I sustained mild lead poisoning as a child, resulting in neurological damage.  The result was a life of learning disabilities, always struggling to keep up.

But I completed two degrees from competitive universities, then advised Wall Street executives in Asia for 15 years.  I later earned a PhD and worked as a university professor for six years.  I have started three profitable companies in between.

How did I do it?  I have two secrets:

First, I am always learning.  I am a constant self-directed learner.  Secondly, I have taught myself to how to make concepts simpler so I could understand them.  (My third secret is to use adrenalin for everything, but I don’t recommend it because —long term — it kills your adrenal system, which has very serious consequences).

Now I can use these two secrets to help you.  By necessity, I developed expertise in making difficult concepts easy for others to understand and I share what I have learned in an easy format.  I have coached numerous individuals to become much more successful, including seven people who become multimillionaires through my assistance.

I am passionate about personal development.  I have taught myself to speak native-level Japanese, how to make furniture, how to be very creative, how to make my own bread.  I have started three profitable businesses (and made many unsuccessful attempts).  I have lived half of my adult life outside the U.S.  Now I want to share with you the joy of lifelong self-learning, using principles I have taught on three continents.

I think I have experienced an amazing, adventurous life.  My career began in product development, then shifted to 17 years as a human capital consultant, then to six years as a professor, with a couple of startups in between.  Now I am a writer and a coach.  But I have hit some chuckholes along that road, which has slowed me down.  My blog contains the advice I would give my past self to avoid those chuckholes.  If you would like to join the journey, please subscribe.
