John didn’t get his success offered on a silver platter. When his dad deserted his mom and siblings, they went from being upper-middle-class to welfare overnight. He was labeled with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Learning Disability (LD) at a young age. He graduated from high school last and flunked out of college.
How did he turn all this around?
Simple. John had a mom who believed in him even when a lot of people didn’t. And this set a leadership example for him to become the great leader that he is today.
