As the oldest of 3 siblings and growing up in a middle class home, Michael Walding Jr. had to navigate his own path to success. He has always been a dreamer and one to "think outside the box" more than anything. This created some pushback and negativity from people close to him because they didn't understand his way of thinking. Once he broke away from those people and surrounded himself with people willing to think big and take massive action, it helped him get closer to living up to his potential.

Top 3 Value Bombs

1. Study people that you want to be like and look at what they’ve done - right and wrong - to get to where they are.

2. Don’t be discouraged if whatever you have is not selling right away. It takes time.

3. There’s always someone that can teach you something.
