It was when just a little well known, Zig Ziglar, who happened to be a friend and former client, gave him some incredible adivce.  He first told him about the speaking and coaching industry, and told him Tim would be great at it.  However, he also told him that Tim being true to himself was what was going to propel his career.  

Tim took that advice and hasn't looked back since, making a career out of his love of motorcycles and rock and roll!
