ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Rod Smith is an American Football Legend. He played 14 years in the NFL and retired with all the records for a non-drafted player. Just like his football career, Mr. Smith had to fight, claw, and scratch his way from the projects in Texarkana, Arkansas to the become a two-time Super Bowl Champion and soon to be in the Hall of Fame. He is a highly sought-after spokesman for several Fortune 500 companies like the Denver Broncos, FedEx, Visa, Cadillac, Nike, and Intuit to name a few. He earned three college degrees in business.

Growing up poor was a very humbling experience for Mr. Smith. As he climbed out of the ghetto to get full scholarships to college, he documented the process along the way.

Transitioning out of college to the NFL was no easy feat. But the same dreaming philosophies he used before would help propel him once again.

He studied and learned to master these eight simple, yet powerful philosophies that made him a multiple seven-figure earner. Along the path to success were some trials, some pain, and plenty of disappointments. All the while he crafted a playbook for a lifetime of success.

Since his retirement he became an entrepreneur, real estate developer, and business coach. He used his success principles to build a multiple seven-figure real estate portfolio, over $50 million dollars in coffee revenue and has coached multiple families to seven-figure incomes.

Understanding how difficult it was to navigate through some of the troubled times, he decided to publish his playbook. Mr. Smith is known throughout the country as one of the hardest workers ever in his field. He will show you how the right playbook can have your success come from smart work, not hard work.
