Kurek Ashley: tragedy to triumph
Kurek Ashley doesn’t really consider himself a motivational speaker or a life coach, he considers himself a success coach. Kurek helps people and companies in harnessing their full potential for peak performance in all areas of their life. From their finances to their spirituality. He believes success can be achieved everywhere.
Like all of us, Kurek has experienced very difficult events that would break most people. And in the beginning such circumstances were breaking Kurek, emotionally, physically, and financially.
Before Mr. Ashley assisted others in achieving success, he was achieving it for himself in Hollywood. Kurek worked on over 38 film and television projects, alongside actors such as John Travolta, Sylvester Stallone, and Chuck Norris.
While filming a movie with Chuck Norris, tragedy struck Kurek’s life. A helicopter used for the movie crashed killing five people. All were his friends. This event lead Kurek down a path of depression and self-destruction. He resorted to drugs to relieve his pain and was very close to committing suicide on more than a few occasions.
After two years of this reckless behavior Kurek started to transform his life. He discovered that through love and passion you can not only change your life but you can also change the world. From this moment of discovery, Mr. Ashley has been unstoppable. He wanted to demonstrate to people that they can do anything as long as they take action and have focus. To do so, Kurek walked 266 feet across 600 degree coals to break the world record for the longest firewalk.
Besides achieving records and success for himself, Kurek has helped celebrities and athletes such as volleyball player Kerri Ann Pottharst. Kerri was part of the Australia Women’s Olympic beach volleyball team. With Kurek’s help the team took home a gold medal in the 2000 Sydney Olympics.
Today, Kurek resides in Queensland, Australia and is the CEO of Kurek Ashley Success International Pty Ltd. Through this company, he is able to touch the lives of over 10,000 people each year through his seminars and teachings.
But Mr. Ashley isn’t stopping there. He has just released his book “How Would Love Respond?” and hopes to touch the lives of millions more around the world. “How Would Love Respond?” helps readers achieve greater happiness, success, and love. It was released on April 1st and has already hit numerous best-seller lists, including:
- Number 1 on Amazon’s Mover and Shaker list

I highly recommend you purchase Kurek’s book. It’ll not only change your life, but can help you change to world around you. “How Would Love Respond?” can be purchased from Amazon as well as from Barnes & Noble.

Kurek is a great guy. It is only a matter of time before he is on Oprah with his bestseller, How Would Love Respond.

Good post. I think it is possible to recover from depression, but it takes time and patience. I can’t find any good message boards on the net, can you recommend any?
