With no formal programming education, Bo Bennett created one of the first Web hosting user interfaces as well as modern-day Web-based affiliate programs -- and grew it into a multi-million-dollar company at the age of 29.
Adgrafix grew to over 200 employees before he sold it in March 2001 for $20,000,000 to Allegiance Telecom. He is one of the most successful people of his generation.
Bo, 32, started young as an entrepreneur, creating and selling wooden key racks in his father's workshop at the age of 10. Today he is the president and CEO of Archieboy Holdings LLC, a company primarily focused in the Web hosting industry. He has over 5,000 members in his Year To Success Club.
He has devoted his young life to answering the question, "What makes some people succeed where the vast majority of people live mediocre lives?" He offers inspiration, wisdom and several thousand principles to guide someone to a lifetime of success in his new book, Year To Success. It contains principles as old as time as well as principles needed to succeed in a modern economy
After he and his wife sold their graphic design business, they parlayed the funds into a Web hosting venture -- Adgrafix -- which quickly grew to 3000 customers with $450,000 in monthly revenues. He is now a successful entrepreneur, author, graphic designer, computer programmer, and inspirational speaker.
At age 18 he became a black belt in Shaolin Kempo Karate and later earned a second degree black belt in Tae-Kwon Do. His health and fitness extend to a lifestyle absent of smoking, drinking alcohol or consuming coffee. He asserts: "Taking artificial stimulants and depressants to manage stress is like pouring gasoline on fire. Let the natural high of success be all the stimulation that you need."
Bo graduated from Bryant College in 1994 (Rhode Island) with a Bachelor of Arts in Marketing. While attending school he began a business selling imprinted merchandise to colleges (T-shirts, mugs, pens, etc.). Six months prior to graduating, a customer swindled him out of $250,000, so he sold the company for one dollar -- along with all of the assets and debts. He has learned what it means to be successful .
Bo emphasizes that there are no get-rich quick schemes to success, no simple set of rules to follow nor any dirty little secrets to discover if you want a lifetime of success. "You simply must learn, live and honor the thousands of time-honored principles in Year To Success."
He now resides in Massachusetts with his wife, Kim, and their two young children.
