The State of Engenuity (conitnuation of previous posts)
(If you have not read the previous two posts, it would be useful to start with those before reading this)
The original Engenuity was composed of four partners: Ray Hooper, Les McGuire, Mike Isom and myself. Mike had been key in my massive commitment to financial education, espcially the first two years where I had traveled somewhere each month to enhance the amount of value I could create. It became common for all of us to travel to symposiums and events together. People actually teased Les and I because we would attend an event from 7 am to 10 pm and still talk for hours afterward. Really, Engenuity was a name, a common branding among for people with a similar vision and commitment. Mike and I didn’t even share expenses or revenues with Ray and Les, but we did speak on a weekly basis, hold each other accountable, and share concepts, materials, forms, standards and philosophies.
It wasn’t until a few years later when Les and I were traveling to Strategic Coach together that we actually had a formal business with this partnership. I had the idea to do one day symposiums called the Curriculum for Wealth and shared this vision with Les. He was a master at developing content and articulating complex topics in a very precise and simple manner. We worked on the concept for a few weeks and then when Ray had the idea for the four of us to get away and do a retreat, Les and I invited the other partners to be part of this idea.
The story continues…..more to come.
