As a teenager, Mark Erwin was headed straight for disaster. An academic failure, Erwin took to forging his wealthy mother's signature for money until he was caught and sent to jail for check fraud. Rather than sentencing him to four years in juvenile hall, the judge gave Erwin the opportunity to join the military for the same amount of time. That act of mercy changed Erwin's life forever.
With no financial resources, little education, and few prospects, Erwin became determined to succeed in spite of his circumstances. He ultimately achieved extraordinary success in business, philanthropy, politics, diplomacy and his personal life. Along the way he learned valuable lessons about intellectual curiosity, vision, goal-setting, persistence, willpower, and mentorship that he shares inThe Powers.
Erwin has mentored hundreds of people, both young and old, and has written The Powers to share the life lessons from his remarkable journey that brought him from a jail cell at sixteen to a self-earned multimillionaire before his 40th birthday. This book is full of personal stories, philosophical and practical advice, and a one-of-a-kind collection of wisdom and insight from the most successful people in history, many of whom Erwin knows personally, including Bill Clinton, Tony DeBlois, Wayne Huizenga and more.
The Powers will resonate with readers of all ages who wish to learn what they must do to become extraordinary.
