As a kid growing up, I probably would have been picked as the least likely to become an entrepreneur, never had a lemonade stall, never had a paper run.  What I did have, even at a young age, was a highly logical, analytical mind — and an instinctive sense that the traditional “40-year plan” we were being sold at school simply didn’t add up.

So when I left school, with the support of my parents, I started my first business at just 18 years old. I worked relentlessly, and quickly discovered a hard truth: hard work alone doesn’t create success. I knew to be successful, I had to be good at sales.  And at that stage, I was most certainly NOT!

So I made a deliberate decision to master it. I threw myself into the most confronting training ground possible: door-to-door sales. Over the years I sold everything from vacuum cleaners and security systems to automotive products, educational programs, and insurance. If it could be sold door to door, chances are I sold it.

In time, I became one of the top performers in the industry — learning not just how to sell, but how people actually think, how they make decisions. (At one point, I even managed to sell a man a full set of encyclopedias… despite never having worked for an encyclopedia company!)

After years of working inside other businesses and refining what worked — and what didn’t, I was ready to build something of my own. I founded a boutique sales and marketing firm, which over the following years grew into one of the top-performing companies in its category.
From there, my work evolved into helping other businesses transform their sales systems — acting as a change agent, refining processes, training teams, and improving outcomes. Eventually I took on what was, at the time, my most ambitious challenge: helping scale a start-up from scratch.

What began as a two-person operation working out of a spare room grew into a thriving business within three years, during which I personally generated over $1 million per year in sales revenue.

That success led me into the corporate world, where I was eventually head-hunted by several multinational companies. I later became a corporate trainer, teaching others to do what I had spent years learning in the field.

Alongside all of this, I immersed myself deeply in personal development. Not as a hobby — but as a discipline. The principles I learned became the foundation of my own success.

 

The last few years have been a period of intense growth for me — building communities, refining systems, and helping people create meaningful change in their lives.

This period shaped my approach to leadership, communication, and personal growth — and it gave me a front‑row seat to what truly motivates people to take action.

This has taught me how to build momentum from scratch, how to rebuild when life demands it, and how to stay aligned with my values no matter what chapter I’m in.

Today, I’m focused on projects that align with my values and allow me to bring that experience into everything I do as well as helping others build lives that are genuinely aligned with their own values.
