You may or may not agree with what my greatest accomplishment is, and it may also depend on how you look at my life.
Is my greatest accomplishment that I earned my way into becoming the first and only CEO of Guerrilla Marketing and getting to learn from the legendary Jay Conrad Levinson? Is it that I bought and took over the famous Michael Levine’s LCO PR company that had represented 58 Academy Award winners, 43 Grammy winners, and 34 NY Times Best Sellers? Is it that I now have my own cable TV show on Time Warner Cable and Verizon FiOS channel 45 in California?
Depending on what lens you are looking through, some might say that my successful wife and 8 children are my greatest accomplishment.
BUT enough about me, I promise this is really about you!!
