Jim and his wife Sharon are direct selling phenoms, building one of the largest direct selling businesses in Canada, the U.S., and around the world. They started out entirely broke and within a few short years were doing well over $1 million in business per year. Since then, Jim and Sharon have spoken to hundreds of thousands of people inspiring them with their story and helping them to dream big.

This clip is part of a longer interview in which Jim talks about what motivated him early on in his career, the importance of mentors (his Robert Kiyosaki “Rich Dad” moment), and how to stay inspired and motivated for the long haul. Stay tuned for the rest of this interview.

Sorry if I sound a little sleepy – it was early! Enjoy!
