PERSONAL ATTRIBUTES
I wanted to make my first million dollars by the time I was 30. I achieved this goal at the age of 29. I have a very high IQ, and every class I attended in high school was unchallenging. I have a Masters in Marketing from the University of Utah and I have also self-educated myself over the years. I was making more money than my parents combined by my freshman year of high school. I have studied thousands of books and have years of hands-on business experience. I have been an over-achiever in every company I have worked for or created. You will not find anyone who has my history and who can bring so much to your company. My only concern is that the company that hires me can keep up with my productivity. I have no problem with signing a minimum five-year employment contract. I would like to be compensated based on my productivity. I can measure every activity in any job description and tie it to your financial statements. I can introduce to any system the ability to evaluate employee production based on several factors that are tied to job descriptions. This unique ability allows me to evaluate employee productivity based on tying job responsibilities to your financial statements. You will know exactly that your employees are producing results that are cost justifiable. All employee production must be tied to revenue, cost savings and profits.
