“I was fortunate to have an opportunity to work directly with Paisley Demby. Needless to say it changed me so that I could truthfully change my business. The very first day I met Paisley he told me we was going to grow my business 10x in 5 years or less. The raw truth, I didn’t believe him but I was intrigued enough to agree to follow his lead. Needless to say, 14 weeks later I grew my business 700%. Just Six months later I exceeded his target. Paisley later apologized for projecting my accelerated growth out so far. To quote him he emphasized the “or less.”
