Who is Dr Bill Toth?

Dr Bill Toth, Author, Father, Speaker, Success Coach
Bill’s Background
I’m just an average guy who’s learned a few things about Life, Success and Personal Development – thanks to some incredibly good and bad experiences during the past 25+ years. I’ve made many mistakes and have learned to combine down to earth values with a unique ability to distill complex concepts into simple powerful strategies which can be immediately applied to produce measurable results.
“I’ve traveled the territory, drawn a few maps and I’m happy to share them”
I do not consider myself to be an “expert” and my work is never presented as the definitive doctrine on how you should live your life or what it takes to be successful in your business. I am a work in progress and if you were to you join me on life’s journey by hiring me as your coach or partnering with us in business – our learning will very likely be a two way street. In fact, I expect it to be.
“What you know dies with you – what you DO leaves a legacy”
I was raised in upstate New York and eastern Pennsylvania. This rural upbringing is strongly reflected in my personal value hierarchy:
Faith, Family, Friends, Fitness and Finance.Education and a commitment to continuous improvement are next on the list. All these and more are strongly reflected in my coaching, teaching, writing and speaking.
While growing my private practice I also taught Orthopedics and Neurology at both the undergraduate and graduate level, produced a TV show on fitness, appeared on numerous radio and TV programs, authored numerous journal articles, chapters for medical texts, served as vice-president of my state medical association, and started a family. I have had the honor and privilege of consulting with and coaching a diverse population of people from royalty to prisoners, from children to CEO’s, from amateur to professional athletes from 41 countries and people of almost every race, creed, religious belief and nationality.
I am passionately committed to contribution and Living With Intention. Part of my philosophy is to think globally while acting locally. I am a very active member of my church, as well as several community organizations. After church, my favorite philanthropy is the Nourish the Children. I have also performed extensive volunteer work for both the Anthony Robbins Foundation, and the Make a Wish Foundation.
Since 1978 I have been in a gym or health club on a daily basis. My preferred methods of exercise are weight lifting and cycling but I participate in a variety of different sports because of the benefits of “cross training”. I also believe that daily reading, reflection, and prayer are absolutely essential components of both a successful fitness program and a happy, healthy and successful life.
Why become an Entrepreneur?
I became an entrepreneur because after 5 years of Health Care Reform I found I was merely an employee of the various insurance company’s I was interacting with. I became painfully aware I was working more hours for less income and I had to admit that what I was doing wasn’t working!
At the same time my beautiful daughter, Casey, was born. This was the first time in my life I started to think about my future, and of course hers. When children come into your life, your perspective changes from Firebirds and Ferrari’s to Gymnastics, music lessons, horseback riding and so forth. Suddenly, I had to think longterm – was what I was doing going to provide all the things that a father wants for his children?
In October of 1998 I started my entrepreneurial endeavors on a part time basis. In January 1999 my New Year’s Resolution was to put my practice up for sale. In May of 1999 I sold my practice and began to work on my dreams and my fortune on a full time basis. From there, it took me a full five years to get to the point where I could walk away and do whatever I wanted to do. Along the way I wrote my first book: “Morning Moments”.
This has been the hardest challenge I’ve ever taken up and it’s been the most rewarding! In so many ways, this is the very best personal development seminar I have ever taken. I met mySelf and my wife in the process…and every closet crying moment was worth it.
Today, with my wife Julie, we “get to” pay the gift forward by coaching others through the same process. There is no greater pleasure than showing others how to earn their freedom and then observing what good they do with it.
Life Will Never Be The Same

Saw your comment on the CNN Inventors article. Great advice about doing your homework before approaching anyone for assistance. Like the shaved head, too! If you haven’t checked out our products, take a look at http://HeadBlade.com.

I like your reply on March 20, 2010 to Pam in the Ask Annie column. You suggested that Pam, who is unemployed and very shy about “cold calls” and other approaches to job hunting in an environment out of her comfort zone, define her core values. I went through that process in 2004 and my life has never been better. I’m working in a job I love for an employer who has the same job approach I do. My husband and I are everyday developing a good friendship in addition the our marital relationship (or maybe I should say inspite of our marital relationship!) My faith is stronger since becoming a priority. My mom, brother & sister-inlaw, daughters and granddaughters and sons-in-law are are now a rich source of love in my life. Our finances are in the best shape ever. It’s just good. I’m glad I found your comment because it gives me another excellent resource for growth.
Dr. Toth,
I recently read one of your posts on a CNN article about a prostate cancer vaccine. I am currently an undergraduate college student and am curious to know what are your thoughts about this vaccine and current screening methods that are in place for prostate cancer. Please feel free to email me.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Andrew
For the latest info on that particular vaccine best that you checkout Medline or the journal where the research was published.
Morning Bill,
As a child psychiatry fellow who’s finishing in a year, I too have learned that the field of medicine is rife with insurance companies who attempt to dictate how I practice medicine. I’m not sure how I’ll get around paying back 200K worth of loans when I’m done, especially if I can’t stomach medical bureaucracy. Fortunately, I love what I do and hope to someday follow a similar path to yours. Any pointers?
Thanks!
Brian
Follow your Heart, care not about what others think.
Hi Bill,
Just came across your blog…and what perfect timing. So badly needed a gentle reminder today that I am going to be all right through this challenge in my life. I took a look at the video from Chris Gardner, and was reminded that I am here because of my choices..and most of that is a good thing. I also encourage people to look at their challenges as opportunities to grow and become more…please continue to do this marvelous work. Peace.
Peace back at ya. Thank you for your kind words.
Live With Intention,
Bill
Hi. I wanted to drop you a quick note to express my thanks. Ive been following your blog for a month or so and have picked up a lot of fine info and enjoyed the manner youve structured your site.
Good Evening, I do not normally post feedback on web sites, as I prefer to read only. However I find the website that you have created earlier has very insightful information, and I discover it very informational. I was searching on Google for ideas on self improvement and found your wonderful post. Could you create something the same insightful on how to self improve fast? Thank you. ~ Magdalena Stoen
