On The Money Radio on Gwinnett Business RadioX Spotlights Training of Champions – Business RadioX

October 9, 2015 by angishields

ATLANTA, GA–(Marketwired – October 09, 2015) – On September 10, 2015, On The Money welcomed to the studio James Barber with Training of Champions. Host Joe Moss sat down with the “Networking Guru” to discuss his business and role in the community.

James Barber is a coach, trainer, motivational speaker and author. Barber owns Training of Champions, a company that offers training classes, motivational speaking and keynote speaking for companies of all sizes. They can train on various topics such as traits of champion networkers, effective communication, customer service and a plethora of business dynamics.

“Our company was born out of a desire to help business owners go from surviving to thriving,” said Barber. Citing statistics that 80% of businesses fail within the first 5 years and of those 20% who make it, 90% of those fail before year 10, Barber went on to explain, “The number one mistake small business owners make is they try to do everything themselves. It’s hard to build success when you do it all yourself.”

This is where Barber says the critical skill of networking comes in. As author of “The Networking Guru”, he has learned the truth about how to connect with people, befriend them, uplift them and help them achieve their goals so they are inspired to help business owners achieve their goals. Barber has simplified the strategy for networking effectively — and he can teach it to others. In January 2016, Barber will release the follow up to “The Networking Guru” with Book 2 in the series entitled “The Next Level.”

To learn more about Barber and Training of Champions, listen to the entire interview at On The Money.
