After being frustrated with working close to 100 hours per week (at 3 different jobs) Justin went to Google one late night in 2008 (after having a bad day at work), and started searching for ways to make money online.

His first 3 months as an online entrepreneur were not all that promising. He was bombarded with distractions, and bought nearly every “make money online” course he could afford. He blew through his entire life savings (around $30,000) and had NOTHING to show for it. That’s when he realized that something had to change. His back was against the wall, and it was time to get serious.

He hired a mentor, they put together a plan, and he got to work.

91 days later, Justin had sold over $100,000 worth of stuff on the internet, and quit all 3 of his corporate jobs. He then started creating his own products, and since then he has grown his business to nearly $2 Million dollars in sales.

He has helped thousands of aspiring entrepreneurs from all over the world get better results in their online businesses, with a few clients making over $100,000 by implementing what they learned from him.

I care about the leader. Not just any leader, but the one who is driven to make a mark and leave a legacy that lasts a lifetime. If you're reading this page, that means you!

I hold a unique package of training and experience over the past 35 years that you need if you're looking for strong support. I'm trained as an Executive Coach. I've served in ministry leadership as youth and music pastor. I've served in the corporate environment as Chief Operations Officer and Chief Executive Officer. I serve on several boards. I am a fanatic about organization and process. I can't stand inefficiency or ineffectiveness.

I'm also a grateful husband and privileged father of two grown adults. I love a good cup of coffee, time to read, and I appreciate a well-taken photo.

If you're a dynamic, driven leader with high energy and wild creativity who can't sit still and you are called to get a message out, I want to be your support so that you reach further and longer without burning out in the process. Think of me as your second chair.

His television appearances include: The 700 Club, PTL Canada, Heritage USA, CTN, Dove Broadcasting and local NBC, CBS and Fox affiliates. He’s been a guest writer for numerous national publications like Success Magazine, Business Reform, Christian Business Magazine and others.

As a corporate sales trainer, Michael is known for teaching Biblical models for the sales process that produce profound results. This is not about going to the world, finding some motivational guru that wants to “release the giant within” and putting a Bible verse on it and calling it wisdom.

Michael’s consulting practice focuses on revenue growth by dramatically improving marketing efforts, defining and greatly improving the sales process and improving personal productivity. Over the years, he’s served Fortune 100 companies, one-man startups and plenty in between.

His highly acclaimed Rainforest Strategy book about the planet’s most successful business model came about as a result of numerous trips to the rainforests of the upper Amazon and Central America where he studied the rainforest as a business model. The lessons he pulled from the rainforest and his access to hundreds of scientific white papers by Smithsonian scientists have proven highly effective for business owners.

About Marisa Shadrick:

I help women find their dormant courage by taking small steps of faith until they discover they were made for more.

“Lord, change me today, so I can become the person you intended tomorrow.”

 

Who me, a writer?

When I started to write, it was unnatural or uncomfortable. I think you have the wrong person, Lord.

I had to “find my brave,” so I went back to school, attended writers conferences, and began to tap on my keyboard–despite my sweaty palms. God took my seed of faith and helped me published articles in Charles Stanley’s In Touch MagazineChicken Soup for the SoulGospel Publishing House, local newspapers and online publications.

As a blogger, my weekly posts are contemplative and yet, sometimes humorous. I like to dig into relevant issues using Ephesians 1:17-20 as my prayer for readers.

Scott is the author of "It's not about you" Leadership for sales managers and the founder of Trinity Lincoln Consulting. Trinity-Lincoln Consulting was founded by Scott Crandall, and fulfills a long-term dream: to help others focus on key business issues and problems in a low-key, solution-oriented way.  And get the job done without drama, rhetoric and unnecessary fanfare.

Scott graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1971.  After five years (and 20 days, 3 hours and 11 minutes!) in military intelligence, he resigned his captain’s commission and joined a leading international tire manufacturer, starting his business life as a field sales rep in 1976. 

In succession, over 34 years (and a handful of moves), he was a regional sales manager, a director of sales, a sales operations manager, a training manager, and an internal consultant. 

Scott specialized over that time in building organizations, identifying critical problems (and fixing them!), and in designing, developing, and delivering training — and finding a way to make sure training “took”, and truly resulted in performance change.

Trinity’s approach is to utilize the best assets for the job: to that end we utilize a network of professionals with whom we partner to deliver the focused expertise necessary to solve the problem.
