What do you get when you cross an empowering African American motivational speaker with a strong business leader? John The Business Man Stevenson !

This unique triple threat cannot be compared to anyone in particular primarily because he has studied and has inspired by some of the world's greatest leaders such as Napoleon Hill, Michael Beckwith, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr,  and his main inspiration - Jesus the Christ who is the head of John's life. John surpasses most in his field today because of his resiliency and ability to continually reinvent himself time and time again.

The Entrepreneur

John has started several successful businesses starting out with his first business in 1998 having a store at the Cypress Swap- meet where he sold new and used goods. Following his swap meet venture, in 2003 he opened his first real estate and loan office in Riverside California where he managed and inspired a large team of real estate agents to grow their potential to the maximum and the success spoke for itself as he witnessed his company climb to the top in the real estate industry. Due to the rapid success, he opened another loan office in Fullerton California where he oversaw another large staff of loan officers and lead generators. Due to the recession in 2008 he decided to take his business expertise in another direction. Completely reinventing himself he pursued a career in the telecommunications industry.  In 2008 he opened his first Metro Pcs cellular phone store - the first ever in Moreno Valley California! Over the next two years John grew his first store to six locations that were spread throughout the Inland Empire. Managing teams of over 50 people, John had developed a personal niche for himself.  After conquering the telecommunications industry in just less than five years, John is now pursuing the credit and debt industry by opening up several companies to help individuals take charge of their credit and purchasing abilities.

Family Man

John's interesting journey has not been an easy one, growing up on the east side of Long Beach in the mid 80's when drugs and gangs where at an all time high, he wasn't able to avoid them but he did learn a lot from them. Surviving was one of the main lessons he learned from being on the streets. At age 16 John was incarcerated for assault with a deadly weapon and did 36 months in the California Youth Authority. During this time he spent in deep reflection often thinking about his young son whom he didn't get a chance to see born.  John is a single dad of four beautiful kids ranging from 21 to 8 years of age.  When he's not working you can find him at home playing basketball with his sons, styling his daughters hair, or teaching his younger nephew how to run his own businesses.  He is the vice president of membership for the International Toastmasters Club in Riverside California; He is also an active member of the African American Porsche club, and a member of The Grove Community Church in Riverside California. He also has two additional Ugandan children he sponsors from Africa through World Visions on a monthly basis.  John is now utilizing his strengths and out-of-the box thinking to dedicate a substantial amount of his time public speaking to youth, corporations, and businesses.
