  • Success Hurricane - How To Achieve Success At A Category 5 Level

    Amazon/Ben Brookhart

    After a career-ending baseball injury at 20 years old, I decided that college was no longer for me. I earned my Associate of Business Degree in the two years I played college baseball but quickly realized that wasn't going to get me a job with a big company so I decided to get a job in sales where no college degree was required. My first job was selling home security systems door-to-door for Westec Home Security in Charlotte, NC. I quickly became the top sales rep in the country for them and…

    After a career-ending baseball injury at 20 years old, I decided that college was no longer for me. I earned my Associate of Business Degree in the two years I played college baseball but quickly realized that wasn't going to get me a job with a big company so I decided to get a job in sales where no college degree was required. My first job was selling home security systems door-to-door for Westec Home Security in Charlotte, NC. I quickly became the top sales rep in the country for them and earned $98,000 my first six months in the business! So much for that college degree! I climbed the corporate ladder over the next couple of years and then the company was sold. There was no more opportunity for me to grow with the new company. It was time for me to start my own company at 23 years old. I had no experience starting a company and especially running one! What I did have was determination, work ethic, passion, and the ability to sell myself but also teach others how to sell.

    Over the next 18 years, not only did I learn how to successfully start and grow 4 different start-up companies but I also learned how to successfully sell them for a profit. All the companies that I have started have produced over $225,000,000 in gross sales. In my book, I share all my secrets of success and break them down into five categories for you: Successful Speed, Successful Growth, Successful Change, Successful Disruption, and Successful Destruction. If you want more success in your life and you want to learn from someone that started with nothing like me, then this is the book for you!
