You may not be a treasure hunter in the literal sense, but we all have our treasures - things we value highly and go to great lengths to acquire, honor, or serve. When you think about it, few things in our lives truly qualify as treasure.At a crossroads in his life, Kent Burns went in search of his treasure. The result? After fifteen years as an accountant, within sixty days, he made a life-changing decision to leave accounting and corporate America behind. He left a six-figure salary and took a 100 percent commission recruiting job that guaranteed him ZERO income. Within four years, he was the number one individual producer worldwide at the largest recruiting firm in the world.How did he do it? His treasure hunt led him to answer a simple three-word question: "What's Your Why?" The answer has changed his life forever.What about you?
