FOREWORD

Have you ever seen the first official photograph taken of Margaret Thatcher and members of her Cabinet? At the moment the image was taken, Thatcher had just been sworn in as Prime Minister the first woman to lead the government of England in the more than one thousand years of its history.

A casual glance at that captured moment reveals the Prime Minister seated in the center surrounded by twenty-four men, none of whom appear happy about the situation. Only a few of the men are attempting a smile and one the third from Thatchers right in the first row is actually scowling with his arms crossed.

Considering the monumental success Margaret Thatcher achieved for Great Britain and the free world, the photograph prompts me to laugh almost every time I see it. That image, frozen in time, also reminds me of my friend Kelli Masters.

Considering the monumental success Kelli has achieved for her clients and their families, plus her positive impact on the NFL, Major League Baseball, the US Olympic Committee, and little girls everywhere... I can only wish there had been a snapshot taken that day in Washington, DC, when she took the exam for her sports agent license with three hundred men.

Better yet, Id love to own a photograph of the moment six months later when Kelli walked into her first agent seminar at the NFL Combine. There, she was one of the only women among nine hundred men!

I first met Kelli a bit before she began the career transformation described in this book. Looking back now, knowing the pathway upon which she was about to embark, I can say with certainty that she was prepared and not just intellectually. Kelli was ready in every way because she had so obviously worked on herself.

She had already completed a life transformation. By using every spare moment to read a wide variety of great books and by carefully seeking out wise mentors from whom she could learn, Kelli molded herself into the kind of person who succeeds in whatever he or she chooses to do.

As people read her insiders account of breaking into a tough but fascinating industry, I know they will enjoy the details of Kellis story. It is my hope, however, that readers will also endeavor to mine these pages for the wisdom they contain and to understand what Kelli understands: She did not succeed because of who she was; she continues to succeed because of who she has become. And Kelli will be the first to tell you that she is still in the process of becoming!

I have worked with many different kinds of people during the course of my career. Those like Kelli, who work to intentionally develop a high emotional IQ, consistently fare better in whatever career path they choose. Kelli has a fun, resourceful, and persistent leadership style thats both clear and effective. In fact, she has now become the greatest kind of leader a person whom others naturally want to follow. In an industry where suspicion seems the norm, where people are never surprised by a dirty trick, Kelli has become loved and respected. What does that tell you?
