Donnie Boivin On Stage
Your Audience’s Next Transformational Experience
CEO, Bestselling Author, Veteran, Farmer
I didn't know I could start a business. Being an entrepreneur wasn't a thing when I was growing up. I grew up blue collar, Dad drove a truck and later retired as a technician fixing copiers for Xerox. Mom worked in factories and retired as a receptionist for an eye doctor. The plan was always to work for someone else. I had no entrepreneurs in my family and I didn't have any mentors who ran businesses.
It wasn't until my life had gotten to a point where I was repeating the same bad scenarios over and over again that I started to look for other things to do. 40 years old I sat in my truck anxious, confused, and unsure what my next move would be. I knew working for someone else could not and would not be the thing I would do for the rest of my life. I was going to make a major shift to this thing called being an entrepreneur and I was walking away from being an employee.
I didn’t know what I was going to 100% do, all I know is that I could not be anyone else’s retirement plan. I was going to start a business and figure things out as I went along.
Now I serve as CEO and Founder of Success Champions and Success Champion Networking. I am considered one of the leading global minds on sales, business development, and business growth. I also host a top-200 Apple Podcast Growth Mode.
I am a community builder at heart — I build champions. I help small business owners leverage sales and business development to grow & scale their business through my global brand Success Champion. Success Champion Networking is changing the way people network with one of the fastest growing professional networking groups with over 55 groups in the US & abroad. The Success Champion family of companies also includes The Badass Business Summit, and Champions Table Masterminds.
In addition to running multiple businesses, I run a full working farm. I am a four-time Best Selling Author and a highly sought-after public speaker.

No matter what your business is, you need champions. Champions are people who will tell the world your story by referring you to other businesses, promoting you on their social media, and by becoming an ambassador for your business. They are the greatest asset in your business. Champions help you scale and grow by being a voice and advocate for your company. Champions are all around you, it’s simply a matter of knowing where to look.
If you sell to everyone you sell to no one. You must decide who you want to work with but more importantly who you don’t. Donnie describes sales as a conversation with an outcome, and it is OK if that outcome is “no”. The power of disqualification is the energy of saying no. Using this method isn’t just a matter of implementing it into your business processes. It’s a mindset change. If you’re serious about refining your niche and growing your revenue, then this is a methodology you should understand.
