Be CEO Of Your Life!

The conversation begins with an emotional spark: R. Kenner French openly shares his admiration for Sharon Lechter, explaining that her teachings—especially the book she co-authored—played a pivotal role in his entrepreneurial journey. What started as inspiration for one person created a ripple effect, influencing countless entrepreneurs who unknowingly benefited from Sharon’s principles. 🌊📚

And that’s exactly who Sharon Lechter is:
A catalyst.
A multiplier.
A mentor whose wisdom continues to echo through generations of business builders.

From the very start of the interview, she wastes no time revealing her foundational truth:

👉 Long-term wealth doesn’t come from income alone—it comes from buying, building, and creating income-producing assets.

This advice is the heartbeat of her philosophy. Yes, income matters. But income is limited by your time and energy. Assets, however, work for you even when you’re not working. They free you. They empower you. They make life optional rather than obligatory. 💰➡️🏝️

From “Never Again” to Lifelong Entrepreneur: Sharon’s Unexpected Journey 🙅‍♀️➡️💡

Sharon shares her early story with refreshing honesty. Growing up in a modest household, she worked in her parents’ small businesses and swore to herself that she would never be an entrepreneur.

She longed for stability. Predictability. A career with structure.
So she pursued accounting, eventually becoming one of the first women in public accounting in Atlanta—a massive achievement during that era. 👩‍💼📈

But even with success, recognition, and a strong corporate trajectory…
something was missing.
Fulfillment. Purpose. Impact.

Then came the turning point—a simple, powerful question:

“Why not?” 🤔✨

Why not try something new?
Why not take ownership?
Why not build something that matters?

That question became the spark that ignited her entrepreneurial path. From that moment, she stopped seeing problems as walls and began seeing them as opportunities. Challenges became stepping stones. And entrepreneurship became a calling rather than a burden.

The Personal Success Equation: Sharon’s Blueprint for Wealth & Fulfillment 🧩🚀

In the conversation, Sharon unveils her renowned formula—the one she has used to build three global brands, including Rich Dad and her powerful work with the Napoleon Hill Foundation:

(Passion + Talent) × Associations × Action × Faith

Let’s break it down — with real-life clarity:

💖 Passion + Talent

Your passion fuels purpose. Your talent powers execution.
Together, they give you the energy and ability to build something meaningful.

🤝 Associations

Sharon stresses that who you surround yourself with determines your altitude.
You need mentors, peers, and allies who lift you, guide you, and challenge you.
Entrepreneurs often stagnate not because they lack knowledge, but because they lack powerful associations.

⚡ Action

The biggest barrier to success is not ignorance—
it's inaction.
Fear stops people. Doubt stops people. Comfort zones stop people.
Sharon’s message is clear: You must act even when you’re scared.

🙏 Faith

Not just spiritual faith (though it counts), but faith in yourself:
your mission, your vision, your ability to overcome.
This faith is what pushes you through fear.

Stepping Into Your Clients' World: Sharon’s Role as a High-Level Mentor 🧭💼

Unlike typical coaches offering cookie-cutter programs, Sharon does something different—
she enters her clients’ worlds.

She helps entrepreneurs:

  • Identify hidden revenue streams

  • Strengthen their systems

  • Protect their intellectual property 🧠💡

  • Build licensing opportunities

  • Eliminate debt that weighs down growth

  • Turn their expertise into lasting influence

She references clients who, after working with her,
went from struggling with direction to owning scalable businesses
that will outlive them.

Because that is her mission:
not just to create wealth—
but to build legacies that serve families and entire communities. 🌱🏛️

A Champion of Financial Literacy 📘🇺🇸

One of Sharon’s lifelong missions is financial education.
She has advised U.S. presidents, collaborated with school systems, and continues to push for financial literacy to be taught to children early—long before money mistakes can derail their futures.

She admits the work has been frustrating at times, especially when dealing with government systems.
But she remains committed.
Because the fight is worth it.
A financially educated society is a powerful society. 💪📚

The Final Message: YOU Are the CEO of Your Life 👑✨

Sharon ends with her iconic reminder, and it’s a message that hits home for every entrepreneur:

**Your past does not define you.

Your fears do not control you.
Your decisions shape your future.
You are the CEO of your life.**

This isn’t just motivation—it’s a challenge.
A call to step out of comfort zones.
To build assets.
To take control.
To stop settling and start creating.
To make choices that align with freedom, purpose, and legacy.
