Barnett went from being one of Allen’s best students to being one of his six instructors. Traveling with Allen, Barnett gives intensive 3-day seminars on real-estate investing to more than 100 people just about every weekend, runs a live 90-minute evening teleconference reaching an audience of another 100-plus weekly, and frequently speaks at local real estate clubs and associations around the country. In the midst of his demanding schedule, he wrote a book to share his foolproof wealth-building formula with everyone, ARE YOU DUMB ENOUGH TO BE RICH?: The Amazingly Simple Way to Make Millions in Real Estate (AMACOM; June 24, 2003). “It only takes a small dose of success coupled with a marginal shift in thinking to change your destiny,” writes Barnett.

Before establishing himself as a real estate investor, Barnett was a television producer of a nationally-syndicated program whose story was chronicled in the book The Great Communicators. He also worked as a stockbroker and in the financial services arena of a saving and loan. For fun, he has served as a scout for a major college football bowl game and spent two years on the pit crew of an Indy Racing League Team. Over the course of his career, he has worked alongside or shared the speaking platform with wide-ranging luminaries, including Mark Victor Hansen, Zig Ziglar, Wally “Famous” Amos, Paul Harvey, Art Linkletter, Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, Dr. Robert Schuller, Earl Nightingale, Victor Kiam, and Chili’s founder Norman Brinker.

In addition to his teaching and speaking commitments, Barnett is Director of Acquisitions at CAPSTONE Properties Group. He lives in Fort Worth, Texas, with his trusted partner in buying and selling properties, his wife Kris Barnett.
