Scott Voelker is a serial entrepreneur. It all started worked for his father's construction company, which the two built to over a million dollars annually. From there, Scott made the leap into photography, because freedom and security meant so much to his family. Business was great, but it turned out to be another job. From there, he went into the online space where he built courses along with some selling on Ebay; he was beginning his journey into freedom. Scott learned about selling on Amazon, and saw it as the next best option to digital products; in the FBA model, Amazon handled most of the heavy lifting. His vision of freedom was booming much more real. His first year in business on Amazon is more than the average American would see in ten. From there, he started the Amazing Seller podcast, in an effort to reach out to higher level seller.

Josh Delaney is a serial entrepreneur to the furthest extent of the word. One of the hardest issues I had with Josh, is that there is no real category to put him in; he is a full-time hustler. Josh broke into the business world at 18 years old starting his career as a professional network marketer & sales professional. Shortly after with his newly founded time freedom and success he went on to experiment with his health and fitness in his spare time and went from geek to fitness freak in less than 60 days. In 2013, he co-founded the revolutionary non-profit, DoingMyPart.com, making it no longer an issue of money that people could not participate int charity; it created true people power. As if that was not enough, Josh later went on and purchased multiple Anytime Fitness franchises in a very short time, and with his sales & marketing skills he quickly transformed their culture. He currently is working on making sales something more easily workable for the every day person.   Josh' Favorite Quote:"Always happy, never satisfied."-Bruce Lee Josh's Favorite Books:The 4 Hour Body: An Uncommon Guide to Rapid Fat Loss, Incredible Sex and Becoming Superhuman The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership: Follow Them and People Will Follow You (10th Anniversary Edition) The Thank You Economy Links from Today's Show: closeprospects.comdoingmypart.comfacebook.com/iamjoshuadelaney

-Goal: What is your goal? Its your broad idea of why your doing something; it can't be money, your team needs to be able to get behind it. -Purpose: breaking down the goal in to smaller goals -My Story: I was life-long student, got a bachelors in Religion and a master's in history. I spent some time in between at Oxford University studying literature. I slipped into teaching without a real goal, which is a great career if it is your purpose , but I had no purpose. Then, my mom had a stroke and I learned my goal was enhancing health.   Quotes from Today's Show:“It is not that we have so little time but that we lose so much. ...
