Billionaire Bill Bartmann Is a Really Good Guy…

Bill Bartmann is a good man…
If there were ever a “Healthy Wealthy Boomer” role model, this is the guy. As Baby Boomers, he’s the guy we should listen to and emulate.
I first heard him speak in Orlando at a 2006 Peak Potentials event called Guerilla Business School - where I was an attendee. Then a week later I met him in LA at GBS (where this picture was taken) - only this time I was on staff.
Face to face, I was impressed by his:
- genuine humility
- consideration for other people
- grace
- mental acuity and wit
A majority of the “big guns” in the seminar circuit have huge egos. Bill Bartmann doesn’t - at least that’s my impression on a personal level and I say this from experience - not just conjecture. From June 2005 through September 2006, I was on Core Team (staff) for Peak Potentials for 26 events across north America.
In that capacity, there were many occasions to interface with speakers; often to observe them behind the scenes; how they handle themselves; how they treat staff; how prepared they were and generally what kind of people they were ‘behind the cameras’.
Bartmann is a tuned-in guy; fully conscious and present - both through astute observation as well as an active interface. He lives life fully and pays attention.
I liked him the moment I heard him say (paraphrased):
The difference between highly successful people and those who are not boils down to two words: Self esteem. I don’t consider myself to be an expert about too many things - but on this topic, I consider myself an expert. And then he told us why…
Aside from the fact that he is a martial arts practitioner, rides Harleys, went from being a human teenage ‘gutter rat’ to becoming the 25th wealthiest man in America, he’s just the kind of guy you would want watching your back in a tough situation.
You get a sense when you meet him that you can trust his judgment and that he’s not ‘running a game’, he’s the real deal. He’s a man’s man with principles and integrity and plenty of battle scars from the street. You can tell he’s conquered his demons and come to peace with who he is. He’s not a tall man, but he is a very “large man” with an obvious command of his personal power who easily fills a large space when he enters a room.
I trusted him immediately.
When he talks about his family, he makes it clear that his family is the most important thing in his life. The rest - the money, the action, success - is all secondary to family.
He also seems to be the epitome of innovative thinking and curiosity.
Bill Bartmann is currently on a mission.
Go here to get more info why: Bartmann’s Billionaire U
He wants to turn ’small business statistics’ 180 degrees. That is to say he wants to turn the small business failure rate from 90% to 10% - and increase the success rate from 10% to 90%.
And if anybody is qualified to do this, it’s Bill Bartmann.
Historically he is a master at raising capital on Wall Street without a personal guarantee and a master entrepreneur. He has gone from a $1M in the red to becoming a billionaire by leveraging a $13K loan to buy bad paper and then revolutionizing the industry.
Bill Bartmann Tele-seminars Are Awesome…
This month I listened to a 1 hour tele-seminar with Bill - talking about the “BAIL OUT”. He made more sense on that call than all the combined drivel we have heard from politicians, talking heads and experts over the last two weeks. Here is a guy with the economic moxie, know how and experience to solve the financial problems that we face today. And he has a plan.
He talked about how to correctly approach a financial solution and discussed the parallels between our current economic situation and the savings and loan debacle 20 years ago. Hey Boomers, Bartmann told us to quit listening to the media on this subject and not to buy into the doom and gloom because savvy people can become very wealthy given our current scenario. It’s actually a time to celebrate opportunity.
It’s just a matter of knowing what to do and how to do it. And he’s going to show us.
Bill Bartmann’s mission is to create a lot of small business success stories. And I think his primary motivation is to give back - out of gratitude for his own personal success and because he loves this country and the people in it.
Putting his money where his mouth is, he has put together a 12 month training program that he calls the ‘Billionaire U” - including 24 members only tele-seminars. Even though Bill commands $13,000 for a two day live workshop and huge fees on a private coaching basis, he is offering this program for $100 a year.
Now you tell me, is that fair? Do you think he is genuinely trying to make it affordable for everybody?
I do.
Every once in a while great opportunities come along that empower us to grow and make quantum leaps in our understanding. I believe this is one of those opportunities. You will benefit so much from Bill’s training, you won’t believe the value you received twelve months from now.
I had a chance to work with Bill at the end of 2006 and based on what was happening in my life, it did not materialize. Subsequently, I have often thought that maybe this was one of the biggest mistakes in my life.
But I’m not passing up an opportunity to work with him again.
If you have not already done so - follow this link to the Bill Bartmann Billionaire Business Systems and sign up for the 12 month $100 training. Bill also has a live two day workshop coming up on Nov 22 and 23rd in Palm Springs.
Boomers, listen to this man. He knows what he is talking about.
