Against All Odds

In this autobiography, a raw and heartbreaking piece of storytelling, Jeff invites readers along on the "rags to riches" journey of his life.

From what seemed to be a perfect childhood, things quickly spiralled out of control: from his father's suicide and years spent in foster care to his mother's untimely death and being orphaned at age eight.

Along the way, Jeff shares details of the tumultuous years spent as a homeless teenager, and the life-altering decision to change the negative trajectory of his journey.

As you read his story, I think you’ll agree Jeff had pretty much everything stacked against him. Time and time again, chances were Jeff would not have made it through to the next chapter in his life. The fact that he overcame so many tragedies in his early years and then was able to change his course completely to become a millionaire entrepreneur is a story of wonder and, I hope for you, an inspiration.

I have known Jeff and his wife Margo since 1981. From the start of Jeff ’s time with A.L. Williams, it was exciting to see him grow into one of the company’s top leaders. To my mind, Jeff and Margo are true examples of those people who tapped into what was possible and realized their potential, and it has been a joy to watch.

Couldn’t Put It Down

Review - Your Journey To FINANCIAL FREEDOM

I could not put this book down. I have never been so enthralled by a book and normally books over 300 pages take me forever to read but this was done in about 3 days while I run a full time business myself. I loved every bit of it. Such an incredible story that is full of hope after tragedy. I would definitely recommend this book to everyone. Hands down one of the best autobiographies I have ever read in my life! Five stars! I wish I could give ten stars!
