This is the story of Johnny Wimbrey who overcame life’s adversities and has empowered masses for greatness. Johnny was marked with one of his first memories in life of living in a battered women’s shelter to growing up on the hard-core streets as a young drug dealer.
After several near death experiences Johnny decided it was time to flip the switch and refused to let his past determine his future. At the age of twenty, he became a temporary licensed insurance agent with no experience, and within six months of being in the insurance industry, Johnny received recognition as a top fifty producer in a national marketing agency.
In less than a two year period, moving from senior agent, to district manager, to regional manager, on to regional Vice-President overseeing the states of Texas and Oklahoma, Johnny found himself in the position of training experienced regional managers to recruit, to manage, and to teach sales development skills for well-known national agencies.
After recognizing the high demand for his services, Johnny decided to use his skills for a higher purpose. His passion is to create success stories by helping others experience financial, spiritual, and emotional wealth. Johnny Wimbrey has been interviewed on national radio talk shows and television networks as a young success story.
If he can make it coming from such a harsh environment, imagine what you could do!
