John Williamson has been known as "The Wealth Coach" for over 40 years. Indeed it was also one of the trading names of his Public Limited Company.

How did this curious name come about?

It happened like this...

One of John's clients was telling him about friend that he had recently referred to John for advice.

"I was telling him all about you, John... how you're a Chartered Accountant and Financial Adviser, a Chartered Marketer, an Engineer and Industrial Manager, a great Salesman and a prolific business builder, and all that stuff... But, he interrupted me and said, 'What the hell am I going to do with someone like that?'

"I thought for a moment then told him, Forget all that. Just think of him as 'The Wealth Coach'. Tell him what you want to know, or the problem you want solved. Trust me - he'll sort you out.

"See, John, I thought that instead of explaining all that stuff, I'd take it up a level and simplify it. I hope that's OK?"

And, of course, it was fine with John, because it neatly solved a problem. The Clients didn't have to know all John's qualifications and experience...

All they had to know was that whatever their business or wealth creation problems or queries, John could reach into his large and growing armoury of knowledge and experience and pull out solutions for them.

Now let's see why 'The Wealth Coach Ltd.' was formed - and what's in it for you...

John was giving both his sons one of his regular lectures on business and wealth creation, when his youngest son said to him, "Dad. Why don't you just write it all down? Then we can read it when we feel like it."

That was a few years ago, and John has been 'writing it down' ever since.

He decided to 'write it down' in the form of high-quality information products to ensure that his sons would actually read it, listen to it and view it.

You see, not only has John been a 'practical man of business' but he has also studied widely to the highest professional standards. 

As one of the best in the World himself, in several professions, for decades John has mixed with and shared secrets with some of the most elite peers.

This information John has been 'writing down' was never intended for public consumption.

It was only intended to be his legacy to his sons. 

The reason for this exclusivity is that it reveals insider secrets that, in many cases, have taken John decades to discover, then many further years to refine and develop into some of the most powerful business and wealth creation systems and methodologies.

However, John's sons decided that such valuable information should be shared.

They formed The Wealth Coach Ltd. to serve as the primary vehicle to make the information available to you. 

Now, they are just waiting for John to release the 'information products' to them in a publishable format, before they can bring it to you. They are even trying to persuade John to teach a course or two himself.

So, just who is John Williamson, The Wealth Coach? We discuss that next...

John was born in England, in January 1943. He fought his way from childhood poverty to business and professional success.

He started his first business at age 8. Several others followed - including creating his own multi-level marketing operation (this kind of business model didn’t have a name then).

By age 21 John bought and furnished his first house for cash. This was a wedding present for his new wife, Shirley. They have been happily married ever since.

While still in his early teens, John adapted parts of the esoteric side of an ancient family combat and survival system to create his own personal mind-power & success achievement system.

In 1958, John and his father created the concept now known as ‘mind maps’.

Ten years later, in his mid-20’s, John was ‘turning around’ a company called Dynamic Reading Institute – by turning it into a franchise operation.

At the time, John was also teaching high-speed reading and advanced memory training, using his own ‘mind-power’ methods.

He introduced some of his own techniques to the Dynamic Reading course, including his ‘mind-maps’ technique. These techniques were included in ‘the Student Manual’ and the 'Instructor Manual', and taught to the Instructors, who in turn taught them to the students.

One of those students, Tony Buzan, was taught the 'mind-maps' technique by instructor Astrid Andersen. Tony was subsequently invited to join the Dynamic Reading management team.

After John left Dynamic Reading Ltd. - to do a 'turn-around' on the (original) London School of Accountancy - Tony consulted John before he too ‘went off on his own’. Tony has since been prolific in writing books on study techniques, mind-maps, etc.

John was one of the first international instructors in such applied psychology techniques as advanced memory techniques and advanced high-speed reading.

He didn’t just originate and teach many of these techniques, but continuously used and developed his own more esoteric systems and techniques to personally acquire a large array of knowledge and professional qualifications – some of which are listed elsewhere on this website.

The clients John has served and advised over the years have range from the smallest ‘one-man-band’ up to the largest national and multi-national businesses.

They have included many ‘household name’ businesses, including manufacturing, training, retail, and service businesses, insurance and investment companies, pension funds, banks, and professional practices.

These clients have also included many 'high profile' individual clients, including such top professionals as the senior partners of many major Accountancy Practices, directors of banks, TV Stars, International Film Stars, and other ‘celebrities’.

Content to remain anonymously in the background, John has been the ‘secret weapon’ of many very successful people over the last forty-plus years.

John is an experienced ‘business turnaround-man’, but has also personally started, owned, managed and built multiple long-term businesses of all sizes, from sole practitioner and partnerships to groups and multi-national businesses, including a public limited company.

He also Founded, Chaired and held Office in, a number of professional societies and organizations.

In addition to being a successful entrepreneur and ‘business heavyweight’, John is a highly qualified and multi-disciplined professional.

As such, he has been ranked by his professional peers as amongst the best in the UK and the World in several professional disciplines, including accountancy, finance, financial services, sales and marketing.

His friends, clients, protégés and growing international following describe his knowledge as ‘long, deep and wide’.

John has retired twice. The first time at age 37, and again at age 60, when he disposed of ownership and controlling interests in 23+ businesses, which John and his wife, Shirley had built. This included a wide range of business types; professional practices, retail, manufacturing and service businesses and a Public Limited Company.

The Public Limited Company traded successfully for 21 years, before they disposed of their interests it, and they closed another one of their businesses after some 24 years. (N.B. Only 2 per cent of businesses survive for 20 years.)

Over the years, John has acquired a widespread and growing international following. But, he is now principally writing and recording his priceless business and wealth creation wisdom - the lessons learned during his lifetime of experience - for his sons' use.

In 2006, Mitch Meyerson, Jay Conrad-Levinson, and Mark Victor-Hansen somehow talked John into being a co-author of “Guerrilla Marketing On The Front Lines” (published September 2008). This book immediately hit the No. 1 position on Amazon’s Best Seller list.

Working on the Guerrilla Marketing book was a distraction from his prime objective, but John is now back to creating 'information products' for his sons use.

However, as mentioned above, John's sons have decided to share this information with you - and are optimistic they may even manage to persuade John to run a course or two for you himself.
