Scott Burrows, Inspirational Speaker on Beating the Odds, MDRT Recipient, Entrepreneur, Quadriplegic

Posted by CMI SPEAKER MANAGEMENT in Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX on Mar 03, 2008

In today's changing world having a clear Vision, Mindset and GRIT are essential for any individual and organization to succeed, achieve unprecedented growth and surpass the competition!

Discover how Scott uses his remarkable skills and myriad experiences to teach audiences around the world how to maximize their potential, develop more powerful beliefs and how to achieve the impossible, personally and professionally using his formula for success. That same formula helped him conquer more in his life before, during and after an accident that left him paralyzed from the chest down and diagnosed a quadriplegic, similar in some ways to Christopher Reeve.

Entrepreneur, Top Sales Producer, Murder-Ball Athlete

Scott used his powerful success formula - Vision, Mindset and Grit during his entire life to maximize untapped potential, excel and surpass the competition. He played college football at FSU under Coach Bobby Bowden. He was a # 1 ranked kick-boxer having his last fight broadcast by ESPN.

At the age of 19, Scott's life took a dramatic turn - he was a passenger in a single car accident which left him paralyzed from the chest down. Diagnosed a quadriplegic and confined to a wheelchair, Scott would not be sidelined. He applied his formula of Vision, Mindset and Grit and went on to lead a very rewarding and fulfilling personal and professional life.

After graduating from university with a Business Degree, he entered the life insurance industry and grew his business through 90% referrals after his first year. In 5 short years, Scott qualified for the Million Dollar Round Table, a 100% commission driven reward. Less than 6% of his peers achieve this yearly recognition!

A 'Murder-ball' athlete and co-author of Conversations on Success demonstrates that Scott continues to be on the playing field of life. Today, he is President of an International Business venture, exporting custom blended fertilizers to golf courses in various Asian markets. Scott presents to numerous organizations around the world, revealing that we can all maximize our human potential and surpass the competition through Vision, Mindset and Grit!
