Ralph Hoehne
Mind Your Own Business (M,T,Th,Fr 5pm-6pm)

In a time when our economy is described as being in crisis, entrepreneur and
businessman, Ralph Hoehne has a proven track record of outstanding growth and
success. A true inspiration to his peers and colleagues, Ralph has dedicated much of his
personal time to teach practical tools to live blessed beyond measure in the area of
finances.  Walking away from a scholarship to college, Canadian-born, Ralph Hoehne had
a different plan, to make money. After just 3 years of entering the highly competitive real
estate market, he was named one of the Top 50 Realtors in his home province of
Manitoba, Canada, surpassing 1500 other real estate professionals. For 17 consecutive
years, Ralph remained in the top 10% of real estate earners. While still in Canada, Ralph
was acting CEO of a National Beverage Company. In less than 3 years he turned the
business from an almost bankrupt financial state to being highly profitable. Now living in
Florida with his family, they continue to live in financial abundance from a market
considered to be in its worst era.  Wanting to share and teach prosperity for a purpose to
businessman and women, Ralph wrote and published, “Anointed to Prosper, Keys to
Breaking the Power of Debt”. As a result of his understandable approach in the basics of
Biblical Economics and practical faith principles, Ralph has been invited to speak and lead
at different seminars and courses. He has also invested time in serving as a Board
Member for several non-for profit organizations.

Today, he is host of “Mind Your Own Business” Talk Show. This show airs Monday,
Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 5pm-6pm Primetime on WWPR 1490AM. Here he
deals with real issues in business today and offers practical strategies that work for any
