Life Training
Weik is an early high school graduate, having never gone to college, who successfully developed five dynamic corporations from conception to fruition ranging from renewable energy to internet marketing before turning 33. Weik believes he’s gained more from life lessons, experiencing radical highs and extreme lows, than a college degree opportunity may have offered. When asked what he believes is the tipping point of a successful entrepreneur is… “Living the life of an entrepreneur means living a few years like most won’t, so you can live the rest of your life like most can’t. For every new business I’ve developed, I achieved new milestones and new accomplishments I didn’t know existed, a successful entrepreneur never gives up. Successful entrepreneurs are tenacious and ambitious, we temporarily place ourselves in solitude to invest not only in our own futures, but our unborn children’s futures. The greatest victories are learning from your mistakes and (quickly) recovering and redeveloping from tough blows that keep most down,” says Weik.
