Howard has a unique knack for being able to coach people, and he’s on a daily basis impacting thousands of people worldwide.
Howard is originally from Lower Alabama and grew up in a family of 7 kids in quite a rundown old shack surviving on welfare. At 18 years he moved to Houston. He started his career being a professional waiter and married into an Italian family using the money he got from Wedding presents to start his own business from the trunk of his car. After learning 2 important lessons from Michael Gerber – (1) You gotta have systems in your business and (2) you have to understand what your primary aim is he started to coach other business owners to use their own unique systems, and has continued to do so for 20 years.
To get into the coaching side of the business Howard started writing articles, talking at seminars and found that people just liked the systems that he had and what he had to say, and this led on to the successful career that he has today.
One of the greatest associations that Howard has is with Zig Ziglar and his family which first lead to him creating some video content for clients, and then led onto contributing a quote and a chapter to Zig’s final book, and eventually becoming the small business coach for Ziglar.
Lessons Learned from Michael Gerber:
- Get people in with the lowest level of experience and develop their skills to your own liking.
- You’ve got to have systems and communicate to these people properly.
A Day In The Life

- Read a chapter of the bible and pray, start working on projects.

Faith is everything – Howard is a born again Christian and proud of it, but he has no issue with people who are non-believers. At his conferences he does a Spiritual night – a time to share faith and share prayers with each other.
