Meet Ryan Stewman of Hardcore Closer

Ryan Stewman started life with a very, very challenging upbringing. He was adopted and got into all kinds of trouble. He got arrested for selling drugs. He got out…. but got arrested again, and spent a pretty good amount of time in prison.

But today, fast forward, and he is a millionaire entrepreneur. He runs six different businesses. He’s published four different books. He has three healthy children and a loving wife… He has cleaned up his life and has become an expert in sales and entrepreneurship.

“After a tough childhood, I learned how to work hard and that doing the work was the only tool I had to get myself out of challenging situations. My journey to where I am currently was not smooth and I took a few wrong turns, but each time, when I got back up on my feet, I learned how much I was capable of. It didn’t matter the sales jobs I took; I inevitably became one of the top salesmen wherever I was. After learning how much I could accomplish on my own, I wanted to push the limit and learn how to run a successful business.”

“Through all the bullshit in my life, sales has been the one thing that’s there… Sales literally has saved my entire life. It’s the one thing that I can rely on.”
— Ryan Stewman

“I followed and mentored under world-famous coaches, often using the last of my money to afford the classes that I knew would save my life and business. From that experience, I experimented with learning the ropes of social media and I recorded live videos (before that was even a thing) as well as launched a successful social media management company. When I started Hardcore Closer, my business began to thrive, and I kept adding new products and services to it. I created other businesses as well and eventually, took Hardcore Closer to the multi-million-dollar business it is today.”

He firmly believes ideas are a gift from God. “If you fail to act on the idea/gift that God gives you, the idea doesn’t die with you, it goes to someone else. Ideas are a gift from God because he believes in you enough to give you the ideas you get.”

“God wouldn’t give you anything He didn’t think you could handle. Yet, most people choose not to act on ideas. Then, a year or so later, they see an idea they had, turn into reality by someone else. ‘Man, I should have done that when I thought of it’”

“I’m not a churchy religious type, so you can replace God with anything you believe in. I’m just sharing with you what I believe.”

The Most Powerful Lessons he has learned.

“I believe the things that happened to me were pivot points. The universe was saying, ‘You’re not supposed to go down that road. We are going to have to do something harsh to correct you because you are a hard head. So, let’s do this to turn you around.’ I think most people never learn the lessons of who they are. When I decided in 2012 just to be Ryan Stewman, my life dramatically changed. I got into alignment with the universe, and that’s really when things started moving on up.”

He has built my entire business from scratch, with zero skills, and a felony record, to boot. He has 28 streams of income and a sales staff of six. He has written two best-selling books and consulted for some of the biggest banks in the nation. He proves that no matter how many times he gets kicked down, he can get back up even stronger.

“Maybe you’re not in the best place in your life right now. But I’ve been there (obviously) and can say that with an open mind, hard work, and determination, you will get what you work for. It took me almost six years to become an “overnight” success. The key is to start now. Don’t wait to make the life you want. Do it now.”

“I went from prison to the penthouse, in the nicest building in Dallas, Texas. No matter what life may throw at you, you can turn it around and make the most of it. I did it. You can, too.”
