Instead of becoming a victim of these circumstances, Richard Weylman chose to overcome them through hard work and commitment to learning. His perseverance paid big dividends, leading him to remarkable business success and enabling him to walk through doors of opportunity that many with his childhood background would have not even attempted to open.

Beginning by selling cookware, Weylman's dedication and desire was eventually recognized with promotions to high-powered positions such as head of sales and marketing for the Robb Report, the world-renowned magazine for affluent and wealthy people, and as a top executive at an award-winning Rolls-Royce dealership.
