It Worked For Me: My Life Seizing Opportunity and Building Success


Overview

What if one conversation could change your entire life? In 1979, Jeff Burgess was a 22-year-old college dropout drifting through life in a haze of beer, weed, and dead-end jobs. He was the ""town clown"" with an undeniable work ethic but no clear direction. Then, on a lazy Sunday afternoon, his father called him home for a talk that would shake him to his core: ""You have a gift, and I cannot allow you to waste it anymore. It's time to get your shit together."" From that moment, everything changed. Armed with a relentless drive, a knack for problem-solving, and a newfound determination to make something of himself, Jeff set out to prove his father right. Within two years, he skyrocketed from warehouse worker to Vice President of Sales at a booming tech company. By the time he retired, he had built a global business supplying surveillance video recording appliances to both the most iconic and the secure sites in the world. It Worked for Me is the inspiring, no-nonsense story of how an underachiever transformed into an industry leader-one who thrived not by playing it safe, but by embracing risk, trusting his gut, and always finding a way forward. If you've ever felt stuck, uncertain, or like success was just out of reach, this book will show you how to seize your own turning point. Are you ready to take charge of your future? Pick up a copy today! All proceeds for It Worked for Me will go directly to the Wounded Warriors Fund About Jeff Burgess From outhouse to penthouse.... He's that guy who started in the embryonic stages of the computer industry way back in 1979 as a non-college graduate warehouse manager, selling his way to the top as the CEO of his own $100M company. He never cared for the arrogance of the term ""rainmaker,"" since he always thought ""mercenary"" sounded cooler, especially while selling hundreds of millions of dollars of high-end computer technology to the largest companies and government entities in the world! His story is about all those bumps and bruises along the way, and the lessons learned honing his uncanny ability to turn opportunities into successes.
