The Amazing Leadership Secrets Of A Desperate Entrepreneur

Let me tell you a story… In college I was valedictorian working to build a thriving business online. I needed to make extra money after college so I wouldn’t have to live in my mom’s trailer.

I desperately wanted to be able to make money and I could see myself buying a beautiful home in Michigan.

The problem is I was working at Hewlett-Packard (HP) and getting smashed by budget cuts. That meant I wasn’t able to make a ton of money, let alone move off of my mom’s couch.

On top of that, I felt horrible because I felt like my life was out of control. The situation made me feel even worse because my work shift was overnight on the weekends. I felt like I was being punished by my boss.

The issue was that my team was getting laid off as I watched the CEO get a $2 million dollar raise. Which meant I needed to take a new action or be next on the chopping block, which made me feel frustrated because (up until that point) I only knew how to make money with a job.

Then, a miracle changed the course of my life…

That’s when I learned about an Entrepreneur named Dan Gilbert (Found of Quicken Loans) and learned all about exceptional leadership!

It was now obvious to me how to be more aware of my accomplishments, because I saw I needed to set a goal to achieve one meaningful task every day.

I also learned that I don’t always need to make the right decision, you need to embrace failure instead.

As a result I went all-in building my online business and asked myself every day, “What mistakes did I make today and how can I learn from them?”

After that, I began acknowledging my mistakes.

Suddenly, I was failing (and succeeding) more than anyone else.

That’s when It hit me that the secret to build a thriving business online was to ask, “What did I achieve?” every night before bed.

My plan was to start leading other people to fail more often.

So I began encouraging people to admit their mistakes and learn from them. But we didn’t stop there.

We then asked ourselves every day, “Did I help someone else succeed today?”.

Then, we took time every day to talk with employees about their performance and growth.

But there was one more challenge…

I had no way of helping entrepreneurs with their leadership 24 hours a day, 7 days a week…

We ended up getting so frustrated that we decided to put our best leadership lessons into a master course that gets explosive results.

We call it “The Choose to Lead System”.

We thought if we could create something that would make it possible to avoid the leadership mistakes that cost entrepreneurs time and money, we’d be SO excited.

The Choose to Lead System is the result of 8 years of costly failures

We can now put your leadership skills on the fast track in less than 5 minutes.

As a result of all this we were able to achieve the following:

A concentrated leadership formula that cuts out the fluff and gets you business results.

With The Choose to Lead System, I’m not only able to give entrepreneurs the powerful leadership lessons I never got, I’ve also been able to stop feeling frustrated by a poor performing business, because we can now create competitive advantages with our leadership culture.

And in the end, all of this means I’m now able to build a legacy for my family and inspire future leaders.
