A parable of determination & success

A PURPOSE TO

"When I first started the program, I had maybe 60 connections on LinkedIn but after using this process, I was able to grow that network to over 600 in just 5 weeks and land my dream job in sales working for a company that values me."

Gordon

"When I started the program, I was earning $48K at my previous position but now I am making $75K plus an annual $10K bonus at my dream job."This program changed my life."

Melanie

"I didn't just find a job, it changed my life. I had to lean in and trust the process quite a bit because this is not about just getting a job... it changed my career and my life. I am making substantially more money, 1.5X my original income."

"A Purpose To RISE" is a story about a man and his family striving to rebuild their city and their dreams by starting an ambitious business designed to help families find homes and revitalize neighborhoods in the process. However, when the going gets tough, the three siblings find that while nothing is stronger than family, forging a strong and successful business will require help from enigmatic business coach "Reggie" whose gleaming smile and aspirational mantra, RISE, represent far more than just motivation for entrepreneurs. Will the family business RISE and take the community with it or fall flat, leaving the brothers and their sister in the dust?

Matt Wellington yearns for a freedom that his current job and boss don’t permit. He has plans to start a real estate company with his brother in their hometown of Grant City. Matt’s brother, Allan, has a slight addition to the plan. Despite Matt’s resistance, Allan insists on including their younger sister, Charlotte, in the company.

Two years after starting, money dries up, and pressure sets in. Matt finds himself headed off to unclog toilets in rentals and patch drywall in flips because no one wants to work for him and not get paid. When the tension between the siblings becomes combustible, Matt hires Reggie Singer who is an owner of and coach for RISE. Set over four different meetings over a year, Reggie guides the Wellington siblings through their personal conflicts and business plateaus in resources, inspiration, systems, and engagement.

As Matt’s initial (and unrealistic) vision for his business fades away under the coaching of Reggie Singer, Matt refines the businesses objectives, causing Allan to quit and revealing his predisposition to dismiss Charlotte as an option to run the business. In the end, Reggie’s coaching leads to Allan being an investor/owner in the business, Matt as the CEO/owner, and Charlotte finding the freedom she sought by coaching other businesses through the RISE program.

Praise for "A Purpose To RISE" and Gary & Susan...


“I've known Gary Harper for a very long time. He's been instrumental for me as a coach, a mentor, and helping me run my businesses. With the rollout of the RISE curriculum, we can finally fill in all those holes, other operating systems kind of left open.”

~ Steve Trang
“The RISE Curriculum has absolutely transformed our businesses. As somebody who runs six, seven, and eight figure businesses, I need the right operating system to make sure we can manage it properly. Having Gary come to our office every single quarter to help us implement this system has dramatically changed how we operate and it's laid a great foundation for things to come. It's truly the only reason that we've been able to get to this point today. With RISE, we use it. We have thousands of students and we try to push everyone to use it because it is so good. It has really helped us to define what stage of business we're in and how we need to get to the next level.”

~ Ryan Pineda
“Rise curriculum has changed our lives. We have been working with Sharper for the last year and a half. Gary and his team are our business coaches and have changed our entire business through their RISE curriculum. They have worked with our people, making sure the right people are in the right seats, and assisted with developing the leaders on our team. They have worked with the culture of our business- rebranding our business on the short term and long term vision. Having experts outside of our business has been a great improvement for our company. Their RISE curriculum has been perfect for us and for our newly hired COO and her development. We highly recommend that you reach out to Gary and his team if you're ready to scale up and take your business to the next level.”
