Gary enrolled at Syracuse University thinking it would be his ticket to pro football, but thanks to a lineman on the Boston College football team, a double knee injury derailed Garys plan.
The injury happened during the early 1980s, just about the same time AT&T was breaking up. Gary thought there should be a long-distance telephone service just for college students, so he wrote about it for an assignment. The paper got an A and led to a real-world job working with a marketing department.
When Gary Ryan Blair was only 21 years old, the business hed dreamed about finally came to be. He called the first long-distance telephone service for college students Collegiate Telephony Services. Six years later, Gary was able to sell the company to MCI for a pretty penny. He took an extended European vacation to celebrate.
After his vacation, Gary Ryan Blair was feeling pretty bored. He was ready to get out and do something, but what? He bought a dealer, and right away, he knew that the best way to market its products was to go to niche markets rather than geographical markets.
During this time, Gary also got his certification in the Dale Carnegie course. He started asking himself and others what his strengths were. The answers were strategy and goal planning. No one else owned that market, so he came up with the memorable name The Goals Guy, and the rest is history!
