Dr. Stan

Dr. Stanley G. Robertson grew up in a project building on the south side of Chicago where he spent many days playing chess, pitching pennies and dodging street gangs. His original career goal was to become a graphic artist but he pleaded temporary insanity and joined the Marine Corps instead. He considered that when plan A fails, you’ve still got 25 letters left in the alphabet, so he traded in the life of a devil dog for the life of a suit.

Somewhere through the middle of the alphabet, he received an accounting degree, trained as a lawyer, and then earned a doctorate in accounting. As one might reasonably conclude from all this alphabet soup, he finally ended up as an author.

Dr. Stan has come to be known as “the quit doctor” because of his relentless determination to heal the world of the stigma and shame associated with the concept of quitting. He is an author, coach and speaker.

Dr. Stan lives in Chicago with his wife, LaTanya. They have three adult children.
