Larry Winget

Larry Winget is the trademarked Pitbull of Personal Development, a six-time New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author, and a Speaker Hall of Fame inductee whose brutally honest approach to success has made him one of the most distinctive voices on the speaking circuit. He has spoken to over 400 Fortune 500 companies and starred in his own A&E television series.

The Anti-Motivational Motivational Speaker

Winget’s books including Shut Up, Stop Whining, and Get a Life, You’re Broke Because You Want to Be, and It’s Called Work for a Reason! have collectively established him as the antidote to feel-good motivational fluff. His philosophy is simple and unapologetic: success comes from hard work, personal responsibility, and excellence, not from positive thinking, vision boards, or wishful attraction. His bald head, cowboy boots, and no-holds-barred delivery make him instantly recognizable and impossible to ignore.

The Cold Hard Truth About Success

Winget’s caustic humor and willingness to say what no one else will say have earned him a devoted following among business leaders who are tired of empty inspiration. His presentations are hilarious, uncomfortable, and packed with truths that audiences need to hear. His keynotes deliver a bracing wake-up call on personal responsibility and ownership of results, the real principles that drive business success, financial discipline, and why most people fail — not because they lack opportunity, but because they lack the work ethic to seize it.

The Truth Be Told

This is Larry’s most popular keynote address and is based on Winget’s two bestsellers, Shut Up, Stop Whining & Get A Life and It’s Called Work For A Reason. In it, Larry teaches universal principles that work for anyone, in any business, at any time. From sales to customer service, to teamwork and leadership, Winget attacks traditional business wisdom and offers simple truths in his caustic, thought-provoking, and hilarious style.

According to Bookpage, “his no-holds barred approach to business is refreshing, and his clear sense of personal integrity is a much-needed refresher in today’s business climate.” He teaches that business improves when the people in the business improve and that everything in life gets better when we get better and nothing gets better until we get better. His style is confrontational and he won’t let you off the hook.

He leaves you nowhere to turn but to yourself. Winget’s approach remains that WORK is the key to success: not talking about work, not having meetings about work, not writing reports about work, but WORK.

How To STOP Getting By and START Getting Ahead

Larry has become a financial guru to many people because of his work on Big Spender, his appearances on CNBC’s The Millionaire Inside, The Today Show, Fox News and more. This dynamic keynote is based on Larry’s #1 Bestseller, You’re Broke Because You Want To Be. In this keynote, Larry teaches that your financial condition is the result of your choices.

Larry covers how to set priorities for your life and that life is like a crime novel: if you want to find the culprit, follow the money. He tells his personal story of how he went from dirt poor to rich to bankrupt to multi-millionaire. He ties wealth building and getting out of debt to good old-fashioned hard work. He will also teach you how to develop a philosophy of money that can carry you through any situation.

If desired, Larry can also give tactics on how to get out of debt and how to change your lifestyle so you will have more money. While a serious subject, the speech is also hilarious and Larry tells great stories of his time shooting his television series, Big Spender for A&E and relates the stories of many of the encounters he has had. This speech is also the information that will covered in Larry’s new television special that he will soon be recording and this is the presentation that Larry has presented on stage at Robert and Kim Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad event.
