Optometry Business Consultant Ben Pritchett recently hit four Amazon.com best-seller lists with the new book, “Stand Apart.”

Swan River, Manitoba, Canada – January 31, 2014 – Entrepreneur and business consultant, Ben Pritchett, recently joined best-selling author and marketing expert, Dan Kennedy, along with a select group of the world’s leading experts to co-write the book titled, Stand Apart: Stand Out Strategies from Today’s Leading Entrepreneurs and Professionals to Help You Achieve Health, Wealth, & Success. The book was released on January 16, 2014 by CelebrityPress™ – a leading business book publisher.

CelebrityPress™ describes the book: “The people who stand apart in the New Economy are not the ‘same old, same old.’ Stand Apart is a compilation of practical advice from authors all around the world. You can read for yourself the way that the Celebrity Experts® in this book, led by Dan Kennedy, stand apart. These are people who willingly share their knowledge and will guide and coach you to success in their fields. They have accomplished their goals and…stand apart!” Ben Pritchett contributed a chapter titled “Seeing Is Believing.”

On the day of release, Stand Apart reached best-seller status in four Amazon.com categories – reaching as high as #2 in the “Direct Marketing” category.  The book also reached best-seller status in the following categories: “Sales and Selling,” “Marketing” and “Entrepreneurship.”

Ben Pritchett describes himself as a serial entrepreneur, consultant and business philosopher who is likely otherwise unemployable.  He has a strong independent streak, loves breaking the rules (especially when it leads to greater success for himself and his clients) and hates wearing ties, so you’ll rarely find him wearing one! His main consulting strengths involve finance, marketing and business systemization.  He also has a keen interest in copywriting, and would probably spend most of his time doing that if his other services weren’t keeping him so busy all of the time.  He’s also shown a knack for finding the hidden assets in a business and helping its owners to maximize opportunities that were under their noses all along.

Ben is currently putting the finishing touches on a specialized coaching program for optometrists, but says that it can be used by any entrepreneur wanting to grow their business with less stress along the way. For entrepreneurs happy to learn on their own, Ben and his partners operate a website offering an automatic 52-week training program for business growth at www.advantagebizconsulting.com, along with www.advantagebizstartup.com which has training specifically aimed people just getting into business.

After such a successful release, Ben Pritchett will be recognized by The National Academy of Best-Selling Authors™, an organization that honors authors from many of the leading independent best-seller lists.

About Ben Pritchett:

Ben Pritchett was born and raised in Gander, Newfoundland where he started his first business at the age of 15, and began his own consulting firm in 1991.  For over two decades he has worked with clients in many industries from all over Canada.

Before his involvement in the optometry industry, he worked with clients in industries ranging from restaurants and vacuum cleaner sales to software development and tourism, not to mention dimension stone (granite quarrying and manufacturing) and aviation, and a few others.

Through his varied career he spent a couple of years teaching business management at a private college, owned a business brokerage, a specialty computer company and a sales training business.  While not everything was a raging success, he learned a lot about business – both good and bad – along the way.  Ben says, “When things come too easily, you really don’t learn much, so appreciate tough times for their learning opportunities, otherwise your time and money was wasted.”

Ben’s a life-long learner who has plans for a 6,000 book library in his new house (there are already 3,000 in his collection).  He tries to attend two to four National business events every year in order to keep up with what’s working for other businesses, in other industries, all over the world, and believes that you’re moving backwards if you aren’t constantly learning.
