An entrepreneur since the age of nine when he launched his first business selling pizza to classmates during lunch, Corey has embraced the freedom and flexibility provided by working for yourself.

Self employed since graduating from Stanford University with an Economics Degree in 1992, Corey decided against going on to graduate school and instead became an entrepreneur.

At age 23, Corey opened a nightclub on South Beach becoming a pioneer in the burgeoning South Florida entertainment industry. Although big artists including the electronic artist Moby and DeeLite perfomed regularly, Corey quickly found out that owning his own business wasn't all that he expected.

"Employees, overhead, inventory, insurance, long hours...all made me start to wonder if there might be another way. After watching my father work 12 hour days as a doctor, I knew that even if I was paid a high hourly wage or salary it would still be extremely difficult to create time freedom, and lifestyle is what I really wanted.".

Corey's network marketing career began in 1995, when a nurse in Corey's father's office invited him to a "meeting" that would alter the course of his life, forever: "Even though I had no idea what it was about, I was open minded. Plus by this time I was 100% psychologically unemployable."

Originally attracted to the residual income potential that growing a large organization of product users can provide, Corey quickly fell in love with everything else network marketing stands for as well.

2 things that Corey heard that night profoundly affected the course of his life: "First, the concept of residual income, or the ability to work hard one time, and create an income that follows you for the rest of your life, made a huge impression on me. I thought to myself, what if this could actually work?"

Jokes Corey, "Sometimes people ask me what companies I've been with over the years. I tell them that's the wrong question to be asking. The real question is which companies haven't I been with?"

Through it all however, Corey's strong belief in entrepreneurship and self-empowerment matched perfectly with the tenets of network marketing, and he perservered, despite facing many challenges over the years.

"The ability to work together with other positive like minded individuals looking to empower themselves and others through the basic principle that if you help enough people get what they want, you'll automatically get what you want, really excited me."

An innovator and early adapter of the internet, Corey Citron has been online for nearly ten years now, being one of the first to capitalize on its inherent ability to build stronger and faster organizations.

In 1999, Corey launched The Concorde Group, which quickly become the most successful online recruiting system in the history of the industry, enrolling 100,000 individuals in just 18 months.

"It's just so exciting to be a part of the birth of the internet-work marketing industry. It used to be so difficult for people to build even a small network because you had to be so many things to so many different people. You really had to be good at making a presentation, explaining the products, the marketing plan, and even good at closing."

With the ability to market electronically, however, Corey feels very strongly that literally anyone who has a strong desire can now succeed. "The internet levels the playing field like no other tool in history. Its completely turned the way we build this business upside down. Instead of going to prospects - now they come to us. This dynamic alone," he continues, "gives the average person the edge they need to tilt the scale in their favor."

Today, Corey has achieved the pinnacle of success, having built an organization of 20,000 distributors in less than 18 months and travels the world sharing his vision and empowering individuals to achieve massive success.

"If someone had told me after graduating from Stanford University that I would go on a build a successful career in mlm and go on to impact the lives of literally hundreds of thousands of other people through my products and teachings, I would have told them that they were completely insane."

"People thank me all the time for inspiring and motivating them to be their best, but I share with them that they are the ones that really deserve the praise, because if it wasn't for them, I would have no idea what to do with myself. I absolutely love what I do and couldn't imagine doing anything else. This industry has given me chance to meet and build friendships with some of the greatest people on earth, and afforded me a lifestyle that most people would die for."

Additionally, Corey is a sought after motivational speaker and is regularly invited to speak in front of crowds ranging from hundreds to thousands of individuals. Corey has often been referred to as a "Master Motivator" by those who have had the opportunity to work with him, and is widely recognized as an industry leader and visionary.
