To many in the outside world, Tim S. Marshall is a business icon— but that's only a small part of who Tim is. His true mastery lies in the psychology of shattering fears and transforming them into winning strategies for life.

Touching numerous lives around the world as a professional speaker, Tim has taken people's anxieties and turned them into forward-moving excitement by helping break their fears of the unknown, of judgement, taking risks, income loss, relationships, entrepreneurship, leadership, aging and self doubt.

His authority doesn't come from a textbook; it comes from the trenches. Tim's life has been a continuous cycle of facing paralyzing fears, starting at rock bottom, then rising to achieve extraordinary success to teach others how they can too.

Whatever the fear, Tim shatters them by using over 500,000 notes he's complied going through the hardest situations in life personally and professionally. Having broken fears to succeed at the highest level, he then teaches people how they can personally achieve success faster by breaking their own fears.

Tim's early years weren't easy. With a very limited education from ages 6 to 19, he dropped out of school haunted by self-doubt and not being smart enough. These doubts turned into a core belief that he could never succeed academically. He decided to take these fears head-on by returning to school and making up 7 years of no education coupled with earning a 4-year bachelor's degree within 5 years Even after graduating, he struggled with fear of judgement, rejection and social phobias. His solution was to confront his fears and quickly became the number one salesperson in the U.S. at a Fortune 500 company for 12 consecutive years. These trials and his tenacity produced a raw fearlessness and unbridled formula for BREAKING FEAR.

Tim didn't stop there. He took fear on again by starting his own company in 2008 during one of the biggest market crashes in U.S. history. With only a small desk and telephone, and without borrowing money or even using money of his own, Tim grew the business to be cited by Inc. 5000 Magazine as one of the fastest growing U.S. companies four years in a row and sold it in year five.

Seeing Tim's journey proves that no matter what the obstacle—social, educational, or financial—there is always a way to conquer our fears with action. His best-selling book, "The Power of Breaking Fear," as well as 10 other books he's written, have become indispensable tools for overcoming barriers in every aspect of life, whether in sales, entrepreneurship, personal struggles, or leadership.
