Acknowledgments
No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.
—John Donne
Many folks have been instrumental in my life and played a role in the completion of this book.
I want to first thank God. My motto has always been AMDG, which stands for “To the greater glory of God.”
To my parents, Alex and Cindy, for believing in me, showing me the right path in life, and giving the two greatest gifts a parent can give: unconditional love and a strong work ethic.
To my brothers, Christopher and Jonathan, for their continued support and camaraderie.
To all of my audience members and clients, your outcomes, success, and feedback are why I do what I do. Thank you for putting your trust in me and being a partner in business.
To my friends in the National Speakers Association who have been instrumental in helping me over the years. Speaking can be a lonely business, and you make it enjoyable.
To the men and women in the military who allow us to enjoy a life of freedom.
To my editors, Cynthia and Adrianna, you made this book a reality.
