About Steve

As a dedicated husband and father, champion athlete, author, skilled craftsman, accomplished musician, and acclaimed veteran entrepreneur, I understand the critical importance of finding and designing your business or vocation so that it serves and delivers the achievement of the all the things you are purposefully committed to accomplishing in ALL areas of life.

I regularly advise business owners on how to develop the key inner resources, the mental capacity for success and the vital personal success skills necessary to generate powerful advantage-making strategies and win big in both life and business.

I help wanna-be business owners, early stage entrepreneurs, as well as established business owners and corporate leadership overcome the myriad of complex challenges they face and help develop breakthrough strategies for finding, designing, organizing and building a business that grows rapidly to provide the satisfying and rewarding financial and lifestyle returns they expect and deserve.

My mission, my purpose, my unwavering commitment is to help you enjoy owning the wildly successful business success of your dreams.

I have been building successful businesses for nearly 4 decades. In that time, I’ve enjoyed a multitude of successful ventures of virtually all kinds. Everything from my first commercial venture at the age of 13, which sold a few years later for a handsome 6-figure sum, to successful venture capital backed software companies which I helped grow to generate hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue, produce dramatic returns for investors, employ thousands of people world-wide. I’ve built just as many wildly successful home-based, lifestyle businesses too.

Throughout the past 10 years I’ve personally coached hundreds of business owners, executives and corporate leadership teams to astonishing levels of personal and professional success. I am a highly sought-after business success leader, adviser, mentor and coach. I am recognized as one of the leading experts in developing peak individual and team performance.

I’ve learned a thing or two about success and how to achieve it. And now, I’ve made it my personal mission to share what I know about success in business (and in life) with you.

About “How To Begin A Business“

In early 2008 I decided to distill that 40 years of experience and learning into a collection of information products and programs for the expressed purpose of helping you find and build the wildly successful and rewarding business of your dreams.

The bottom line truth of the matter is that success in business is NOT what most people think it is. And I have the war-wounds and battle-scars to prove it. I decided it was time for someone to stand-up and silence all this ‘get-rich-quick-and-easy’, ‘make money without knowing or doing anything’ nonsense out there and tell you what it REALLY takes to succeed in business (and in life).

So, I invested the majority of 2008 creating two truly amazing programs which cut out all the B.S. and deliver exactly what you need.

ThePerfectBizFinder and ThePerfectBizBuilder programs, are one of a kind programs which reveal, step-by-step, exactly how to break-through the success saboteurs that block you and keep you from ever accomplishing the success you seek.

About “ThePerfectBizFinder Program“

ThePerfectBizFinder is a self-paced home study program that guides self-starters through a step by step process that results not only in a business that delivers what you want, but equips you with the advantage-making mental skills and disciplines necessary to achieve more than you’ve ever thought possible.

About “ThePerfectBizBuilder Program“

ThePerfectBizBuilder expands considerably on these powerful success building principles, methods and techniques and is delivered with the advantage of ongoing one-on-one support from a dedicated business building success expert. My team of master success specialist literally roll-up their sleeves and, through a program that is custom tailored specifically for you and your needs, escort you through the entire process each and every step of the way and guarantee that you build the wildly successful business of your dreams.

These programs teach you and empower you with the skills, techniques and disciplines necessary so you can find (or transform) and build the wildly successful business of your dreams; one that truly delivers the lifestyle and financial rewards they’ve always dreamed of, and enjoy the certainty of success.

I am very proud to report that, in this very short period of time, these two program have helped tens of thousands of people find and build astonishingly successful businesses.

By the end of 2010 it became clear to me that I needed to expand on and grow these programs to continue to meet the ever-increasing needs of millions of entrepreneurs and wanna-be entrepreneurs. I have developed literally dozens of empowering new programs and resources and introduce you to them here on the “How To Begin A Business” web site.

I am confident that you will continue to grow and benefit from the information available to you here at “How To Begin A Business“.

Testimonials:

"The guy simply over-delivers!" "There are very few people who have had the success and business experiences Steve has had. Forty years, in the trenches, building real businesses has equipped him with knowledge and skills that you'll need to be successful in business and in life. The guy simply over-delivers in order to help you get what you want. (And it's way too inexpensive - I've been telling the guy to raise his prices for over a year now!) Yanik Silver, Founder, Maverick Business Adventure

"It will serve me for the rest of my life" The Easiest Decision I've EVER Made! I cannot say enough about my coach and The Perfect Biz Builder Program! Having stuggled in business in the past made it difficult for me to move forward with another business venture. Within the first month of working with my coach, I gained clarity on my life purpose which allowed me to frame my business and family in the context of what is meaningful and fulfilling to me. I have also become aware of the paradigms that were ultimately serving as barriers to my success, such as my beliefs around money and being able to start a business while raising a family. While the shift occurred very quickly and easily for me, learning how to change my habits is an ongoing process; one that my coach understands well and holds me accountable to. As an entrepreneur, it's easy to get lost and frustrated. My coach provides me with constant encouragement and acts with the assertion that my perfect business, and ultimately my perfect life, is inevitable. It’s just a matter of time. For those times that I feel like throwing in the towel, I know my coach will be there – anytime of day – to provide me with whatever I need to reach my goals and fulfill my purpose. Kim Gordon - Bella Vista, Arkansas

"I recommend your program to anyone..." I just wanted to call and thank you for your program. Steve, you and your team have been a tremendous asset to me and my new company. I will use the techniques you taught me for the rest of my life...I am very grateful for your support... You've been there for me 24-7 and I recommend your program to anyone who wants to improve their life and/or business. Thank you ! All the best, Cynthia Jones, Georgia

"My coach goes far beyond being a coach" I have been a successful consultant in the oil and gas industry for over 25 years. I decided the time had come to take my skills to business owners, professionals and entrepreneurs. Over the years, I've learned that the quickest way to get up and running is to have a coach so I signed up for Steve's program. My coach took me through a process to help me remove my internal roadblocks and just this one thing has been of immense value to me, and is making all the difference in the world. Someone can tell you what to do and how to do it; however, if you have internal roadblocks, nothing will get done. That was just the beginning. My coach has helped me get clear on some of the business processes and systems that are the lifeblood of a business. She steered me away from at least three different scenarios that would have created a failure or seriously jeopardized my success. My coach goes far beyond being a coach - I consider her a trusted friend and a trusted advisor because I know she really cares about me as a person. It just doesn’t make sense to go it alone when there is someone who cares about, and can - and does - help you. Thanks, Coach! John B. Calgary, Alberta Canada

The Perfect Biz Builder program has been a blessing to me because it came at a time when I needed a shift in my business profile. Being an Entrepreneur of about 10 years, I actually have already had a number of profitable businesses. Still something was amiss – I just didn’t feel truly satisfied. After following Steve’s messages for about 8 months, I decided to explore this coaching program; AND I was loaded with skepticism. But this unique program has offered me real insights to the cause of my dissatisfaction in business and the clarity brought on by working with my Coach, has allowed me to put my life and thinking processes into alignment. Of particular interest is Steve’s formula for discovering one’s Life Purpose and it is one which I’ve not found replicated anywhere else. In a short 10 weeks of working with my Coach, my business portfolio is now being re-packaged and I am ready to move to a whole new level. And the best part is I am living the life of my dreams and doing what I love! Indeed 2 new businesses evolved from the program! Tunde M. Nigeria, West Africa

"This program empowered me..." "I have accessed the ability to put things in their proper perspective and make a specific plan with timeframes and expected outcomes destined to lead me to my "perfect life." This program empowered me and it has given me access to the "crystal ball" that helps me see my future the way I want it and to take specific action steps toward achieving all of my dreams." Sent with Love and Respect, Mike Stone, Massachusetts

Steve's vision for empowering people to find their passion working the perfect business for themselves inspired me to take the necessary action which has been burning inside of me for 40 years. I couldn't be happier! I have a successful law of attraction coaching business and having a blast! I also support single parents and the children of divorce to heal and live happier with a specific clear vision of all they desire for their future. I wrote a book "Single Parents Secrets to Effective Communication". I also work with 8 other law of attraction coaches on a community blog. All since completing Steve's program. Thank you Steve! Wendy MacKay, British Columbia

"This Program Has Been Incredibly Valuable" “Throughout these past few chapters, new ideas have been percolating in my mind.  I have been stuck for many years with the limiting belief that to be a successful artist you need to show in a gallery, get good reviews, and get big prices for your art.  Now I feel open to many more possibilities.  This program has been incredibly valuable.  I plan to go back through it because I know I haven't absorbed all that there is.  It has helped me clarify specific details like the medium I want to be working in to larger issues about my life purpose.  Thank you so much!” Lesley Heathcote, Hawaii

"This is the program that will change your life forever!" "I'm sure you'll come out the other side very surprised and elated at your new found perspective and knowledge about creating and growing your own 'custom fit' business. Thanks again for the opportunity to work and grow under your mentoring and guidance." Ed James, Corona, California

"Thank You!" "Thanks Steve!  I wish I'd had this YEARS ago!  Thanks Again." Michael, Austin Texas
