IGNITER. ENTREPRENEUR. AUTHOR.

CLARITY ATTRACTS. CONFUSION REPELS.

My mission is simple...

To serve as the world’s only Transformational Publisher, helping abundant-minded and coachable-competent entrepreneurs PUBLISH, PROTECT, and PROMOTE their intellectual property, turning their ideas into empires and 18 streams of income so that they can change the world.

Abracadabra means I create as I speak. When you fulfill your calling, you create intellectual property. According to the S&P 500, the most valuable asset of any business is its IP. When you publish, protect, and promote your IP the right way, you create exponential profit, not to mention exponential impact.  

It's my passion to show you a brand new way and open a brand new world. 

You don't protect your ideas when you're big. You become big by protecting your ideasAnd the sooner you take your IP seriously, the sooner people take you seriously.

A note from Kary

You were put on this planet for a reason. You have a BIG purpose. I believe that, because I believe in you. 

A man named Carl Muenzmaier, a stranger at the time, changed my life when I was just 18 years old. He sent me a letter containing $500. The letter said, "God can't afford to have you discouraged. He wants you on his team. God is going to use you in a BIG way. I BELIEVE IN YOU."

That letter woke me up. It inspired me to give the gift of belief to others. I hope our paths cross in the future. In the meantime, be encouraged by two of my favorite quotes:

The most powerful weapon on earth is the human soul on fire. (Ferdinand Foch) The glory of God is a man or woman fully alive. (St. Irenaeus)

I believe in you, 

—Kary Oberbrunner
