The Five Friends Business Summit

You probably have seen the 5 Friends Insights on Business and Life videos.

Now they bring you the Five Friends Business Summit on November 2-3, 2016 in Las Vegas, Nevada. At this business summit you will receive the same high-level, intensive content usually reserved to the Fortune 500 clients of the Five Friends.

The Five best-selling authors, Speaker Hall of Fame recipients, internationally-acclaimed business consultants and best buddies are:

Joe Calloway is an expert on branding and competitive positioning and the author of Becoming A Category of One, Be The Best At What Matters Most and the Unlocking Maximum Potential blog.

Scott McKain is an authority how organizations create distinction and author of Create Distinction, 7 Tenets of Taxi Terry and the Create Distinction blog.

Mark Sanborn is an expert on leadership, team building, customer service and change. He is the author of The Fred Factor, You Don’t Need a Title to be a Leader, The Encore Effect, and hosts a leadership blog.

Larry Winget is the “Pitbull of Personal Development.” He is the author of Shut Up, Stop Whining & Get A Life, You’re Broke Because You Want To Be, Your Kids Are Your Own Fault and Larry’s Blog.

Together they will cover:

• What are You Willing to Do to Get What You Want? led by Larry Winget

• How Simplicity and Focus Can Create Customers and Grow Your Business led by Joe Calloway
• The Four Steps Required to Create Distinction in Your Marketplace led by Scott McKain
• Turn Intention into Action: Making Changes and Building Your Culture led by Randy Pennington

I’ve seen them all in person and I know any one of them would be worth the price of admission, but all five is a real bargain. Leverage it for your own success.

The History of the Fourth of July

Forbes magazine has an interesting and short piece of the origins of the 4th of July. Apparently John Adams was all set for the 2nd of July. But, as writer Mark Lewis points out, "The heavy lifting had been done on July 2, but July 4 would get the glory."

Happy Fourth of July!
