Business success can be a fleeting thing. One moment you’re on top of the world and in a moment, everything can change. I experienced that first hand in 2013. At the time, I had a successful real estate company and then lost it all. I could have chosen to ride off quietly into the sunset, but instead I chose to dust myself off and get back to business.

Today I’m busy sharing the lessons I learned along the way through books and speaking engagements. It turns out my experiences can help businesses teach their employees to make better decisions. The foundation of my philosophy in life came directly from my parents. They taught me to always remain positive and expect to succeed.

When you expect success it becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy. There’s no substitute for hard work, but with the right focus and determination, that isn’t an issue. I never lost my drive to succeed even in the worst moments. There are some simple reasons why my story can help make employees more productive.

Increased Production

Every business owner wants the opportunity to triple their production, but not many know how to do it. There aren’t any guarantees in business or life, but my program gives businesses a strong foundation to achieve this type of growth. I do this by sharing my experiences without reservations. I don’t sugar coat things.

In school, there are teachers that give students plenty of breaks. That might be great for helping with their self-esteem, but it won’t help them succeed in business. A better approach is to teach students to recognize where they went wrong and embrace it. Then they can learn from it and move on.

Apply Simple Principles for Success

In business, we’re often looking for that next big thing that will make our own business a resounding success. The elusive Holy Grail of business doesn’t really exist. The difference between a successful business and a failure is a positive corporate culture and employees that believe in it. This sounds so simple, but it’s amazing how many businesses fail to apply such simple principles that can turn their business around.

Taking Responsibility is Hard Work

Mistakes happen. That’s a simple fact. Convincing employees to own up to them, even if they’re big ones, isn’t an easy task. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try.

Businesses that encourage a culture where mistakes are recognized as bumps in the road instead of identifying them as terminal illnesses have a greater chance of success. That’s one of the fundamental parts of my message when a business invites me to speak to its employees. I’ve experienced first-hand both the highs and lows of the business world.
