He was so affected by it, that deep down inside he decided that he would make it his mission in life to help people never experience such a thing. At 15 years old he started selling appliances and while he was still in college he helped run a 12 million dollar company. He then went on to build what is now famously known as the Entrepreneurs Organisation – which is considered to be “the global thought leader on entrepreneurship” with over 12,000 members across 50 countries After his first child was born he launched ‘Gazelles’ – an executive education and coaching firm with hundreds of partners in six continents Verne Harnish is today recognized as one of the world’s best thought leaders He’s the author of multiple best selling books including ‘Mastering the Rockefeller Habits’ which has been translated into 9 languages. ‘The Greatest Business Decisions of All Times’ which he wrote with the editors of Fortune and his latest book ‘Scaling UP’ which has won seven major international book awards He is also a world class keynote speaker and commands a $50K speaking fee.
