Richard Hackworth Uncensored

All of the successful leaders in any field of endeavor, had to overcome some huge personal and financial disaster to become successful. That is exactly what happened to me. That is how this system of life changing programs became possible.

I had lived a Rock Star’s lifestyle as a Pro Wrestler on TV and traveled the world. I spent my money like it would never end. Then, one day my contract was expiring and I was not going to be re-signed.

I suddenly went from making over $4,000 a week, to making ZERO dollars a week.

A few major life changes happened and then I opened my own business.

During my time in Japan and Korea I became an expert martial artist. So I opened a business teaching self defense to children and families and became the #1 school.
Suddenly, I was on top of the world and wealthy for the second time in my life.

I received an award in 1996 for being the first school in our association to make over $1 million a year. I was asked to teach other instructors how to do it. And I did seminars traveling the world. I visited 11 countries in a 7 year period. I was making bucket loads of money.

Then it happened again.

My whole career and financial status suddenly crashed.

In 2003, I suffered through 4 major hurricanes that destroyed my home, my business and my marriage. The hurricanes washed away the road leading to my home that went between the two lakes near my house. So I was stranded at home without electricity for more than four months. No way to cook, no water.

My wife and I began gathering rain water to bath and cook with. We used up all the meat that we had and we began eating canned foods. Cooking over a fire using wood that we gathered and dried in the house so that when it wasn’t raining we could cook outside. We would walk through the woods and swamp to get to a main road where we could go to a local convenience store and buy some canned goods to take home for food.

The road was finally repaired but the damage done to our house and property was horrible. What our insurance company paid was $30,000 short of what it cost to make the repairs. By the time we were done repairing the home we were nearly $100,000 in debt and had not made any money in over 4 months because our business was destroyed by the hurricanes.

My wife and I were too stressed out to continue our relationship. She put the house up for sale and me out into the streets.

I was homeless, hungry and living in a car. On nights that I could not sleep on a friend’s sofa or even on the floor I slept in my car.

Just 3 years later I have completely paid off a beautiful lake front home and two new cars. How did I do it?

I learned how to maximize my personal performance.

Wishing you the best in Health, Wealth, and Success,

Richard Hackworth
