Johnny Wimbrey knows better than anyone that, if you’re looking for excuses not to succeed, they abound. But instead of looking for excuses, Johnny looked for success, and with the help of some key people and events he overcame his circumstances to become a millionaire, CEO, and motivational speaker and writer.

Today, Johnny shares the secrets of his success, and he doesn’t sugarcoat. The personal story he tells is one of hardship, mistakes, persistence, and coming out on the other side. After sharing his story, Johnny takes me through the lessons life has taught him, reflecting on the importance of mindset, the idea that your past doesn’t have to determine your future, the need to examine your expectations, and the ability to utilize your fears to motivate you. He tops it off with a unique and effective musical analogy.

“The common denominator of all success in an introduction.” -Johnny Wimbrey

“I am more afraid of being homeless again than I am of sticking my hand out and saying ‘Hello Don, my name is Johnny.’” -Johnny Wimbrey

“What you do is not as important as who you are and why you do it.” -Johnny Wimbrey

“I don’t believe there’s an individual that can be good at something and not good at something else.” -Johnny Wimbrey
