About Nancy D. Butler
Nancy D. Butler is the founder of Above All Else, Success in Life and Business®, an organization dedicated to helping individuals create more fulfilling lives and achieve their dreams, while guiding businesses to deliver exceptional client experiences and increase profitability.
For more than 35 years, Nancy has worked with thousands of people, organizations, and companies to improve performance, strengthen financial stability, and inspire lasting success. Her journey began under challenging circumstances—as a single mother with no alimony, child support, or other income. Determined to build a better life for her two young daughters, she relocated 70 miles, turned down a salaried job, and instead pursued building a business of her own. What began as a necessity to support her family became a remarkable achievement. Nancy grew her asset management and financial planning firm to $200 million in assets under management. After 25 years, she sold the business to focus on sharing her knowledge as an international speaker, instructor, business coach, and award-winning author.
