About Gary
I grew up in Canton, Ohio in the 1950s. At one point there were six of us living in a two bedroom house. The earliest memories I have of my parents is of them sitting around the kitchen table. They weren’t eating. They were arguing, trying to figure out how to make ends meet. I remember seeing my mom with a stack of envelopes in front of her – one for each bill due – and she was shuffling money between them. I remember the tension in the room as she and my father were going back and forth about which bills to pay and which they could put off until next month.
“You’ve got to be the one in the room who wants to help people. Stop thinking about what’s best for you and start thinking about what’s best for them.” -Gary Sirak
Author
I write because I want to give back. It gives me the chance to pass along the lessons I have spent my life learning: First hand experience about what to do and what not to do when it comes to money and achievement. If I can inspire just one person, than I know I did my job as an author.
Speaker
The best part about writing books is the power it gives me to reach and touch so many lives. The second best part about writing books - is talking about them. (In fact, between you and me, - I think I actually might like talking about my books more than writing them.) There’s something magical about connecting in person. Watching the lights go on for people in my audience never gets old.
