Gene Hammett was this week's guest on Success Profiles Radio. He is the author of the book "The Trap Of Success: A Brutally Candid Guide To Overcoming Your Fears, Finding Significance, And Achieving Profound Success".

He discussed how he overcame dealing with a bad business partner in which he went from being $1.3 million in the black to being over $3 million in debt. We also talked about how he reinvented himself, playing to win vs playing not to lose, and the role of forgiveness.

In addition, we discussed how speaking is the #1 way he obtains new clients, the top value he has that guides his business, and how he coaches high-level clients to achieve their best.

We also discussed the power of saying NO and dealing with distractions, how to separate the doers from the talkers, and how doing martial arts has grounded him and helped him gain valuable perspective.  We talked about these topics and so much more.
