8become the person and professional I have become--said with deep humility.It was ten years ago, at 54, when I experienced a "calling" to go back and do what I was put on the earth to do. I remember telling my wife of the message I received, and I asked her, "Do you support this"? She said, "Yes! Just make sure you do it better this time around!"This was all I needed to hear. I realized that my biggest mistake was that I considered my own life's journey was all about me--what I could accomplish and what I could amass. But I was wrong. It hit me like a ton of bricks that my life's journey was not about me. I realized I was put on the earth, not to bolster and massage my ego. No. I realized at 54 years old---yes, better late than never--that I was all human beings--are put on the earth to serve others selflessly, and we must touch the hearts, minds, and souls of those in our life every day. Upon this massive realization, I was able to define what leadership truly is. It was upon this realization that I was able to transform my personal and professional life positively.Tell us about John Mattone Global, Inc.
