Anyone can write a generalized recommendation but in the case of David Barnett, I got to see him in action, behind the scenes, during his professional activity at an international trade association event and when, in 2011, he Canadianized my bestselling (in the USA) book, "How to Get ALL the Money You Want For Your Business Without Stealing It ™." And then he created a website to publicize the book for Canadians. He did not merely edit my book, he helped me purge it of USA- only info and add techniques especially valuable in Canada. That process, and his qualifying to be an Authorized Business Buyer Advocate ®, showed me his integrity and his best-of-the-best capability.
