John shares his experiences and all of the most crucial lessons he learned that were imperative for his success along the way. And guess what? Although he earned a degree in applied mathematics with a minor in economics from a prestigious university, none of his life lessons were learned through traditional schooling. Don't quit your day job-yet-until you read this book. This book will- entertain you, inspire you, and ultimately shift your perspective to what is possible in this world, show you where to place your focus to get the results you are looking for, show you the ups, downs, sacrifices, and process of what it takes to achieve your dreams, and ultimately, you will come to know that the possibilities are endless once you put yourself out there.
