Owner

John began his journey as an entrepreneur at 19 years young. A desire to be different from the masses and carve his own path defines his career. Living life on his own terms became a priority that influenced his decisions. He started in online direct sales, focusing on building strong customer relationships and helping people discover products that solved problems and fit their lifestyle. Realizing that he could only accomplish so much by himself, he shifted to empowering others and building teams.

Today, John and his wife dedicate their time to coaching people who desire change in their life but don't know where to begin. One of the most fulfilling and rewarding experiences in life is helping others achieve dreams and goals.

He believes that most people overestimate what they can do in 1 year and underestimate what they can do in 5-10 years. He also believes that most people need a community to support their vision and encourage them to keep going when times get tough. Coaching with the right community and a vision to go where you never thought possible has made all the difference in his life.
