Mike Merriam’s (www.MikeMerriam.com) debut book Closer Than You Think is being called one of the most practical and straightforward personal growth and impact books ever written. Mike was born in 1977 in a small town in Upstate New York. In his early twenties, he moved to the New York City area, where he became involved in the mortgage banking business. He battled cold calls, increasingly severe regulations and, eventually, the near collapse of his industry as a whole. He married his best friend in 2005 and they have 2 beautiful boys together. He went on to achieve great personal and financial success in his career, yet at the pinnacle of this success found himself completely unfulfilled and disengaged. After analyzing these feelings and speaking with many others that had felt the same way, he realized he needed to consult with some of the best minds in personal development. He read hundreds of books, attended seminars and hired the world’s top coaches. On this journey of personal evolution, he discovered the secret to unlocking the life of his dreams. After some time, he realized that he had an obligation to share what he discovered with the rest of the world. Mike has enjoyed putting his framework for personal evolution on the page and is thrilled to hear your feedback. He truly believes that we are not only entirely capable of achieving great success, but true happiness, joy, and fulfillment along with it.
