Your vision and ability to see people for what they can become
rather than what they are continues to inspire me. Its a lesson
Ive put to use with the many young men I have coached and
one I will forever continue to use as a father and husband.

This book is a work of fiction about a man named Jack Burton, whose career path was in many ways similar to my own. He thought he had all the answers but came to realize that we are all students and everyone we meet has a lesson to teach.

Burton sets out on a quest for knowledge to become a better coach, teacher, and person. Through the guidance of an unlikely mentor, Jack meets three extraordinary teachers and learns how creating a philosophy and having a system give you the power to access greater results in any endeavor.

Following the seeds of success that were planted for Jack will enable you to create game-changing breakthroughs in your life as well. I know this because they are lessons that have transformed mine.
