Robert Schmitz

Robert "Bob" Schmitz was born in New York and attended the University of Dayton in Ohio. Two professional endeavors drastically changed his life: he read the book "Think & Grow Rich" and attended a course on success in life at the Success Motivation Institute. At the age of 30, Bob purchased a small branch of a grocery chain. He eventually was elected to a managerial position, representing many other owners within the company. In the early '80s, Bob opened one of the first video rental stores on Long Island. When it became highly successful, Bob sold the business and moved to Florida to continue his personal mental and spiritual development. In late 1987, Bob opened another business focused on skincare and haircare products. Over the next four years, his business expanded into a nationwide chain of stores, and he developed educational programs based on what he had learned about self-mastery. This led to the renowned seminars titled "Mindset to Millionaire," which propelled many people to previously unimaginable levels of achievement. (The seminar program will soon be available from Kallistri Publishing!) Bob moved to Pennsylvania in 2003 to start another candle-making business with a good friend. This company also seems to be experiencing tremendous growth. Bob is also an accomplished painter. You can view his artwork at www.bobschmitz.com
