About Rick Butts

In 2005, while in the top 5% of speakers in the National Speakers Association at $10,000 for a 1 hour keynote speech - Rick walked away from the speaking business and constant travel - to focus on his growing Internet marketing business.

For the last year Rick has blogged occasionally on RickButts.com while creating under the radar non-internet marketing niche sites - and consulting with some of the most well known names in the industry.

With a gift for teaching, training, facilitating group mastermind meetings, motivation, and a remarkable ability to take any marketing challenge and come up with an entire solution and strategy (along with names and sequence) - Rick is an undisputed power resource for anyone wanting to take their business and their lives to the maximum!
