Hi, I'm Rick Walker, and I'm the author of the forthcoming book: 9 Steps to Build a Life of Meaning: How to Unlock Your Mind, Happiness, Power, and Your Enemies' Demise.I began in the poverty of a two-bedroom home, with big dreams and low self esteem. And curiosity as my lone asset. Borrowing $1,000 from my Mom I founded and took one business to 400 employees by the time I was 26. I built another company into 6 states. At the same time I led a nonprofit expansion into 53 countries and added over a thousand staff. All in my 20's and 30's. On the tough outside, I'm a shoot first, ask questions later type of guy. But inside, I still feel that imposter syndrome of a little boy growing up without any hope.Others explain my work clearer: Former Secretary of HUD, Dr. Ben Carson, calls my writing "profound, refreshing." Famed podcaster and pastor Paul VanderKlay says I'm "a doer, not a pontificator." Navy SEAL and US Congressman Dan Crenshaw says I am "a leader and a truth-teller...a businessman, yes, but also a philosopher and a scholar...someone who has actually bothered to think original thoughts, a rarity in today's literature."But more than that, I'm a man who's been plunged into a life of love. A truer life than all the fleeting promises of competency, fame, and wealth. An existence richer than the circumstances of my past. Based on a search for higher wisdom, rather than living to selfishly serve my own future.For years the world's elite have asked me to begin putting some structure around how I think and live. To communicate the key steps from zero to meaning-filled living. So from their encouragement, and my desire to help others, I have documented the steps, self-improvement tools, and life turnaround principles which have brought me and countless others out of our deepest struggles and into a life of meaning. Now it's your turn. See less
