Sam J. Lucci, III
CEO, Founder, Director of Curriculum Development & Trainer

"There's nothing I like more than helping fellow entrepreneurs and salespeople to discover the negative beliefs that are holding them back.  When I read Napoleon Hill's classic Think and Grow Rich, I understood right away that this was the key to success in all phases of life.  But even Napoleon Hill did not understand why most people don't make this successful formula work for them.  Instead of succeeding, entrepreneurs often find themselves as the CEO of ME, Inc., overwhelmed by daily tasks, never hiring the right people.  Salespeople don't understand how they can have one great month of sales followed by three months of failure.  I founded Partners Through People to help entrepreneurs and salespeople solve those business problems that never seem to go away."
