There was a Kid I Know...

He was considered strong and had a very tough-willed personality. He was very involved with sports, music and the "whole" high school atmosphere. He was very popular; he got along with everyone. In 1979 he started working for his family business, part-time, after school and on weekends. He married his high school sweetheart and prom queen. She went to college, as did most of his friends, while he went to work full-time as a mechanic in the family business.

During this time he had developed anxiety that led to these "attacks". He would often stay up all night lying on the floor, next to the front door. This was in case this "thing" would attack again he would be able to rush himself to the hospital (he had already been there many times.) Pride and ego kept him from telling anyone.EVEN HIS WIFE; she was working as a flight attendant and was often away for three days at a time.

The family business started doing poorly, and he tried "his hand" at selling to help out. He was so "panicky" and nervous about his confidence that he couldn't get anywhere. In one instance, he even made an appointment to fly and meet with a company in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; because of his episodes with panic attacks, he didn't even get on the plane. He always made excuses so nobody realized what was happening. In 1988, the family business finally folded.

Today, Brian is the founder and CEO of numerous multi-million dollar corporations, all centered on communication, relationships and sales. He has hundreds of employees that work for him and, in 2001, started a new company called Motivated for Success, Inc. Here, Brian teaches everyone he comes in contact with exactly how he did it - holding back nothing.

Nothing Brian teaches can be found in text books or behind a desk in school! Everyone from a business professional to a teacher, athlete or a coach, doctor or banker, teenager or adult, parent or guardian. and YOU. truly want to motivate yourself to become the absolute best you can be. at whatever it is you truly want - there are no more excuses! He has a story to tell - you will never, again, settle for less!
