CHANGE IS GOOD, YOU GO FIRST
Based on his book of the same name that has sold almost 200,000 copies, Tom’s mantra is that if you don’t like change, you’ll like irrelevance a lot less! One thing for sure is if you give up too soon, you’ll never know what you will be missing. Keep going and never quit. Change what needs changing, not what is easy. Do not try to change the way the game is played, change the game! Don’t be different just to be different, be different to be better. When patterns are broken, new worlds emerge.

He's become one of my dearest friends, and I recommend him completely and unreservedly!”
Dr. Rollan Roberts II, Former CEO of the Hoverboard Company; Institutional Systems Thinking CEO

Tom had a unique way of looking at our business challenges and cutting through to the core of the matter and opened up my eyes as never before.

Since our meeting and following Toms advice my business is growing into new directions, we're making connections in markets never touched before and we will double our business this year.

When you are his friend, you are his friend for life. If you are considering Tom for a speaking engagement or a 2-3 day workshop, don't pursue this course of action unless you are serious about moving your business forward and seeing the reality of where you are, warts and all. One of Tom's key attributes is he'll tell you the truth so be prepared. On the other side of his training or his speech you and your company will be better and wiser for the experience.”
Paul Mangiamele CFE, Chairman and CEO Legendary Restaurant Brands, LLC

At the time, Ident-A-Kid had been around for well over 20 years, but was the best kept secret in franchising and was in desperate need of a brand face-lift. Together, we worked hand-in-hand with the franchisees to create a strategic growth plan that was rolled out to the entire system. The results we achieved were nothing short of phenomenal!! The brand was re-energized, the franchisees were totally excited, and with Tom's help we exceeded our goals on every level. If you are serious about building your brand; you need to discover the secrets of working with Tom. He is... bar none, the best there is!”
Lonnie Helgerson, CFE, Franchise Shark, C-Level Executive, Author, and Speaker

Mike Schechter, General Counsel & Labor Relations Director for AGC-MN
“There is so much to be said for experience, especially when millions of dollars are on the line. When it comes to marketing franchise organizations, especially restaurant chains, Tom Feltenstein is a true champion of innovation. I have seen him in action and joined him in strategic marketing sessions where he has an intuitive way of understanding the issues that keep companies from reaching their full potential. He has his "bag of\ tricks" (established proven tactics he has used through the years) that seems to get bigger and bigger, as he ads email marketing, internet marketing, SEO tactics and social networking to his arsenal. His client list is amazing and a testament to his ability to help organizations realize real growth. Tom has a big personality; I think you have to if you are trying to make big things happen. But those who have taken time to know Tom, know him as someone who stands by his commitments and always ready to lend a hand to those in need.”
Martin Greenbaum, Senior Marketing Strategist | Franchising Marketing Specialist Branding Strategist | Speaker

Luke Andros, Senior Vice President at Goodway Group
“Tom is the father of neighborhood marketing. His ideology over the years, regarding the power of local vs mass media marketing is finally being accepted as gospel in the retail franchisee world. He is an engaging speaker, accomplished strategist and born marketer, as well as one of the most genuine people I know. Read his books, hire him for speaking or strategy-you won't be disappointed!”

“A great read if you are wanting an engaging and inspiring way to create change in those around you. I recommend it!”
John C. Maxwell, leadership expert, author and speaker
“Simple yet pragmatic, this book is more than a list of do’s and don’ts; it is an unforgettable literary experience that will accompany the reader along the path of innovation and entrepreneurial success. These common sense thoughts remind us that…if you stand still…obsolescence will soon follow…”
Jon Luther, Chairman/CEO Dunkin Brands, Retired Chairman, Arby’s Restaurant Group
“Finally, a book about business that transcends the conventional and shopworn focus on profit margins. We get a healthy reminder that a successful business is not just about spreadsheets and numbers; it’s about people; it’s about change and how we deal with it.”
Kevin Dunn, Retired McDonald’s Corporation Division President
UNCOMMON WISDOM: Live a Joyful Life with Financial Success
“…It’s perfect for reading in short takes. Those in the harried, hurried ranks just might feel a chord struck. As you read, you might find a way to become a more effective manager, without feeling that you’ve sacrificed your soul. We face impossible deadlines…We fight competitors who don’t sleep…That ethos has given rise to a new genre of self-help…Uncommon Wisdom.”
USA Today
“I first met Tom when I had him on my television show, Larry King Live, discussing Uncommon Wisdom. This is a book I keep by me a lot. I can turn to any page and get a lot out of it.”
Larry King, television host
“Until now, I always believed that there were some things that just couldn’t be put into words. Tom Feltenstein has changed my mind. He has found a way to reveal little-known secrets about the human condition in such an interesting and provocative manner. This book is not an empty promise. It’s the key to self-transformation.”
Bill Gove, Past President, National Speakers Assn & recipient, “Golden Gavel Award”
“UNCOMMON WISDOM is a fun, refreshing, and imaginative look at common sense and stress-reduction techniques. Extremely readable and thought-provoking, if not inspiring.”
Bill Main, International Business Consultant
“Tom Feltenstein’s book is an important step in returning healthy ethics to the business community. Money is not God, but the financial world surely projects that message. His suggestion is that life’s true wealth is measured in things far more soulful than property, and we had better put them into our life, as a way of life, if the human business community is ever to capture its humanity.”
Patch Adams, M.D.
MARKETING: THE GOOD, THE BAD, THE UGLY-Success, Failure and the Sure Thing 
“I’ve worked with some of the dumbest guys in the world, top guys, in top companies, both large and small. And I’ve watched them make gazillions of dollars, over and over and over again. How could that be? I asked myself. What is it that dumb guys know that I don’t? The answer to that question is in this book.
…And believe it or not, ladies and gentlemen, Tom Feltenstein is about the dumbest guy I know. Enjoy.
Michael Gerber, author, The E-Myth Revisited and 14 other books; known as the “World’s #1 Small Business Guru” per Inc. Magazine
“Tom Feltenstein is either completely, stupendously, stunningly wrong or he is a stone genius whose counter intuitive insights will transform the marketing business. I’m betting on the latter. Read this fascinating book and you’ll likely come to the same conclusion.”
Tucker Carlson, Fox News
“Tom Feltenstein’s latest book is a must read for business owners who want to increase sales and profits inside their four walls and in their immediate trading areas. His hands-on, how-to information is an invaluable resource that eliminates the need for any mass-media advertising. I highly recommend this book if you’re serious about growing your company.”
Ed Rensi, retired former President/CEO, McDonald’s Corporation USA and former COO, McDonald’s Worldwide
“Most marketers are too stuck and too scared to do stuff that really and truly works. If you’re willing to get off your couch and make something happen, this book is the first place to start.”
Seth Godin, bestselling author of THIS IS MARKETING: YOU CAN’T BE SEEN UNTIL YOU LEARN TO SEE, V IS FOR VULNERABLE: LIFE OUTSIDE THE COMFORT ZONE, POKE THE BOX: WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU DID SOMETHING FOR THE FIRST TIME?, PERMISSION MARKETING, UNLEASHING THE IDEA VIRUS, SURVIVAL IS NOT ENOUGH, PURPLE COW and FREE PRIZE INSIDE

Anyone, in any business can take away dozens of money-making ideas and still have leftovers. It truly is a must read for anyone, especially those with limited budgets, who sincerely want to market better, promote better and make a difference in their community.”
