Don Barden The Secret Behind the World’s Elite Leaders

Don Barden

Don Barden is the CEO and owner of The Perfect Plan, a company specializing in professional training and coaching. Classically trained as an economist, he’s now an author, speaker, advisor, and corporate executive. With his body of work backing him up, he is sought after by the some of the most successful businesses.

“If people are as predictable as we think they are—and they are—, then how can we use our knowledge to make it a better world out there?” – Don Barden

Don Barden – An Army Brat

Previously part of the occupational forces, Don’s father joined the military. This had Don’s growing up around the army mostly stationed in Fort Benning and Fort Knox. His father applied his learnings from being part of the armed forces in raising him, so Don considers the armed forces as a huge part of his life.

Don also came of age in the draft era and barely missed enlistment. He says he owes his success today to the army’s influence. He continues to be a strong supporter of the US Army 1st Ranger Battalion based in Savannah Georgia.

The Challenge in Transition

As Don became older, the awareness of how difficult it truly is to transition after service dawned on him. Even when he became eligible to be part of the forces, his friends’ experiences, along with his father’s words of encouragement to take a different path pushed him to become what he is today.

He continued his education and trained to become an economist. Despite this deviation from what he grew up knowing, Don has always had in mind the commitment to help veterans who are struggling with their transition.

“My being was based around that at an early age. I was groomed to do this.” – Don Barden

Picking Apart the Elites’ Strategies

His many corporate endeavors have enabled Don to explore the world and the many parallels and similarities across different countries and cultures. Perhaps most impactful of his discoveries are the elites’ strategies, thought processes, and what they do that set them apart from everyone else.

With the findings included in a published book that has sold worldwide, he’s been able to plant seeds and help people from all walks of life, including the elites.

“My life’s a little unique, but it’s all nailed back to saying how we can take these incredible resources, the academic capital that we got, and turn it back to helping folks be the best they can be, especially veterans and their families.” – Don Barden
