The public is demanding answers about who is responsible for our current financial crisis. The Administration? Short sellers? Mortgage lenders? Nobody can say for sure and unfortunately the answers can't be found in the Wall Street Journal or on CNBC. They canft be found in an earnings report or portfolio analysis. The answers lie in people like Jordan Belfort. If we want to ensure that our economic system remains stable in the years to come, it's important that we learn the lessons that people like Jordan Belfort can teach us. In the 90s, nobody flew higher or fell further than he did. And while he might not have caused our financial crisis, he intimately knows the people and the strategies that did.
Who better to teach business ethics to the leaders of tomorrow than a man who had none and ended up paying the price? Who better to preach fiscal responsibility than a man who once spent tens of millions of dollars on a yacht to smuggle money to Switzerland only to watch it sink? But what separates Jordan from so many other fallen financial giants is that he is brutally honest about his mistakes. And now, he's trying to make sure that others don't repeat them by letting people know that having a successful business and behaving ethically are not mutually exclusive.
To be clear, Jordan is more than a cautionary tale. For all that he may have done wrong, he still stands as an example of the transformative qualities of ambition and hard work. In that regard, he is a motivator without peer. I've known Jordan for two years and I've been in his company many times but there is nothing quite like his public speaking.

¡°The Melbourne YPO Chapter was truly blown away at the incredible way in which Jordan handled the evening with our members. His guest appearance was heavily promoted in the weeks prior and he certainly did not disappoint! The genuine enthusiasm he showed towards everyone approaching him prior to the dinner and the extraordinary energy he provided during his presentation was fantastic. Not only was he entertaining, he was incredibly motivating in terms of breaking down the techniques he has developed in engaging people to achieve peak performance and he showed enormous humility at the close of the night when speaking about the learning¡¯s he has from his experiences and his own personal values. Jordan Belfort is truly an extraordinary talent and to see him now dedicating so much of his time and ability to helping others less fortunate is a real inspiration.¡±

Jordan Belfort has spoken at more than twenty of our corporate sales and management meetings dating back as early as 1996. During this time Jordan has played a pivotal role in inspiring and boosting the moral of our international team of distributors.
Jordan's effectiveness stems from his innate ability to inspire people for the long term rather than motivate them for the short term. He reaches deep into the inner psyche and gets you to understand that no matter where you are in life, how hard the road ahead of you may seem, how stacked the odds are against you, that you alone are in control of your destiny. His personal story from humble beginnings to rock star like success sends a powerful message that no obstacle in your life should remain unchallenged, and that your aspirations are not just dreams but are blueprints to your future, achievable through passion and determination.
I've learned the hard way that good motivational speakers tend to be crowd pleasers, making corporate events memorable but having little if any lasting effect. The difference with Jordan's seminars is that we were able to see measurable results through sustained improvements in sales throughout our distributor network. Each of Jordan's seminars was like an adrenaline shot right to heart of our business, which is why we've had him back so often and why I personally recommend him so highly.

Jordan Belfort came to our sales conference in LA on Thursday 16th of July 2009 to talk to the sales team about the importance of setting goals and the key element to success in sales.
The presentation was a magnificent display of key strategic points that any sales team should employ to aid in goal setting and bringing a new way of thinking to the market to create unparalleled success.
Jordan's presence in the room was dynamic, explosive and left the team with a renewed sense of motivation and energy.
I have worked in sales for over 10 years and have never seen someone so knowledgeable and competent in this field. Jordan's ability to engage and train average sales people and turn them into sales guns is clearly demonstrated and I would highly recommend any sales manager looking to take their team to the next level to engage with Jordan Belfort.

Cygnet Capital engaged Jordan Belfort for a private event in Perth during his Australian tour which was for my employees and major clients.
Jordan performed higher than I ever expected. Not only was he very entertaining and great company but his skills to motivate and his strategies for success were very well received by all in attendance.
My company looks forward to seeing him again on his next tour and highly recommends him.

Jordan was an exciting and vibrant speaker. His presence was felt as soon as he takes the stage and all eyes were on him on him as he mesmerised the room, regaling his tales in a no-nonsense, yet most entertaining way. Jordan took the questions straight and answered them openly and honestly - to his credit.
All in all I think it was a good fun lunch, a refreshing change from the norn, which is what I was aiming for.

¡°In the 7 years of running my corporate events business I have never heard such a powerful speaker as Jordan Belfort. Whether it¡¯s a Private Boardroom Luncheon, Exclusive Cocktail party or Large Corporate Seminar Jordan can tailor his delivery and consistently hit the nail on the head!
His stories are unparalleled and his experiences in the corporate world of Wall Street are phenomenal with some very good lessons learnt. I¡¯d recommend Jordan to any sized company in any industry¡±

¡°So long as you have drive, ambition, and are not afraid of hard work, you can achieve anything. Now this is something that most of us believe, but do we really believe it? Is it something that spurs us into action? In a world of pressures ¨C be it stock market, real estate, corporate life or business and information overload, it can be hard to focus on the end game.¡±
¡°Jordan is a man of amazing intellect, passion, drive and above all, amazing communication skill. However his most amazing feat is his power over his own mind. Power over fear, power of ambition, power of belief, power over pre-conceived notions.¡±
¡°I¡¯ve discovered something special about myself, my ability and my ambition. All of this through listening to Jordan Belfort and the Straight Line Strategy. I¡¯m now focused on my end game. Thanks Jordan, I will definitely see you again!¡±

¡°Exceptional... Inspiring... Practical...
A boot camp with Jordan Belfort is like no other sales or motivational seminar I have ever been to before. Jordan is a fantastic communicator, having some idea of his real world credentials and many successes make his message even more exceptional.
Jordan¡¯s high energy presentation and one-on-one interaction works great in the boot camp format. Out of a group comprising of Company Directors, CEOs, business owners, high profile sales people from both Local and International companies, there was not one person who didn¡¯t walk away inspired.
The practicality of Jordan¡¯s Straight Line Strategy method makes it very easy to grasp and implement into almost any situation; in both business and life in general. Breaking the message down to identify key approach, tonality and rapport becomes a simple process when you know what to look for.
I have personally got a lot out of the day and a half with Jordan. We have begun implementing his strategy and techniques into our business with success. I can guarantee that I will be seeing Jordan again and again and again. He is awesome!¡±

"My boot camp experience with Jordan Belfort has given me the biggest shot in the arm that I have had in the last five years. His ability to cut to the chase and say it how it really is has motivated me to make several decisions in the weeks following the Boot Camp that I hope will be life changing. If you are in your comfort zone and wondering how to step up a gear and break out of it then this is for you. Without a doubt the most dynamic and motivating speaker that I have had the benefit of listening to in my working career ¨C I can¡¯t remember being this excited about the future in a long time.¡±

"Warning- If you think your life is "good" and things are fairly comfortable for you then do not attend this boot camp. Jordon Belfort in a day and a half will make you realise that "good" is simply not enough. In fact "great" still isn't enough, how to have an "extraordinary" life is what he will show you.
Through "vision" and "beliefs" and taking "massive action" Jordon will motivate you to achieve your ultimate goals in business and your personal life. What makes this boot camp "extraordinary" is the fact that Jordon is not like the average motivational speaker we have all listened to over the years, he has actually lived the "ultimate extraordinary life". If you are sitting on the fence in any decision in business or in your own life, the "Belfort Boot Camp" will certainly push you off.¡±

"Jordan Belfort is the most engaging and captivating motivational speaker there is, a business legend. The combination of his ¡°Straight Line Strategy¡±, with unparalleled knowledge of business and human behavior, gained from real world experience delivers a self belief to achieve and maintain your ambitions. Regardless of your current situation in business or life, a Boot Camp with ¡°The Wolf¡± will take your mind to a new level, and importantly, keep you a long way ahead of your competitors. Following the lead of Jordan Belfort is anybody¡¯s ticket to a lifetime of success.¡±

¡°With an elite sporting background and 10 years in sales, I have participated in my fair share of sales and motivational training sessions.

¡°Far more than a sales course, Jordan Belfort has inspired me to change not only my approach to business but also at a personal level. I have seen many sales and motivational speakers over the years but this was a truly unique and memorable experience.
Jordan is an exceptional, highly motivated individual who gave 110% in an intense, fully focused course. No topic was out of bounds with Jordan prepared to give completely open and honest responses to a vast range of questions from the wide variety of people attending the course. The diversity of business backgrounds within our group provided for many interesting discussions, which were beneficial for all especially in learning other approaches to doing business.
The wisdom and knowledge of Jordan Belfort was continually demonstrated which gave value add to everyone participating in this very hands on, open forum. It was go, go, go from the start in a small group environment that enabled us all to receive personal attention and get maximum benefit from a remarkable person.
I would not hesitate to recommend this experience to anyone who wants to be truly inspired.¡±

¡°Thank you so much for the experience of the Boot Camp. It was truly inspiring and motivating. I learnt more during the time with Jordan than any book or talk I have read/been to before. The best part about the Boot Camp was the small diverse group we were in and we could ask questions and learn not only from Jordan but from each other. Once again thank you so much for an amazing time with an inspirational person.¡±

"Being involved in Jordan¡¯s Boot Camp last week has unlocked for me the ability to lead a life less ordinary. Extraordinary, excellent and exceptional is where my life is now headed. Value comes in many forms and ¡°The Wolf¡± presents exceptional value in understanding that we can and will change those beliefs that are holding us back.
Strategies are what we are given. A tangible, simple process for those who are prepared to work hard. The ¡°Straight Line¡± process was implemented and produced results immediately. The mindset that I have been left with cannot be described in simple words. Aside from all of that, Jordan is a great bloke! Choose the Boot Camp and choose a life less ordinary.¡±

¡°It would seem that in this day and age, we are constantly selling. Selling a new product, a new service. Trying to get customers to take a larger selection. Persuading a fellow Director to take a different point of view. And who would have thought that the process to achieve all this, the white line on the road which would take us to the promised land would be as equally applicable to convincing my six year old to actually clean his room. It¡¯s called ¡®Straight line Theory¡¯; a process which breaks the ¡®selling process¡¯ down into digestible chunks and teaches even the faint hearted to close a sale like a god. Time and time again, I found Jordan¡¯s ¡®Straight Line Theory¡¯ slotting perfectly into both commercial and personal circumstance and realised not only how much better I could do in the future but how poorly I had done in the past. He was entertaining, evocative, insightful, and frankly, brutally honest and if succeeding is important to you, and it should be, then you cannot miss his sessions. Quite simply, you don¡¯t know what you don¡¯t know and when you realise this, you will grin wildly knowing you have found the key to your dreams. In terms of current commercial activities, I arrived at Jordan¡¯s session hoping that I would succeed and left it knowing that I will¡±.

¡°What an amazing experience, the Jordan Belfort ¡°Straight Line¡± sales course last week. Initially I didn¡¯t think that I would get too much from attending another sales course - but any doubts I had were quickly blown away when ¡°The Wolf¡± got started. I was amazed at how much energy and enthusiasm for the subject Belfort had. His ability to explain the theory with practical examples and at the same time weave in his own personal experiences as ¡°The Wolf of Wall Street¡± made this seminar unique.
I went away from our two days with a comprehensive list of practical things to do - some of which I have already put into place with instant results. Having just started up a new business, the timing for me could not have been better. I also know that the other guys on the course who are veterans in their field found something new and different and were excited about how the ¡°Straight Line¡± approach would change how they did business.
When The Wolf is back in town, make sure you let me know!¡±

¡°After reading ¡®The Wolf of Wall Street¡¯ I knew if I had the chance to meet Jordan Belfort I had to take it. One reason was to simply meet this crazy character that I had read about, but two and more importantly was to meet the business brain that was uncompromising in achieving what he wanted.
I would not even call Jordan a motivational speaker (although he does this in spades), I would call him a truth speaker, his straight line theory is practical, uncomplicated and when used to its full capabilities ¨C unstoppable!
If your goal in life is to achieve greatness then I highly recommend spending a day and a half with Jordan Belfort and his straight line theory.¡±

¡°Jordan Belfort¡¯s day and a half of ¡®Straight Line¡¯ exceeded my expectations, not only from a content perspective but also for his best in class delivery and energy.

¡°My humble upbringing in a busy household taught me the usual don¡¯t ¡®cheat¡¯ or ¡®steal, ¡®respect¡¯ your elders and ¡®love¡¯ thy neighbour etc¡ all of which have served me well. That was until I met Jordan Belfort. Sure, I¡¯d heard of the ¡®Wolf of Wall Street¡¯, but I never thought I would cross paths with someone of his calibre, let alone be given the opportunity to spend a day and half on the ¡°Belfort Boot Camp¡±. ¡°I now realise those much talked about glass ceilings are nothing more than self imposed beliefs, which are the result of some pretty effective ¡®negative programming¡¯. So, the key messages I received are ¡®VISUALISE¡¯ and ¡®BELIEVE¡¯. Not in luck or being at the right place at the right time, but to set goals and ¡®know¡¯ I can take action and achieve them. Jordan has sparked a new ¡®positive program¡¯ in me. Jordan, thanks for ¡®sparking¡¯ that positive change in me.¡±

¡°I have now met and listened to Jordan Belfort on two occasions and on each have learnt much about what to do and what not to do in life with regards to wealth. Jordan is without doubt a self confident and sensational salesman with a message for all of us who sell our selves or our product and listening to him inspires you to improve yourself in this area.¡± ¡°His message of greed and over indulgence is a sombre one, however a great message for young businessmen of today particularly as he talks against himself, which is compelling. I am now reading his books and recommend his lectures to all that aspire to success to learn how and what not to do.¡±

¡°Jordon Belfort surprised me. His history suggests that of a self©\indulged entrepreneur, I found the reality to be quite different.¡± ¡°Jordan is the consummate salesperson who can enrich even those of us who have been selling for years. His message is practical and based on experience not academia. The format of the ¡®boot camp¡¯ also allows participants to reconsider their business or explore alternative opportunities and bounce them off someone who has been there, done that and more importantly doing it again.¡± ¡°Jordon has plenty for everyone from the company principle to the new salesperson. He has my highest recommendation.¡±
