Slay Your Dragons

AND HAVE A SUCCESSFUL LIFE

ARE YOU A DRAGON SLAYER?

MY STORY

In which the high school valedictorian nearly flunks out of college, is

involuntarily enlisted in the military, survives college, gets an MBA,

starts a software company, sells it on his 28th birthday, moves to

Steamboat, thinks he knows everything, gets divorced, loses all of his

money, gains a new mindset, finds true love, leaves the work-a-day world

behind, starts over, finds true love, creates a lasting plan for success….

…and lives happily ever after.

BEFORE – MERE MORTAL

I was Working 50+ hours a week making $60-75K a year

I weighed 230 lbs.

I took anxiety and depression medicine daily

I had high blood pressure, asthma and severe stress

I was a righteous a-hole who thought he knew it all and

alienated my friends

AFTER – DRAGON SLAYER

I am “working” 30-40 hours a week making A LOT MORE than $60K per

year

I weigh 190 pounds

I take NO MEDICINE on a daily basis and I am stress and anxiety free

I have signed up to compete in the Leadville 100 MTB Race in 2013.

I am the choir director at my church and the chairman of a very

successful charity event

My family has adopted a 50 year old man with Down’s Syndrome who is

“one of the family”

I DO NOT work on most Saturdays or Sundays
