FWM: You have turned small businesses into multi-level Fortune 500 businesses. Take us back and what led you to become one of the most influential marketers of our time.
I started my career working in a corporate setting and I worked for one of the largest retina practices in the DMV area and not to mention my boss who happens to be a retina specialist by the name of Bert M. Glaser turned out to be a mentor for me who was a prominent retina surgeon. Later on, I developed a module that allowed me to facilitate collaboration in the Virginia region. Shortly after that I was the manager for T. Mark Johnson who was one of the physicians at the practice. We grew the Virginia market like there was no body business.
After building several relationships in the area I said to myself wow this is healthy for best practice. In life we are often running after the dollar, and we are not taking the time to get to know someone and my rule of thumb is’’ all money is not good money’’ Who are we doing business with and why are we doing business with this person? Your business is your brand and in order for you to grow your business you have to be willing to lose in order to gain. Formidable readers please allow that powerful profound statement to sink for a moment
I know that my vision is my baby, and it has to develop its own identity. Think of your vision like a seed. If you plant it right and use all the necessary steps eventually it will flourish.
