Create Order Out Of Chaos™ — Lead Your Business Like a Military Commander

Cut through overwhelm and analysis paralysis with battle-tested leadership tactics that help you confidently cross the start line and command your business success.

OR LET ME REPHRASE THAT...

You’re a mission-driven professional feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and terrified to take the leap into self-employment or true business ownership. You’ve tried endless courses and consumed heaps of advice but can’t find a clear, tactical path to launch, sell, and grow. Every decision feels like a high-stakes battle. You want to be sure before committing, but in our current business environment, like war, hesitation often means defeat.

What if you could learn to lead your business like a commander, leading through chaos — with discipline, decisiveness, and a proven battle plan?


I’m Major (Ret’d) Brian Bartley, blending decades of Canadian Infantry leadership with business savvy to help professionals like you break free from fear and confusion.


My Advance-to-Contact leadership system is a military-honed, tactical framework adapted to today’s chaotic business battlefield — empowering you to pivot fast, make sharp decisions, and overcome the core objections that hold most entrepreneurs back.

It begins with the FREE Military Appreciation Guide, a pre-requisite for my 90 minute live workshop built on the adult learning paradigm NOBODY GOES TO LUNCH UNTIL THEY DO WHAT WAS TAUGHT.

No academic study. That you do on your own time, working with the tools of the Military Appreciation to familiarize yourself with the process by applying it to one or more business problems you are facing before attending the Workshop.

In the Workshop, you will USE those tools, in small groups, to wrestle with a scenario, under time pressure, to develop a concise AIM, weigh the FACTORS involved in making a decision, develop COURSES of action, decide on a best path and make a PLAN, then draw up instructions to achieve your objective. This is the same process we use in the Military, from Section Commander, to Platoon Commander, to Company Commander, to Combat Team Commander, to the highest level of Field Command.

Here's The Problem...

YOU KNOW THAT IN ORDER TO LAUNCH YOUR BUSINESS YOU NEED TO ACTUALLY CROSS THE START LINE, BUT SELF-DOUBT HAS BEEN HOLDING YOU BACK.

You are constantly wondering if what you are doing is actually going to work, and are second guessing yourself.

  • Anxious, overwhelmed, and stuck in analysis paralysis loops.

  • Confused and frustrated by your lack of progress despite all of your efforts.

  • Fearful of rejection and failure, with low confidence to launch, present or SELL.

Now For One-Minute Imagine This...

WHAT IF YOU HAD A PROVEN SYSTEM THAT GIVES YOU CLEAR, TACTICAL STEPS TO ACTUALLY LAUNCH, SELL AND GROW?

And you could:

  • Lead like a Commander - decisively, confidently, and with a proven battle plan?

  • Break free from fear, cut through information overload, and turn motivation into disciplined action that moves your business forward, even in chaos?

  • Cross the Start Line , and actually LAUNCH your business?

The Military Appreciation Workshop

This step-by-step mini-course will build your base to move forward with confidence. This recconnaissance, planning and preparatory stage is the beginning. It includes any necessary movement, administrative preparations, and the giving of orders to your team as to what exactly they are to do, and how to do it. It puts everyone in the picture, and culminates with the Crossing of the Start Line. What happens next, the ADVANCE TO CONTACT phase deals with what you encounter then, and how to adapt appropriately to achieve your objective. It is the subject of the next course. This one is the PRE-REQUISITE for that.

WHAT MAKES THIS WORKSHOP DIFFERENT?

This Workshop is based on the Adult Education Paradigm - Nobody goes to lunch until they DO what is taught. Adults do not need to be read to. They can read what is on a screen quicker than the presenter can say it. Presenter's comments should amplify, not duplicate what the participants can read. Preparatory material can be read before the Workshop, not during it, allowing more time to be spent in small group interaction to engage with the material. Plenary sessions can confirm understanding. The 90 minute timeframe will allow one hour to engage ... twice the amount of time a trained Combat Team Commander has to assess a situation and take appropriate action. Facility comes with practice.

You May have some questions...

AND I HAVE THE ANSWERS!

How do I know you can help me?

I have walked in your shoes, and used what I learned in the Military to achieve my goals and objectives in the corporate world, self-employment, the Church as a late vocation. Read about my qualifications here:

Who is this for, exactly?

This is for you if you are a Gen X, Boomer, or Millenial Professional, Executive or Educator burnt out from the demands of your job and seeking self-employment to control your own destiny, or tired of side-hustle overwhelm and feeling stuck in endless analysis and content consumption but never launching or selling. Fear of rejection and failure keeps you immobilized, making every decision feel like life or death. You want a step-by-step tactical framework rooted in real leadership - not hype or fluff. You dream of owning your own time, income and impact while staying connected to your community.

What transformation do you offer?

I do NOT offer a MAGIC BULLET solution. You know from struggling with your situation that there is no easy answer to your problem or you would have found it long ago. BUT there is a do-able solution - a step-by-step, tactical framework to get you there. My program, Business Success by Advance-to-Contact Leadership, will get your Business Launched across the Start Line, and moving forward to achieve your goals and objectives. Getting clear on your Aim, the Factors you will face in achieving it, the potential courses of action available to you, Deciding on one course and making a Plan is something you have to do to be successful. Without clarity in that, any road will take you there, but the THERE may NOT be where you intended to go. This workshop will provide that. The other offerings in my System focus on what happens after you launch. Plans rarely survive the first contact. Because our business environment is fast-paced, chaotic and rapidly changing it is important to be able to adjust and respond appropriately to keep moving forward. The Advance-to-Contact Course provides those skills. Graduates of that program will be invited to join The Officer's Mess, a Membership community, that will provide ongoing leadership mentoring, and peer support so you never lead alone. It ALL begins with The Appreciation Workshop - the foundation of everything else.

I'm not sure, can I join later?

You can, maybe. But how much more time will you lose in getting your business launched? Time is money. You haven't launched yet, or you would not have read this far, Lost time cannot be recovered or recreated. There is only a finite amount of time. Once past it is gone forever, and with it any opportunities it may have held. It is a geometrical growth curve. The more time you have, the greater the compounding effect. The less time you have, the lower the total return. In our contemporary business situation, the new paradigm is FAIL EARLY AND PIVOT. Dont keep pursuing a non-productive strategy. That is why my Business Success by Advance to Contact Leadership program is organized into stages - a FREE Appreciation Guide you can test to see if my approach can work for you, a 90 minute Workshop to work with the tools and develop a Launch Plan, a Full Course addressing how to get from Launch to Success, and a post-graduate Membership for ongoing support. At each step there is an exit ramp. You are not committing to a lengthy ongoing program you are unsure about. AND the 1/3 discount for early registration is only offered 10 days of the registration period. It may not be offered again.
