Dr. Mike’s Business Talks

Just Listen To What Brian Tracy – One Of The World’s Most Sought After Speakers On Business and Business Success Has To Say About Dr. Mike…


Hey, It’s No Newsflash…

You all know we’ve been hit hard with some tough economic times. Budgets are tight, resources are limited, employees are nervous and customers are either cranky or just not spending…So what are you going to do about it?

What is your “Success Survival” strategy? Unfortunately, most people are just hunkering down hoping things will pick up soon. Hope is important, but you and I both know that hope is NOT a sound business strategy!

Some business owners think you should just run faster and try harder. Running faster and trying harder is not a winning strategy either. In fact, it’s a surefire way to get you twice as lost, twice as fast! And just having a job, owning a business and having a plan for your business or personal life might not be enough to get over the hump.

Is the current economic situation brutal and difficult and challenging? You bet it is! But there have always been obstacles to growth, success and happiness. While many business people are adopting the hunker down, wait and see approach – Other entrepreneurs and small business owners are experiencing unprecedented growth and extraordinary success, despite the economy.

As the American business house of cards comes crashing down around you…you’ve got a golden opportunity to re-position your business and your products to meet these needs.

And what about all the business failures you read about every day? Not to worry. According to a study by the Bureau of Census study – done for the Office of Advocacy of the American SBA (Small Business Administration) – the hard, cold fact is over a 10-year period from 1992 to 2002, a shocking 71% of businesses failed…regardless of the economy.

Are there businesses succeeding in today’s economy? Oh yes! There has never been a better time to succeed and grow a business.

To paraphrase a famous quote:

The best time to start a business was 50 years ago, the next best time is now.

- Sun Tzu

The question then becomes, if there have always been times like these—what are successful entrepreneurs, business owners, supervisors, managers, employees and “everyday successful people” doing, that you could be doing? How do they think differently? What’s their secret?

Here’s the thing. What you need is the knowledge and proven tools to fight back. To stay strong at a time when others are throwing all caution to the wind. A time when character and ethics are key to sustaining your credibility and the very survival of your professional, personal and family life.

If you don’t have integrity, you have nothing. You can’t buy it. You can have all the money in the world, but if you are nota moral and ethical person. You really have nothing.

- Henry Kravis

In order to thrive in turbulent times, smart business people are not “waiting” for the government or the economy to determine their outcome—they take on the power, control and choice to cause the effect they want. They take control. Savvy people take action.

Dr. Mike BBB Talk

Let’s be honest, almost anyone can succeed in a good economy, but it takes real skill and talent to succeed in a bad economy.

This will come as no surprise to you. During tough times keeping your head on while others around you appear to be losing their minds can mean the difference between failure and success for you and your business. Here’s a fact — More millionaires are born in a tough economy than in a robust one.

You could be just one step away from incredible personal, professional and business success — Just One inspiring idea — Just one powerful principle — Just one significant strategy — Just one timely tip, one timeless truth could empower you to create unlimited opportunities and a myriad of possibilities.

Here’s the BIG question —
How much could this one idea be worth to you personally? How much could it be worth to the success of your business?


“What if” your one idea or different way to think changed everything in your business and your business success? How would that make you feel?


So the other BIG question is —
Will you and your business just survive or will it thrive and succeed during tough times?


So what do you do?

Enter Dr. Mike…

Well guess what, you’re not alone — Over 2 million people worldwide have felt the same way.

Dr. Mike’s program to our hospital employees was outstanding!  The entire audience really enjoyed his presentation.  I have been hearing positive comments all week.  In fact, I have been hearing employees use several of Dr. Mike’s quotes and saying for quite some time now.  That never happens after a speaker has been here.

Your messages offered our employees a choice on how to deal with stress on all levels of life. You made our event a memorable one and one that staff will be talking about for a long time to come.
