After a career in advertising sales, Barnett started several businesses including a commercial debt brokerage house.  Helping to finance small and medium-sized businesses led to the field of business brokerage.  Over several years, Barnett sold dozens of businesses for others while also managing his own portfolio of income properties and starting his career as a local private investor.

Barnett regularly consults with professionals and banks on business and asset values.  Presently he also works with entrepreneurs and would-be entrepreneurs around the world who are buying, selling or trying to improve their businesses.  He's the author of 7 books on the topic which are available on Amazon including: Invest Local, Franchise Warnings, How to Sell My Own Business, Smarter than a Startup, 21 Stupid Things People Do when Trying to Buy a Business and others.
