In this book, bestselling author, motivational speaker and business expert Wes Berry inspires, empowers and equips the reader with the tools that they need to win the Great Game, and succeed in whatever they aspire, in both business and in life. For anyone who is planning to start a business, is deeply enmeshed in one, or is just wanting to kick-start their life, this is the guide to get it done.

“It’s the relentless attention to the ‘small beginnings’ that will make all the difference,” says Berry who started in his family’s fresh flower business in a small shop in Detroit some forty years ago. Berry quickly propelled it to a $60 million-dollar international company with 30 franchises in five states and international business with a customer base reaching 130 countries around the world and $750 million-dollars in sales.

Using inspiring stories from his own experience, Berry strategically lays the groundwork to teach others how he did it, and how they can achieve success in business—and in life.

“It’s the little things,” says Berry, “that make up the big goals you want to accomplish. Pay attention to them, to those little details, and it will all come together. Broken down into manageable steps, nearly any goal is reachable.”

Success didn’t come easy for Berry, but quitting wasn’t an option. “In business, every success I enjoyed was the result of a previous setback. Failure is only part of the Great Game,” he says. “Some of my failures were my biggest blessings in disguise. I learned from them and went forward to better things.”

Leadership is another key element in Berry’s book. Borrowing from the minds of the greatest military strategists in the world and throughout history, Wesley writes a playbook to give you the upper hand in the battlefield: all laid out in small steps, which is exactly how he did it.

The keynote speaker delivered a powerful message with clarity and enthusiasm. Their insights on change management were particularly valuable.

Excellent sense of humor, and the content was fantastic. 

Wes Berry's keynote presentations are a masterclass in effective communication. With a finely tuned balance between uplifting optimism and refined humor, he adeptly captures the audience's attention, delivering profound insights that resonate on both personal and professional levels.
