Here & Now

Here & Now is known for its Mastermind and Round Table series as well as its upcoming e-book and audio program. Here & Now produces seminars for the new era of entrepreneurship, shifting the focus beyond making money and towards making a real difference on the planet. A person's greatest financial success will result by living from passion and true contribution to others. In the Here & Now, entrepreneurship is more than just the new wave. It's the new standard. It's the most effective way to move humanity forward, and statistics about entrepreneurial failure will radically diminish since we now come from collaboration over competition. This is a movement. An unleashing of the human spirit. A recognition of what's not working in our own lives and in the world around us – and now instead of bar chatter and venting, the era of Here & Now is about people taking real actions that make a positive difference. Here & Now focuses equally on the "being" and the "doing" of business. And the moment we get there is no separation between us and others, only in that moment are we free to create change.
