David " Mr. Positive!" Boufford 
America's Original Professional Encourager™

Over 24,000 hours of my life have been spent coaching and consulting with entrepreneurs and small business owners. During this work I have been blessed to impact people from every country of the world with positive, inspiring messages of hope and generate millions upon million of dollars (for my clients).

I have helped my clients launch, expand and grow businesses, transition careers and improve their lives both professionally and personally. I have worked exclusively with individuals, small businesses owners and solo entrepreneurs. I have worked with everything from an Adult Diaper Delivery Service, Advertising Companies, to Technology Service Companies and almost everything in between have hired me to help them grow their sales and profits.

I have helped many people transform their knowledge and experience into a new business or revenue stream quickly and easily using proven strategies that always work. I have been successful because I know and understand this one truth about business, all businesses exist to create and serve their customers, without customers, you don't have a business, you have a hobby. There are simple, systematic ways to find, attract and convert customers for every business and that's what I help my clients do.

I am very proud of the work I have done and the lives that I have made a difference in. I get excited when I think about the ripple effect my life, and my work is having as I contribute my gifts and skills to my clients. It is both honor and privilege to do what I do every day!

However, my life wasn't always this way, in addition to incredible success, I have had my share of failures…both personally and professionally.

I have gone from being a High School dropout, a petty criminal, by many accounts a total failure, a huge disappointment an outright embarrassment to my family.

I have also been addicted, homeless, bankrupt, divorced, depressed, morbidly obese and suicidal! But I never gave up on me and my dreams, I persisted and persevered and grew through it all!

How's that for a resume? I share these wonderful items about me to let you know:

1) It's not about where you are or where you have been it's about where you are going.

2) I want you to know me, I am not some magical business GURU with the midas touch, who has always been super successful. I am a human being with a past, a present and a future.

3) My failures and struggles have made me who I am today, a man with incredible ability, talent, skill, vision and compassion for helping people!

I am a man who through self-education, coaching, mentorship, hardwork and failure has fought the good fight and created his dream life. A life filled with love, service and success! (I beat the odds and exceeded most expectations but never my own!) I always kept my vision for my life being this way and it has always pulled me through the tough times.

My love of reading saved my life and provided me with the insight and knowledge that I could create a great life for myself…no matter what happened before or where I started from or what happens from here on. And I know this the same is true for you, no matter who you are, who you have been, or what you have done…you can make your dreams come true too!

I would love to get to know you better and help you create the life you always dream of living for yourself, your family, your community and our world.

Read more about me…

I started working at a very early age. In fact, here's proof this is me working the phones at 3 months of age! Who would have imagined I would grow up to use the phone to work with clients from around the world (10 countries and 30 US States, so far) to earn my living!  (Well except for my Aunt Lois, who always said I had "the gift of gab")

In 1975, I started my first job outside of the house! In my neighborhood, I had the highest grossing paper route from age 10 to 14. In addition, to delivering the paper to 57 homes each day (33 on Sundays), I offered my customers numerous other services.

In the spring, I sold seeds for flowers and vegetables; in the summer, I mowed lawns; in the fall, I raked leaves in the winter, I offered snow removal, Christmas cards and magazine subscriptions all increased my revenue per customer. My tips most weeks exceeded my pay and my side businesses often doubled that income yet again. I was off to a great financial start in life!

Growing up in a family of seven this income allowed me to buy the cooler school clothes. I could get the Levis with the Red Tag!, instead of the Sears "sucker" jeans because I had my own money to put with my mom’s to cover the upgrade. I also used my early income to feed my passions for skiing, ice hockey, bike riding and penny candy from the local variety store (my dentist made a fortune on my cavities).

Little did I know, way back then, that I was preparing for my life as an entrepreneur and this is the life I lead now. You see, I unknowingly was developing several different little businesses along the way, because, at my house if you wanted any extras you had to find a way to earn the money to buy them, and that was that.

After I was of "working age" the ripe old age of 14, in my family! I held the following "legitimate" jobs from age 14-21; I was a landscape helper, a brick cleaner, a dishwasher, a bus boy, a short order cook, a carpenters helper, a gas station attendant, an auto parts driver/garage helper, a truck driver (by 18, I had my tractor trailer license), a framer, an apprentice glazer, and then I finally made the transition to a sales person…when I moved to California, only to go back to being a glazer for a short time and finding out that being a sales person paid better and you didn't have to break your back or worry about being sliced by large sheets of glass! (Also, in my younger years I ran a short lived "organic herbal distribution business" but I'll leave the details out to protect the guilty!)

However it was only recently while writing my book, did I realize that most of the skills I use today in developing businesses were born from that paper route, my very first job…it really taught me so many great things about business, and most importantly about how to treat people. How a kind word or a simple smile could change the way you feel or make someone else's day.

In the ensuing years, I have launched a large number of  businesses. My last real job on a payroll ended almost 30 years ago (wow, it’s hard to believe), and I worked at home starting in 1989, way before it was cool to have a home office or even legal in some cities!

In these past years, I have launched, for myself and with partners, a wide variety of businesses including; a mobile car wash service, a construction company, a door-to-door advertising business, a local coupon magazine, a direct mail company, a full service advertising agency, a maid service (twice), a pizza restaurant, an online news service, an inspirational newsletter, a coaching business, an online motivational book distributor, a viral marketing company and most recently an online women’s community.

All had one thing in common, they were all started fast, for little money and had to cash flow quickly, which means I did not have time to mess around, I had to hit the ground running.  Some of these businesses continue to generate millions in revenue for the new owners, most have folded much to my dismay…but that is the life of an Entrepreneur, no one bats 100% in business, no one!

Recently, I discovered that my strength really is NOT in running a business day to day, it is in spotting opportunities to either start a business or improve a business.

My core strengths are;

1) Vision I can spot opportunities and under leveraged strategies that make money fast
2) Taking a vision or concept from the mind, making it real, bringing it into form, and then generating cash flow from it.

Both of these skills allow me to have a dramatic impact when I am launching a business or consulting for an existing business.

For years I looked at several of my past businesses and felt like a total failure because they did not succeed and I did not have what it took to turn them into large companies, then I watched a friend of mine, who took over a partnership we had, and went on to become a multi-millionaire (that was a little upsetting) however, I know that his success was directly tied back to me and my unique talents and gifts that I share with the world!

My ability to 1) see the opportunity (vision) and 2) quickly launch the business (implement the vision) have helped make his success possible. That combined with his willingness to invest the time, energy, effort and capital is why he continues to be so very successful. However, it would not have been possible if  I had not started that business and inspired him to join me for the ride!

I hope you have enjoyed getting to know me, writing this was quite a trip down memory lane and the images on this page were indeed a treat (never thought I'd share them like this) now I want to encourage you right now. I want you to know that if I can do all of this and generate millions of dollars, so can you! However for this to happen you must get started! Good  things happen when you step up and step out, things that honestly will amaze you.

The Universe rewards action and there is no better way to get into massive action than starting a business of your own. There's no better laboratory in life than the marketplace of ideas…and face it what other choice do you have in today's world?

Working as an employee for a corporation has no security, the government isn't going to take care of you…it's up to you and only you to secure your future and thanks to technology…it's never been easier!

I look forward to serving you and possibly adding your name to my list of successful clients.
