CEO, Elevated Worldwide
Bill Banta is the CEO of Elevated Worldwide. He grew up in a blue-collar family where, as he puts it, “We were either going to be farmers, or we were going to be laborers.” He went into construction and real estate, built a business, and has spoken openly about losing it all.
Bill calls Bob Proctor his mentor of years and worked alongside him. His teaching centers on a distinction he returns to often: self-development is collecting information, and developing self is letting it change you. In his words, success is not a secret, it’s a system.
Bill co-wrote the free book PowerJumps with Tony Child and Nicole Kernohan, teaches on Elevated’s live calls, and lives in Idaho.
