Larry Winget

Larry Winget is a philosopher of success who just happens to be hilarious.

Larry Winget is sarcastic, blunt, irreverent and dogged in his expectations of high performance. He's gone from bankruptcy to millionaire by adopting his own principles for success, and he challenges audiences to get out of their comfort zones, to stop complaining and to start performing. Instead of calling himself a motivational speaker, Winget prefers the title "irritational speaker," and he thinks that all managers should create irritation through high expectations. Winget teaches universal principles that will work for anyone, in any business, at any time, and does it by telling funny stories. He believes that most of us have complicated lives and businesses and that we take them both way too seriously-and that we need to lighten up, take responsibility, and keep it all in perspective. His latest book, Your Kids Are Your Own Fault: A Guide for Raising Responsible, Productive Adult, follows People are Idiots and I Can Prove It!: The 10 Ways You Are Sabotaging Yourself and How You Can Overcome Them.
