I'm the founder of Business Launch Academy and I'm really excited at the opportunity to help you build your business. I've been working in Startups and helping small businesses grow for over 16 years. I have failed multiple times as an Entrepreneur before I started getting any success. This puts me in a great position to help others avoid the countless mistakes I made and direct them on a path that gives them the highest probability of success.
Now I own and manage multiple 6 and 7+ figure businesses and I'm buying or starting a new one every year. I do this in a holding company structure called Barrett Ventures. You see business becomes a simple formula once you have it figured out. You can then apply the formula in a rinse and repeat manner to any business venture you take on.
I was keen to share the success I have achieved so I started writing, putting together courses and coaching. I am certified Mindset coach which means not only can I give you the business acumen you need to thrive, I can also unlock any mindset restrictions holding you back too. Without a shadow of a doubt, I would say the mindset improvement is the most important out of all the services I can provide.
I have been running a digital marketing agency for many years. Web development is a core focus.
I have lead teams to successfully deliver numerous software and real estate projects, on time and sometimes under budget.
I spent a large part of my career consulting and building native iOS and Android mobile apps for big and small businesses.
Seeing clients struggle to get customers, I learnt everything I could about marketing and branding. I eventually wrote a book on the topic.
I have started and grown several businesses using the same principles I share with my clients. I now buy businesses helping previous owners to transition out while continuing to scale them.
Mentoring, motivating and getting the best out of people. I love it so I followed my passion and started a business out of it.
