Bill was never really much of a student. Classes were difficult for him, and sometimes he even had to take them twice, but Kathy convinced him to get his GED, undergraduate degree, and law degree. With degrees in hand, Bill followed his passion to help people in situations like his used to be. He opened a practice for people who needed help but couldn't afford a lawyer.

Bill Bartmann kept the practice going for five years before deciding to enter the real estate business. This is where his financial roller coaster left the station. During the 1970's it was easy to succeed in real estate, so before long, Bill was a millionaire. He did so well that he tried his hand in the oil industry. It went well at first, but when the price of a barrel fell, Bill went bankrupt.

Day after day, Bill and Kathy began getting rude phone calls from collection agencies. They fed themselves and their two children on only one $10,000 credit line, and there was no money to pay the bills. The harsh, degrading treatment he received from collection representatives led him to his next million-dollar idea, a polite debt collection company.

Bill knew from experience that people were generally good and probably wanted to pay, but couldn't. He also knew from experience that yelling at someone and calling them names at 3:00 in the morning wouldn't get a payment made any more quickly, so he decided to ask people politely to send whatever they were able to send. It worked!

Money never really mattered that much to Bill. He has always been the type to follow his heart, which in some cases brought wealth and some cases brought bankruptcy. He never listened to teachers who told him to get a high-paying job. Money doesn't matter if what you're doing doesn't make you happy. Passion, happiness, and success go hand in hand whether money follows or not.

Through it all, Bill has gone bankrupt twice, but he has also been a millionaire three times, and now he's a billionaire. He uses the real-life knowledge he's acquired to help others through his Billionaire Mentor Program. In Bill's program, you'll see things you won't see in other programs, and you won't see things you do see in other programs. Why? Respect.

Bill knows that rich people demand just as much respect as the poor people he helped in his debt collection business. His program isn't a bunch of airy foo-foo and rainbows like many programs are. His materials aren't one-size-fits-all either. Everything you learn is necessary, and everything is on your level. He doesn't try to sell you anything, either. Everything in the program is included in the advertised price.
