Phoenix , AZ, November 6, 2009 – Alcohol is the #1 health problem in America today. Affecting close to 16 million people, with an annual price tab of $9 billion in liquor sales, it’s a pretty safe bet that everyone’s life has been touched by it on
e way or another – either as individuals with a drinking problem, or with a friend or family member. Jeffrey Taylor was one such man. He began drinking at age twelve and did not stop until one cold, snowy night in New York when he was found by police in a gutter, stripped of his clothes. When he woke up in a hospital, on life support and suffering from alcohol poisoning, he could not even remember his own name.
It takes a lot of guts and determination to not only kick the demon addiction of alcohol but to ‘come back to the real world’ with a vengeance – and make it to the top as an entrepreneur and author.
Having come from a wealthy Jewish family in New Jersey, he never believed he had “a problem” because he was still able to negotiate multi-million dollar contracts with Fortune 100 companies throughout the world. It took losing his family, friends and business partners to finally force him to face the ugly truth of how addiction was slowly killing him. Written as a diary in his first year of recovery, he penned an amazing, first-rate biography. Written with wit and brutal honesty, A Gentleman Drunk (Executive Caliber), is an incredible story of the road to survival and recovery.

But this alone did not satisfy Taylor. Instead, he went on to become the epitome of the American success story – the role model for anyone with a desire to own their own business and become successful. Despite being in the worst economic climate since The Great Depression, at a time when people are barely clinging to their jobs and homes, he advocates ‘chucking it all in and doing your own thing!’ He knows from experience that by doing this, they will never look back. He knows because he worked in corporate America from 1975 to 1984, at which time he decided to change his life forever and become an entrepreneur. His latest book, Going From W2 to 1099 (Executive Caliber), is an informative guide that is filled with non-traditional ideas and helpful steps to financial freedom. This man has the experience – he has been on the top and he has been on the bottom – and back on top again!
