Kevin is a multi billion dollar businessman, number one New York Times best selling author, marketing genius, health expert, former insider and master of energy and spiritual enlighten. He's been called the greatest success coach in the world and the world's best mentor. And his books have sold an estimated 100 million copies worldwide.

Well, when I was very young, I understood my dad was a welder, my mom was a full time homemaker. We lived in a very blue collar community. 1200 square foot house for four of us. We had one bathroom in the house and this was normal. All the other houses on the same street were the same size. You had the plumber, the welder, the electrician, the postman. You know, these were normal blue collar workers. And that's how I grew up. Everybody worked a job. You wanted to get into the union. Ideally you wanted to work for the government. The joke was then you didn't have to do anything and you couldn't be fired and you had a pension for the rest of your life. You could retire very early. But what I learned very early on was in order to achieve financial freedom and financial independence, you had to work for yourself. You had to be your own boss. And I went to the library and I started reading books from people that became very successful. They used to be called Horatio Alger stories. You ever hear a Horatio Alger. Travis.
