MACC 102nd Annual Meeting Dinner

Marietta Area Chamber of Commerce 102nd Annual Meeting Dinner Announces Speaker!

2017 Annual Meeting Keynote Speaker
Larry Winget
New York Times Best-Selling Author, Social Commentator and TV Personality!

His newest book, “Grow A Pair: How To Stop Being a Victim and Take Back Your Life, Your Business and Your Sanity” is a New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller. He has also written five additional New York Times/Wall Street Journal bestselling books that have been translated into over 20 languages.
 
He is a member of the Speaker Hall Of Fame. Larry has starred in his own television series on A&E, two PBS specials and two CNBC specials.  He has appeared on Dr. Phil, The Today Show, Tool Academy, The Big Idea, Larry King and in three national television commercials. Larry is a regular contributor on many national television news shows on the topics of success, business, personal finance, and parenting.
 
“The Cold Hard Ugly Truth About Success” is Larry’s most popular keynote address and pulls material from 3 of his bestsellers, Shut Up, Stop Whining & Get A Life, It’s Called Work For A Reason and People Are Idiots And I Can Prove It. In it, Larry attacks traditional business wisdom and offers simple truths in his caustic, thought-provoking, and hilarious style. He offers a realistic approach that will work for anyone, at any time and in any business. The principles he discusses are the foundation for true success and can be applied to life, money, parenting, customer service, sales, leadership and more. He is known as the Pitbull of Personal Development, the Rock star of Personal Finance and has been called the King of Common Sense and this speech reflects all of those monikers.
 
Larry points out the contradictions of saying we want success and practicing actions that bring about failure. His emphasis is personal responsibility, integrity, an impeccable work ethic, flexibility in a time of change, keeping a sense of humor and more. 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. 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. Larry says, This speech has been given to nearly 400 of the Fortune 500 companies and is the foundation of Larry’s approach to life, business and success. It never fails to make you think AND laugh!
