About Charles Gaudet:“I’ve been an entrepreneur since the age of four, created my first multimillion dollar business at the age of 24. Entrepreneurship has more or less been in my blood all my life. Today I own a company where I help small business owners create predictable and ever increasing profits inside their business.A lot of entrepreneurs are told that the secret to success is to work hard and I took that very literally where I would sit my alarm for 3:30am and I would work every waking hour of every day, seven days a week. It got to a point where the stress was causing severe chest pain and I found myself in the emergency room. The doctor told me that the issue was stress and it was literally trying to kill me which at that point I realized something had to change. I traveled all over the world studying and trying to figure out what were some of the common denominators where some succeed and others failed. Collectively we connected the dots and made a book from that information.” – Charles GaudetFor a detailed summary of The Predictable Profits Playbook according to Charles Gaudet CLICK HERERelated Books:Profit Hacking by Steven DaarDo It!

Immediately they fired back the word vision. From there I asked all these leaders what their vision was and nobody could raise their hand and tell me because they didn’t have one. I didn’t understand how it could be that something we all know is important to have as a leader but yet we don’t have one.
