Bill Wooditch built Wooditch Enterprises, a $100 million company from the ground up from the foundation of the philosophy he lives to this day: "To receive value, you first have to give value." Bill's message is undeniably great, and it has elevated him to an iconic status that can be evidenced by his numerous television and radio appearances across the country year after year. He is recognized as an authority on leadership and performance. He is also the founder of Think Next, Act Now, a company that actively recruits, trains and mentors tomorrow's entrepreneurs today.

Bill is the author of the bestselling book, "Always Forward! Discover the 7 Secrets to Sales Success." His second book, "Fail More: Embrace, Learn, And Adapt to Failure As A Way To Success" is now available. His approach is a physical, intellectual, spiritual and emotional journey that will engage minds and enroll hearts. His presentations are the product of 22 years of "in the trenches" engagement, from rough-hewn job sites to highly veneered Fortune 500 boardrooms.

Success isn't fast, it isn't easy, and it isn't certain. But one thing is certain: success will always be under construction. For Bill Wooditch, success didn't happen overnight. It took years of dedication, applied self-belief, the mastery of skills, and at all times perseverance. Success begins with that one commitment – your commitment to make your life all that it can be.

He was the top salesperson in a Fortune 500 company, and for two years in a row, he was the top producer for the 6th largest insurance brokerage in the world. His transition from top salesperson to founder and CEO of Wooditch Enterprises, a company generating $100MM in sales is a testament to the power of resilience, the quest for purpose, and the rewards of achievement that can only come from a mindset that moves in one direction – "Always Forward!"

Bill is the author of, "Always Forward!: Discover the 7 Secrets of Sales Success" and his second book, "Fail More: Embrace, Learn, and Adapt to Failure As a Way to Success" is now available. As a professional speaker he has had the opportunity to work with Fortune 500 companies like AIG, Old Republic, Zurich, and Bank of America and mentors those who are hungry for success, teaching them skills to harness the lessons of failure to create new opportunities.

The hard-won lessons he shares in his keynotes are designed to shorten the distance between where you are now and where you are determined to go in the future.
