Rave Reviews
"Thanks for sharing your story and your developing tools. I love the
idea of separating out our company bottleneck from industry bottlenecks as a
way to help identify your X factor. That clarity should really help. Look forward
to having our board members and our CEO do the exercise. And beyond this, it’s
always so so great to have you around. Great energy and a great mind. "

"It was great to have Barrett come and talk with our CEO members
a few weeks ago. The group enjoyed hearing his story and more importantly,
learning about how developing the right “X Factor” can have a powerful impact
on your business strategy. The exercises that he took us through helped us
to get outside of our own heads – and into our customers’ and our prospects’.
Would recommend his workshop to anyone looking to get ahead in 2010!"

"I want to thank you for speaking at the CII Council’s Annual Forum.
I knew that the attendees would enjoy and appreciate your energy and message;
however the feedback has been overwhelming. You have motivated seasoned (20
years plus) developers, real estate brokers and bankers to reevaluate, retool
and restructure the way they do business and the very way they approach each
transaction. I was amazed at the comments I received from some of the most
successful people in my industry."

"Barrett is a great speaker. I highly recommend him for any audience
interested in entrepreneurship."
"Barrett was "on" from the minute he hit the room, welcoming our
guests, chatting with our members, and warming up the crowd. He delivered
an entertaining and informative message with 1,000-watt energy. One of
the highlights of the evening was the Q&A session when one of the
entrepreneurs in the audience said, "you just told my life story".
Afterward, he was the last to leave, answering questions until the very end.
Barrett provides exactly what he promised, high impact and high energy."

intellectual humor was well-received and his interest in
entrepreneurial pursuits was inspiring. Thank you for an outstanding

numerous business owners and their employees who attended, they
remarked how much they enjoyed the examples and stories. Thanks again
for helping us launch our speaker series."
"Barrett's insight into entrepreneurship, the challenges, successes, and
pitfalls kept our audience enthralled. This is one funny guy who has
a lot of interesting stuff to say and who also has a truly unique
viewpoint on the world of entrepreneurship. Every entrepreneur and
those who work with them will appreciate Barrett's approach and will
recognize immediately that here's a guy who shares their pain."
"Thank you so much for the presentation at the awards dinner last
week. You were wonderful. Your remarks were insightful. Your
delivery was enjoyable. We look forward to hearing you speak on many
more occasions. The feedback that we receive to-date from out
attendees has been excellent. Your humor and approach to differentiating a
business was very refreshing. I heard from many people that your
presentation was the perfect antidote to all the serious stuff in
making entrepreneurship difficult. I do hope we get another
opportunity to cross paths."
"Barrett, you did an amazing job as always. Thanks so much for your
contribution to our entrepreneurial event. I personally appreciate
it. I appreciate your realistic style and emphasis on the fact that
one person can't do everything alone. I thought the event was
terrific, a great turn-out, a fun presentation, and excellent learning."
