Rick Itzkowich B.A

My personal mantra is "Live an Xtraordinary Life" When all is said and done, I'm very direct and I also have a highly developed "non-truth" (a.k.a. BS) detector. I challenge people to stop being reasonable and embrace an "anything is possible mentality."

At PL&L we work with successful entrepreneurs who have yet to reach the level of achievement and/or satisfaction that they know is possible We help companies create a culture of openness & accountability.

I have worked in the Personal Growth field since 1980 and have facilitated hundreds of trainings involving thousands of people.

For the past two years I've really focused on learning how to effectively use Social Networking to generate business and to share this with others.
