If you had the choice to secure the path of a billionaire at age 20, would you? Meet the 76-year-old man who faced that decision, and chose the alternative—the one that would factor in family, children, friends, and other mentors and teachers. 

The life of Alan Fox bounces from one extraordinary success to another in both his personal and professional endeavors. With every triumph—from starting his own commercial real estate company in 1968 that would amount to $1.5 billion, to becoming a New York Times bestselling author of People Tools, Alan takes us behind-the-scenes of his best pearls of wisdom. Simple, straightforward advice on happiness, success, and building positive connections, both in business and in life, that has amassed faithful readership and captured the attention of the Steve Harvey Show and the Meredith Vieira Show.  

Key takeaways: 

  • Recognize what will happen when you don’t tug on a problem from its roots. 
  • Learn why kindness and philanthropy go hand-in-hand and why such opportunities are the true mark of success.   
  • Resist the urge to eat everything at the buffet, an exercise in distinguishing between your own potentially reactive as well as proactive patterns.  
  • Embrace a diverse career portfolio based on what you enjoy, not what’s going to make the most money. 
  • Disconnect in an otherwise connected world and ground your decisions in emotions in order to bring about some amazing opportunities and outcomes.
