ABOUT DR. COLONNA
BUILDING EMPIRES
A PHILOSOPHY FOR THE FUTURE
We are only limited by the things that we allow to limit us. The keys to success and productivity are already in our pocket. You just need someone to show you the lock and encourage you to open the door. I will help you and your team figure out what is coming next and how to shape it.
BUILDING CONNECTIONS
I have fully dedicated myself to bringing my message to conferences around the world. Whether as a keynote speaker or a workshop leader, I will help break through the boundaries that are limiting your team and get them ready to shape the future. Let me and my team help you move from the world of yesterday’s regrets to the world of tomorrow’s victories.
HELPING SMALL BUSINESSES
Being a small business owner, I believe that small business owners are what makes our economy thrive. Small businesses are what make communities run. We are the ones that sponsor the local sports teams and are involved in the schools. We give back, we hire, we foster relationships. All of our employees are from our community. Helping small business owners has been my biggest passion and something I’ve been doing more frequently.

Mastermind Groups & Online Meetings
It’s really the idea to build a community of CEOs that work together and collaborate and learn. When you surround yourself with other like-minded entrepeneurs, the ideas start to really flow. But it’s all about taking the action after, and then working with to help you keep you more accountable on a monthly basis, so that you could continue that path. Our goal is to help CEOs take things to the next level, but to have fun too. It’s not all about business. Business can be fun. It should be enjoyable. We all deserve to live out our passion, whatever it is for each individual
