Hugh's Story

EVERYONE HAS A LAUNCH BUTTON

Hugh Zaretsky’s came in the aftermath of September 11, 2001.

He moved from corporate technology into real estate investing, entrepreneurship, coaching, education, and professional speaking.

Today, Hugh’s mission is to help people find their own launch button and give them the tools, strategies, technology, and confidence to keep moving forward.

From His Launch Button to Yours

Since making that decision, Hugh has trained and coached thousands of entrepreneurs, business owners, and real estate professionals and .delivered more than 1,350 presentations.

As a two-time bestselling author, entrepreneur, real estate investor, AI solutions builder, coach, and international speaker and trainer, Hugh helps people turn ideas into action, leverage technology, build momentum, and create sustainable success.

Listen to Proven Voices

Focused. Driven. Unmatched.

A Precision Powerhouse

“I have known Hugh for a few years, now. He is a straight shooter who tells you like it is! Hugh speaks from experience and his insights will become your roadmap to doing the exact same thing.”

“Hugh Zaretsky is a true leader who turns vision into action. His experience, insights, and no-nonsense approach make him a trusted guide for anyone looking to achieve real results. Hugh doesn’t just talk about success—he helps you launch it.”

“Anybody who knows me, knows how strongly I believe in the idea of “Shooting Messengers.” My reason for that is that too often there are voices of influence in our lives that are well-meaning but unqualified to be giving advice. I only want the opinions of those who have been where I’m going. Hugh Zaretsky is one of those voices I listen to.”

“Hugh Zaretsky is a powerhouse of focus and determination. His expertise and drive are unmatched, and he knows exactly how to guide you toward success. When Hugh is in your corner, you’re already a step ahead.”

“Hugh is like a heat seeking missile. We are lucky he choose us. His focus and precision drive results, and his expertise ensures no opportunity is missed.”
