Then read up on our interview with Dr. Allen Steven Lycka, #1 Best Selling Author, Dynamic Speaker, Transformation Expert, and Executive Producer of the syndicated podcast "How To Live A Fantastic Life," located in Edmonton, AB, Canada.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

I am an award-winning 3X international best-selling author, speaker, and coach. The audiences, businesses, and groups are those who need to be inspired along their journey, and who today does not need that?

Tell us about yourself

In 2003, at the height f my cosmetic surgery career, I suddenly and mysteriously developed a right foot drop. This led me on a journey where I was told by a world-leading neurologist, Get your affairs in order; you have six months to live; you have ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease). Since I have fought through adversity and cherish each day, I am given to make a significant difference in others' businesses and lives.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

I have been acknowledged as an award-winning 3X best-selling author, a TEDx speaker, a world-leading dermatologist, a coach, and a public speaker.

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

In this day and age, we are constantly pivoting and dealing with things we have never seen before. Worse, we could not predict they were coming.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

  1. Tenacity
  2. Vision
  3. Mindset
  4. And a coach to help you traverse the myriad of problems you have.
