success requires not only starting strong but finishing strong. I know he is the right man for the job and I am proud to see one of my student's help you pursue your dreams.
Good luck on your own personal journey.

Scott Fairbrother MD

"I have known John since he was a high school athlete. I followed John's path with a keen interest. John has always attacked his goals and ambitions; often taking chances that would have made the average man sick. I always said tongue in cheek, that he would either be an incredible success or be homeless. I am glad John is not homeless, and that he is willing to share the many lessons he has learned on his way to success. It is an incredible journey of blood sweat and tears and good old fashion muscle that will inspire all who read his story."
