He claims: “is the epitome of the American Dream: he overcame a difficult childhood and went on to build a solid, successful life as a family man, civic leader, philanthropist, best-selling author, mentor and businessperson.
Even as he pursued his legendary business successes, Whitney never neglected the priorities of family, faith and friends.
Whitney’s venture, Inner Voice™, grew out of his own personal search for the true meaning of life and our reason for being. After five years of research and study, Whitney introduced Inner Voice to a worldwide audience. Today, Whitney’s private quest has evolved into a very public, rapidly-growing, always-evolving on- and off-line community and is now becoming a way of life for members around the world. He says Inner Voice is the most important discovery of his career.
Russ Whitney, Real Estate Investor
Russ Whitney launched his real estate investing career after reading a book on the subject when he was 20. He was a high school drop-out working in a slaughterhouse for $5 an hour. That book and Whitney’s Inner Voice told him he could do better for himself and his family.
Applying the principles he learned from that book, he began buying income-producing properties. His initial investments were multi-unit properties in low- to moderate-income areas that he would fix up and rent to hard-working people who needed decent, safe and affordable housing. As he gained experience, his portfolio expanded.
Within a few short years, he achieved financial independence. He was able to quit his job and focus his energy on his investing while also starting and building other companies. At the age of 27, long before the dot-com phenomenon, he became one of America’s youngest self-made millionaires.
