John Spence was born in Miami, Florida, where his Dad was a famous attorney, who made it to the covers of reputable magazines and had one wing of the law school at the University of Miami named after him. John went to a top grade school, got great grades, and was accepted to many different colleges. But for some reason, he messed up in college and got kicked out of the university of his choice, the University of Miami, where his father was one of the top alumni and was one of the board of directors of the university at that time. Turning in his records to another university, he was literally laughed at and turned down. But instead of throwing his future away, he chose to gather his composure and resolved to fix himself from that point forward.

Highlights:

• His double-edged realization: He had to rebuild himself all by himself, which also meant he had to get every single help from all different sources possible -- people, books, videos, and the likes.
•  His own definition of success: When your core values and self-concept are in harmony with your daily actions and behaviors.
•  How his self-drawn discipline  turned his life around, transformed him from a college failure to graduating #3 in the US, and becoming a CEO at 26 real quick.
•  How one's own written core values, the definition of success, purpose, and picture of ideal life help them live a life of clarity and confidence.
• How this whole process is an excellent idea of self-care that enables one to realize the value of helping and giving back to others.

Although most people define or associate success with money, fame, power, and status, John's personal experiences and up-close encounters with some of the wealthiest people in the world made him realize considerably early in life that these things do not necessarily equate to success. Apparently, success is relative to whatever is part of one's personal set of core values. But an even greater predicament is that so many people, even executives, have not come up with their own definition of success let alone core values. It is for these certain causes that he has been in this business for t in three decades now,  and has come at par with great authors, keynote speakers, corporate educators, and business leaders and influencers in America and around the world.
