Ron Sturgeon

Ron Sturgeon is a successful entrepreneur and the author
of How to Salvage Millions From Your Small Business. After
finding a following in the U.S., the book – which is now in
its second printing – has been licensed and printed in
Korea, China, and the Czech Republic.

Ron, whose rags-to-riches story began in the auto salvage
business right out of high school, is a sought-after
speaker and consultant for small business owners. In 2004,
he was the keynote speaker at 3 international conventions,
including two in Australia. His unique story of personal
development and success is inspiring, and his motto
is “mission possible.” He especially likes to speaking to
students and other developing small business owners,
sharing tips to his success, and challenging them to be
whatever they want to be with his theme of “mission
possible.” In addition, he has expanded his expertise to
real estate development and is a noted collector of fine
automobiles and antique toy cars.

Sturgeon seems an unlikely candidate to write the book, or
even know the terms. His dad died when he was a senior in
high school, and left to fend for himself with only a high
school education, he went on to build one of the largest
operations in his industry, the auto salvage business,
which he sold to Ford Motor Company in 1999. He later
founded and sold another business to a large public
company, while building a small real estate empire,
starting a small business consulting practice, and did two
in-house over subscribed stock offerings. Throughout the
last six years, he patiently gathered the terms found in
the book.

Ron and his wife, Kathi, live in Texas with their three
beloved Cavalier King Charles Spaniels.
