This story is one of challenge, adversity, and success. It is the story of a man who grew up with nothing, facing overwhelming hardships, and in spite of that, made it. It is not your typical rags-to-riches story. It is a raw, unflinching account of how Billy Thompson took misfortune and transformed it into companies worth tens of millions of dollars, then he chose to walk away from it in pursuit of a different kind of success, his success.

There are key details that will follow you when you’re chasing a version of success that is not your own. So, how do you know if you are heading in the wrong direction?

1. Are you feeling lost, unsure, unmotivated?
2. Does success feel less than you imagined?
3. Wishing you had more time for your family?
4. Feeling overworked, underpaid, or meaningless?
5. Feeling a lack of control, or unable to change?

If you identify with any of the above sentiments, it is a sign that you are guiding yourself toward a version of success that doesn’t fit your life—or who you are.

Life lessons, business advice, cost versus value, insight models, personal revelations, and more can all be found within.

The world tells you there is one success, fame, and fortune. This is a lie. This story is powerful, inspiring, and relatable about someone who walked away from the lie to find their version of success. This journey will lead you through Billy’s personal experiences to help you discover your own enlightenment, to find your success.
