Expanding BioDynamics

Robert was hired at BioDynamics to expand his company on the business side to seven different foreign operations. Moving to Japan on an invitation to work for 90 days and get paid for the entire year, Robert worked for Arc International.

His Experience Working in China

While building his company, Robert found that over 3000 companies in China copycatted his coaching program. In addition, Robert saw that many entrepreneurs often skip paying attention to their purpose, vision, values, and strategic intent. Robert eventually was banned from doing business in China and is still banned from the country.
