Profile
As the author of The Wealthy Barber Canada's all-time bestselling book and his new book The Wealthy Barber Returns (Sept. 2011) , he was at the pinnacle of success years ago – and then decided to adopt a low profile. His choice. For the next decade Chilton was among the most sought-after speakers in North America. His unique combination of knowledge and humour helped to take the intimidation and dryness out of financial planning.
Commitment to family and home schooling grabbed his full attention for the next few years as he retired from speaking to home school his children.
Full steam ahead again on the speaking front and, naturally he’s wowing his audiences from coast to coast. In fact, we’re lucky to find enough dates for the dozens of requests that come in on a weekly and daily basis.
Whereas Chilton’s speech focus directly following The Wealthy Barber pretty much got clients up to speed on the money front (pay down your mortgage; save 10%), today the message is very different. Equally compelling. Delivered with that Chilton wit, entertainment and wisdom.
His new speeches aren’t about just money. They’re about believing in yourself, overcoming missteps (in typical Chilton self-deprecating humour, which is phenomenally funny) and, most importantly, they’re about perspective, balance and operating from a values base – so critical for ‘life’ success.
