NT is always teaching honesty

I learned that I was not selling vinyl siding. I was selling value.

Let me give you another example from my life. I took this knowledge – the full support of my parents' upbringing and my hard work – and ran with it. I remember when I was just 14 years old, working for a vinyl siding contractor. I learned every aspect of installing vinyl siding, and by the time I was 17 I had my own vinyl siding business as a subcontractor. Even better, I never had a service call on any of my work, which was unheard of in vinyl siding. Before they hired me, every job would need a service call.

I got so good that the biggest home improvement firm in the US wanted to know the ins and outs of how I installed vinyl siding. I not only showed them and the other subcontracting crews how to install it, but they asked me to travel with them to meet with a room full of vinyl siding production managers across the country to show them what I had learned. They liked the way I explained the installation so much that when I asked if I could be a salesman for them, they hired me on the spot.

I remember arriving on my first day as a salesman. Everyone in the sales department kept saying, "A siding installer will never be able to sell vinyl siding." I hit the books on sales hard. The first month I went out 16 times and never sold a single job. I kept hearing the other salespeople say, "This is no surprise, there has never been an installer who could sell our product." I couldn't give up, because I felt every appointment was a learning experience, and I was putting the puzzle together piece by piece. After speaking with every top salesperson in the organization, I learned that I was not selling vinyl siding, I was selling value. The next month I went out 18 times and sold all 18 appointments, a new company record at the time (I ended up beating that record later on). I then went on to be the #1 salesperson of the year, and all the perks that went with it.

Fortunately for me, my professional sports career was taking off, so it was time to move on. I did the same thing with the company I now own. I learned the profession, broke it down, made it better, found my path to success, and followed it. My parents taught me to always have a road map. In other words, write down where you want to be, in total detail. The way to do this is to write down your goal at its greatest success, where you want it to be, and then write down where you are now. Then you just work backwards from where you would like to be to where you are presently.

Today I have three homes, two vacation homes and one primary residence. I've been called a work-o-holic. I also own a good number of cars, motorcycles, and boats. Freshwater bass fishing is the love of my life, and since getting into NT I recently entered a few local fishing tournaments. I did so much homework on those lakes that I ended up winning first place.

Since childhood, for as long as I can remember, I always wanted to get into the stock market, but for some reason it never happened. Every time I got close to learning it I couldn't, for one reason or another; I moved, or got too busy, or, frankly, I was a bit intimidated by it. Since NT, I am now learning the stock market, and I am so excited I don't want to stop. A financial adviser told me the knowledge I've gained in the last two months is unheard of. He said he's been doing this for 28 years and cannot comprehend how I could accumulate this kind of knowledge in such a short time. I am so happy, the stock market is where I was meant to be, and thanks to NT I know that now. I wake up with excitement and energy.

Let me give you one more example of the greatness of NT. NT is helping me see to the essence of things, and it's incredible. If you have never experienced it, don't knock it. I went into a negotiation the other day and could read people so much better. I was so impressed with what I learned through NT that I still can't stop thinking about it. I read the other person so well that I saved my client 4 million dollars. From my client and me, thank you NT for showing me the way to see what really is, to see the true essence of things.

NT's view on individual rights is how I was brought up. If you haven't researched NT's point of view on individual rights, let me tell you, it's right on the money: every individual should be treated the same as any other individual. If we all do this, you will see white rights, black rights, women's rights, Hispanic rights, and so on, all vanish from the face of the earth. To have that happen would make anybody's God happy.

NT is always teaching honesty. What better way to live life than through honesty. NT shows you how to put all the goodness in life together, from honesty, to wealth, to creation, to happiness and good health. My thought is how any civilized human being could not want all that goodness for themselves, their loved ones, and everyone around them. NT means no harm to anyone; in fact, it's just the opposite. Human life, mine, yours, and every human in the universe, even people NT has never met, is sacred. Love for family and friends is precious. I will end with: "Life with NT is good."
