Portland, OR – June 13 – Prolific author and sought after conference speaker, Richard C. Wilson, is the founder and Managing Director of Programs at BusinessTraining.com and the Global Training & Certification Institute (G.C.T. Institute).  Wilson, a marketing and capital raising expert, established the G.C.T. Institute to provide practical online training and certification programs for niche professions and industries so that teams or individual professionals may learn only what is relevant and practical instead of traditional and generic.  Wilson has a Bachelor Degree in Business Administration from Oregon State University, an MBA in Marketing from the University of Portland, and he has completed Masters level research and coursework on the Psychology of Influence at Harvard University within their ALM Department.

Wilson began giving away consulting-quality advice online in the form of whitepapers, videos, articles, and blog posts.  Eventually his hedge fund blog was getting over ten-thousand hits per day and he would receive over three-hundred e-mails per day from blog readers.  This led to press interviews and within six months he was asked to speak at the European Business Summit where the President of Coca-Cola Europe and the Prime Minister of Czech Republic were also speaking.  This beginning led to the establishment of his now world-wide educational program, BusinessTraining.com.

Wilson has taken his message to a world-wide audience speaking in over twenty different countries.  He traveled nearly 175,000 miles last year speaking in various cities around the world.  He has also been a featured guest on the Brian Tracy Show.  Wilson is the author of ten books.  He wrote his first book, Rain Maker, at the age of twenty-two.  His most popular books include, Speed of Implementation, The Marketer’s Bible, and The Hedge Fund Book.  He anticipates the release of two more books this year, The Family Office Book: Investing Capital for the Ultra-Affluent, to be released in August and another book on hedge funds to be released later in the year.

Because of Wilson’s innovative entrepreneurship and his contribution to his industry, he will be featured as one of America’s Premier Experts and Trendsetters in an upcoming edition of Inc Magazine.  Additional information about Wilson, the Global Training & Certification Institute, and BusinessTraining.com is available at www.businesstraining.com, www.TrainingandCertifications.com, and www.CEOTraining.com or by calling the G.T.C.
