Preston Smiles explains that what we should all be working towards is being successful on our own terms not what has been labeled as success by history or society. If that means fast cars, an abundance of money, making a massive impact on the world, or doing what you absolutely love every single day will make you successful, then you should be the one that believes this. Preston believes that love is was and all there ever will be. He's truly passionate about spreading love everywhere he possibly can. While he was originally told that no one would ever invest in his dream, he felt extremely deflated. He did not listen. Instead, he followed his dream and evolved as a human throughout his journey by MONETIZE IT - Turn Your Gifts, Knowledge, And Passion Into A Profitable Online Business.
