Overcoming Obstacles Part 1 of 4: The Stephen Pierce Story
Have you ever wondered how to start overcoming obstacles and outwitting adversity to live your best possible life?
In this revealing 4 part video interview series I sat down with Anik Singal and gave never before spoken details about how I went from a high school dropout, shot, bankrupt and homeless to making millions of dollars.
For the first time ever I spill the beans on how I turned myself from upside down to right side up to be a magnet for millions of dollars …and how you can do it too.
Part 1 of 4…
Part 2 will be posted tomorrow.

Wow! I know about how to turn tragedy into triumph and lemon into lemonade,too. I can really relate to your story Stephen. I went from growing up poor w/ a mom on welfare and a Dad who was a major drug dealer. So, you understand why I ended up a homeless mom w/ $36 dollars in my checking acct. to become millionaire in 18 mo!!!
There is always a happy ending to a story if you choose it for yourself….Thank you for sharing you story, it keeps everyone motivated to grow up and share their story, also….
I still want to be like you when I grow up, Stephen!
See ya at the top, over the top, and at the bank,

Great story Steven.
Your story reminds me that there is very little difference between a “Victim” and a “Survivor”. As both have had something traumatic happen .. but what sets them apart is a “Mindset”
Lucky for us you chose to not be the victim!
Keep giving us your insight.
Thanks again

Hey Stephen,
I already knew the core of your story how you grew your busniness from 0 to millionaire by reading your book and following your posts but the details you are revealing here are mind-boggling. This is very, very inspiring and I thank you and Anik for putting these interviews up.
Looking forward to catch the next episodes.

Stephen,
Great interview. And, as Ms. Bomani and you both highlight, obstacles are necessary for great success. My own father OD’d and passed away when I was ayoung child. My mother worked in a factory b/c the hours were compatiblwe with our school hours. Her example of hard work and setting priorities resulted in me obtaining 2 degrees (BSCS and JD); my brother obtaining a degree and a career working with juvenile delinquents (25+ years with the same facility); and my sister having a successful career – oh, and we 3 siblings have NO divorces, 5 children, and 50 years combined of successful marriage.
I am hoping to take the mindset that helped me prosper after adversity, and present it via the Internet. And you are a terrific example and role model. Thank you.

So true how many people get caught up in being a victim and don’t realize that they are the creator of what’s happening in their lives. Great insights.

Hi Stephen,
Thank you for sharing your history. You really touch my conscience in some way that now I understand that I need to continue preparing myself, and accept my responsibilities. In other words, I need to change my mindset and adapt it to it.

Wow! Stephen,
That was hard core reality at another level. Amazing how you pulled through all that thanks to your persistance, hard work, perceverance and ultimately focus to the realisation of your dreams.
I’ve heard your story before but never in this raw detailed version. Can’t wait to hear the details of the turning point when things started to come together.
What an inspiration!

Very inspirational, Stephen! I want my son to listen to this. Some key messages:
-Take ownership and quit blaming others;
-be TEACHABLE and take the time to learn to do it right before launching out…”People want to be great, but people don’t want to prepare to be great!”;
-don’t let past or present failures define you, “To jump your highest you gotta stoop your lowest”.
Some great pearls of wisdom. I’m looking forward to hearing the rest of your story!
[Reply]
Hearing the complete background of successful people for me, really helps. It give me the foundation or the complete picture of how a person was able to move from misery to success. As I have studied many successful people, too often, I get a snippet of “I was broke living in a basement to a millionaire” but the steps along the way are left out leaving me wondering how the mindset was changed step by step. For me, that is key information that I need to help me order my steps or at least put me on the correct train of thought. When I can see how another person has done it and describes that process along the way in detail, now I have something to work with. I personally really appreciate the time you have taken to do this. I look forward to the rest of the story. Thanks so much for all you’ve shared over the years as I have been an attentive student

Hi Steve & Anik,
I LOVE this video & cannot wait for the next one.
I was also homeless, in debt by $30,000 & drinking 18 cans of beer a day but turned my life around to now drinking NO alcohol, not being homeless anymore & I’m currently working on the money side of things.
Here is my story about how I stopped drinking 18 cans a day:

Wow, Stephen you really had some opporunities. Goes to show you, you must have a system. Thanks for sharng and pointing this out.
We should all remember, it’s not the obstacles that stop you; it’s your belief that progress can be stopped. Somewhere within each obstacle is a pathway for moving forward, find it!

While the things that I learn so far is the power of having a system. Don’t just jump into anything. Their is a process that you have to learn and the key is to be patience.

This is so enlightening. There are times when things are happening fast for some and not so fast for other, it feels like there is something wrong. But there is a process and the most things take time and we must be consistent and persistent determined to win. Thanks for sharing.

Great to hear your story. It make me know that effort and a dream with a worthy goal does produce success. my favorite Bible verse is Joshua 1:8 Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. Which is what we all want. I am really enjoying your affiliate program. I would like to market TVi travel, something you might also be interested in as an additional income stream, using your proven internet marketing ideas and would appreciate your feedback.
[Reply]
Thanks bro for sharing your story. The good thing about your past struggle is others can use it to move forward in pursuing their dreams no matter what the struggle is. As for me, I got story that will inspire many people as I become successful more and get known to more people in the internet marketing community. I believe not all circumstances we face are our fault, but most the struggle whether financial, personal, spiritual and family is the choices we make in life. Bro. Stephen one of my dream is to meet you some day and have a one on one talk with you as a mentor but I have to first earn it.
Thanks and continue helping others and that\’s the true reason for our living on this Earth.
