'Leaving a successful business was a tough call. Then I let my
wife watch me invest several family incomes in my own development
to learn from some of the worlds leading experts in human
behaviour, culture, coaching, spiral dynamics, NLP and professional
speaking. She is very appreciated. However, it is only through
expanding your own thinking that you can add more value to
others'
