Girard worked as a vehicle sales manager.

Over 15 years (from 1963 to 1978), the dealer managed to sell at least 13 thousand cars.

The record set by Girard for 1973 has been officially registered: the number of vehicles sold by the American during this period was 1,425.

Despite his phenomenal success, Girard decided not to work as a trader until retirement.

At some point he stopped working in this direction and became a lecturer and author of books.

And that made sense: a lot of people wanted to know the secrets of Girard's success.

The American continued to lecture even after he had become quite an old man.

Girard lived a long life: he passed away in February 2019 at the age of 90. The cause of death of the outstanding trader and coach was an accident.
