johnassaraf.com —  As a teenager, I lacked personal goal setting skills and risked the consequences of a turbulent lifestyle, one that could have easily led me to jail or the morgue. In my unwavering quest to overcome challenges and to fulfill my desire to live a purposeful and meaningful life and become a millionaire, I discovered a unique passion for brain research and quantum physics, as they both relate to achieving success in business and life. Today, I get to share this passion with people and audiences worldwide as a certified life coach and world-renowned speaker. Thanks to a powerful belief system and positive affirmations, I have been able to became one of the experts featured in the hit film and book, The Secret, and helped launch it as a worldwide phenomenon (for which Simon & Shuster ordered the largest second printing in its history – 2 million copies). Through hard work and continued personal goal setting, I’ve landed appearances on Larry King Live, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Anderson Cooper 360°, and many other major media outlets. I’ve also been recognized as one of the Marshall Goldsmith School of Management’s Distinguished Thought Leaders and one of the most sought after certified life coaches that people turn to when they want to live the life of their dreams. In the last 20 years, I have personally become a millionaire by building four multi-million dollar companies, including: RE/MAX of Indiana: now has more than 1,500 sales associates, who collectively generate more than $5 billion a year in sales and are paid more than $120 million in commissions annually Bamboo.com, a start-up that attracted over 100,000 clients in less than a year and generated more than $30 million in revenues within 10 months. Bamboo then merged with Ipix and went on to become the world’s leading provider of online virtual tours, including the imaging infrastructure for Internet companies like eBay I am now applying my entrepreneurial drive as the founder of OneCoach, a company that is helping thousands of entrepreneurs and small-business professionals grow their revenues, so they can achieve financial freedom and live extraordinary lives ~ a perfect alternative for people who otherwise would seek less multi dimensional certified life coaches to help grow their businesses My personal passions are his family, spirituality, exercise, cooking, travel, and helping entrepreneurs understand how to incorporate the psychological and strategic sides of building a successful business and life.
