Learn why he encourages you to “take the jump without a parachute,” maintain full responsibility for the choices you make/things you create, and never play down the importance of investing in yourself–every year.

About Robert Elliott:

Being brought in the family hospitality business exposed Rob to sales and the importance of community at an early age. Watching his parents navigate

difficult customers and the expectations of people while at the same time run a profitable business ensured that when he moved to full time sales roles he had all the tools needed. Those same tools have enabled him to become very skilled in public presenting, training as well as giving back to his community through volunteering and raising much needed funds for charities close to his heart. Roberts' mantra is “Just be you.”
