Your Potential Customers Don’t Care AbouT YOu…
Do You Know Why?
Story Makes the Difference
Your story starts with your customer’s story.
Who are they? What is their pit of despair? What do they want? What is the outcome they are looking for?
If you don’t understand your customer, they won’t trust you.
Once you understand your customer, then you become important to them.
Then, AND ONLY THEN, will they be willing to listen to what you have to say.
The trust you have built will help them believe that what you offer will help them.
How do you create a story that can make all this happen?
It’s your Core Story.
- It defines your Who, What & Why
- Who you help.
- What you do for them.
- Why you help them.
- Why it matters to them.
It creates extreme clarity for everything you do.

& Serial Entrepreneur
I have worked with Rod McKenzie, Jr. on a myriad of business projects over the past 21 years. Mr. McKenzie has consistently displayed a rare set of creative, organizational, and operational skills. He’s a self-starter who needs little to no direction and has demonstrated that he’s willing to do whatever it takes to deliver for the team or a project. His vast experience and creative spirit make him an incredible contribution to any team, not to mention he’s one of the most humble and nicest guys you are ever going to have the pleasure to work with in business.

They say if you walk into a room and you’re the most successful person, you’re in the wrong place. The problem with Rod is he’s so smart he’s always been the giant in the room. So instead of continuously looking for a different room, he’s spent his time mentoring, teaching, and elevating those around him. I’ve been blessed to call him a friend and mentor. Co-Founder of Activity Living. Founder of Blue International. Founder of Green House Properties. Now retired and traveling the world with my wife and four children.

He has the ability to help you see out-of-the-box solutions to your problems and concerns.

- Gives you everything you need to develop your brand, market your business, use social media, and increase sales.

You want your life to have meaning, direction, and joy. But, above all, you want your life to have a purpose, but do you know how to find it? Did you know that your life will never be the same when you find your purpose and define it in a short statement?
