Self-Made Is A Myth - Make A Difference Together

Many times those folks don’t even know the impact they’ve had. So, in honor of the fellow business owners in your life that had an impact on you becoming the person you are today, the Self-Made Is A Myth movement celebrates them.

Bryan Gray is the CEO of Revenue Path Group (RPG), where he and his colleagues guide revenue teams through periods of high velocity and uncertainty. Having previously led two businesses to the Inc. 500 list of fastest-growing companies, Bryan’s group is well positioned to understand today’s highly competitive arena and help companies activate their prospects to make better and faster decisions.
His approach is based on RPG’s belief that the biggest threat facing modern business is commoditization, compressed selling time, and consensus decision making—what RPG terms “the 3 Deadly Cs” and explores in Bryan’s first book, The Priority Sale: How to Connect Your Real Impact to Your Prospects’ Top Priorities, which quickly rose to the #1 spot in the Amazon New Releases in Sales and Selling Management category.
Always thinking about what’s next, Bryan is working on a second book, Battling the Bots, which explores staying relevant in a world of disrupted sales where artificial intelligence will reshape selling in ways we’ve never seen before. Outside of work, Bryan enjoys spending time with his wife, Kim, and their two grown sons, and he and Kim are always on the hunt for a great vegan meal and a serene walk in the woods.

No one is really SELF-made
No one ever gets to where they end up alone. Instead, whether we like it or not, we are a culmination of all of the people who have come before us.
Acknowledging your path to this point is more than a stunt to make you seem humble or even just an exercise in gratitude. While humility and gratitude are powerful, taking note of the assistance and support you’ve had on your entrepreneurial journey is a strategic move. When you create the habit of being grateful for your past partners you’ll also begin the habit of acknowledging the positive relationships that are in your life today, and even the ones that are to come. We Make A Difference Together that far surpasses anything we could do on our own.
Pay It Forward
So, in honor of the fellow business owners in your life that had an impact on you becoming the person you are today, let’s celebrate them.
