Author's Spotlight-Erik Therwanger-Think Great

My guest today proudly served in the Marine Corp and served as a Corporal. 10 Months after he married his wife they recieved the news she had NON-Hodgkins Lymphoma. Due to the hectic schedule of being Gina’s caretaker, Erik left the entertainment field and began working as an independent contractor in the financial services industry in order to earn income and control his schedule. This time period caused him to seek out a greater life while achieving balance in their current situation. Erik applied the Think GREAT program to his new career and quickly became a top producer in his office and was one of the fastest to be promoted to the position of Marketing Director. He was often requested to speak to teams of financial professionals at different locations across the country. Erik returned to the entertainment field over 4 years later and took an entry-level position to get his foot back in the door. Once again, by applying the techniques & strategies of Think GREAT, he was promoted to the level of Vice President within 18 months and helped the company build a leadership team, enhance its sales team, and more than double its revenue. Erik is an inspirational speaker offering a unique coaching method. Detailed in his book, Think GREAT, Erik not only delivers a powerful story, but inspires members of every organization to Think GREAT and achieve greatness, personally and professionally. Erik combined the survival techniques of the Marine Corps and of being a caretaker to create the Think GREAT program. By learning to Think GREAT, we were not only able to climb out of our situation, we were able to light up the path to achieving greatness in many important areas of our lives: relationships with family and friends, finances, health and fitness, and personal interests. 6 years after going into remission, Gina gave birth to our beautiful baby girl. Today, our daughter is 3 years old! When you Think GREAT anything is possible!
