The best-selling seminar for entrepreneurs is back! Whether you’re a fledgling entrepreneur or a seasoned business owner — or still thinking of becoming your own boss — you need to know what differentiates the 5% of successful entrepreneurs from the 95% that fail!

Learn how to become one of the 5% of entrepreneurs who succeed!

[ANNOUNCEMENT: The “Disciplines of Breakthrough Entrepreneurs” seminar has been moved from November 20, 2010 to February 2011. Exact date to be announced. However, you can continue to sign up and avail of the super saver rate of P2,495!]

Close to 9 out of 10 start-ups fail in their first year. Of those that survive, only half make it past five years. That’s just 5% that breaks through the odds. The rest break up too soon.

What makes some entrepreneurs more successful than others? What disciplines do they do that let them achieve a breakthrough and take their business to the next level?

What does it mean to be a breakthrough entrepreneur? First let’s define what “breakthrough” means, according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary:

break•through
Pronunciation: \’brāk-‘thrü\
Function: noun
1: an offensive thrust that penetrates and carries beyond a defensive line in warfare
2: an act or instance of breaking through an obstacle <a breakthrough agreement>
3a: a sudden advance especially in knowledge or technique <a medical breakthrough> b: a person’s first notable success <a breakthrough novel>

So in other words, a breakthrough entrepreneur is one who has penetrated or overcome an obstacle – in this case overwhelming odds of failure! – and has achieved a sudden advance or a notable success in his or her business. Do you want to be a breakthrough entrepreneur?

Attend the 2nd Disciplines of Breakthrough Entrepreneurs with the country’s #1 speaker Francis J. Kong, himself a highly successful entrepreneur, who will share insights on how you can achieve a breakthrough in your business. This is happening on November 20, 2010, 1:00-6:00pm February 2011 (exact date and venue to be announced)

DEAR ENTREPRENEUR:

If you are a…

  • new entrepreneur with a fledgling start-up…who wants to avoid the fate of majority of new businesses
  • veteran business owner running a small- or medium-sized enterprise (SME)…who dreams of finally joining the big leagues
  • self-employed professional, like a doctor, lawyer, CPA, or architect…who plans to expand your practice
  • serial entrepreneur already on your nth start-up…who needs to focus on a business you can really grow
  • small office or home office (SOHO) entrepreneur…interested in increasing profits while still staying small
  • employed individual…who is planning to start your own business
  • employed executive or manager…who wants to have an entrepreneurial mindset

…this is the seminar for you!

DO YOU WANT TO…

  • Avoid the fate of almost 9 out of 10 failed businesses
  • Take your business to the next level of growth
  • Increase your profits without over-extending yourself
  • Make your business work for you, not the other way around
  • Develop traits and habits that will help you grow as a person and business owner
  • Enjoy the kind of lifestyle you want as an entrepreneur

So why should you attend?

There are other seminars for entrepreneurs out there. So why should you attend ours? Simple. Here are 3 compelling reasons:

Reason #1. It features Francis J. Kong.

  • Undoubtedly the #1 speaker in the country today, Francis Kong is a master presenter and teacher, able to educate and entertain audiences here and abroad. You don’t get a second-rate or an up-and-coming speaker, but the best of the best.
  • Francis is also a consummate entrepreneur. Having started successful businesses in the manufacturing, retail, and services sectors, he knows what he’s talking about and he has proven himself as a business owner. What he will teach you is based not on theory but on real-world experience.
  • This is the seminar where you’ll hear him talk about entrepreneurship. Francis talks on a lot of topics. When he speaks publicly on leadership, personal excellence, or marketing he does those with other seminar companies and non-profit organizations. But when he talks about entrepreneurship in a public seminar, he does it with us. The Disciplines of Breakthrough Entrepreneurs seminar is his platform for sharing his insights and experiences on entrepreneurship.

Reason #2. It includes a panel of very successful entrepreneurs.

  • What if you learn not from just one, not two, three, but four business owners from different sectors? Our seminar will blow your mind with their rich collective experience coming from diverse perspectives. How often can you get them together in one venue? Very, very rarely, if at all.
  • And since it’s an interactive panel discussion, you also get to ask them directly how they did it. Don’t settle for vague, motherhood statements. Challenge them to give specific strategies and insider secrets. This is how you get real value from our seminar.

Reason #3. You can network with other entrepreneurs.

  • Why are live events like this seminar so powerful? After all, you can just read books and e-books and listen to audio books to learn about the secrets of successful entrepreneurs. That’s fine but being at a live event has two important advantages. You get to watch, meet, and talk directly to our speaker and panelists. Go ahead and ask them out for lunch and pick their brains (Francis will encourage you to do just that!).
  • The other thing is you’re learning along with other business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs. It’s a shared experience, like enjoying a great movie at a cinema or listening to your favorite band at a live concert.
  • Plus, you get to meet new people, potential partners, and possible vendors and clients. Sure you can get that from other seminars. But what we can assure you is the quality of attendees we attract: smart and motivated individuals dedicated to investing in their own entrepreneurial education and personal development.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

Francis J. Kong will share 10 disciplines – practices and habits – that separate successful entrepreneurs from the struggling ones. He will teach not just the WHAT but the WHY and the HOW. These are the 10 Disciplines of Breakthrough Entrepreneurs:

Discipline #1: Breakthrough Entrepreneurs have a junkyard dog mentality. Are you persistent with your business? Or are you easily shaken and give up quickly? Breakthrough entrepreneurs are like junkyard dogs — they are tenacious and hang on no matter what because they are focused on their goals.

Discipline # 2: Breakthrough Entrepreneurs are committed to devote their time and energy on their idea. Do you make time in your day or week threshing out your ideas that have potential? Breakthrough entrepreneurs put in time and effort into bringing your ideas to fruition.

Discipline #3: Breakthrough entrepreneurs like working with people. Do you enjoy working with other people or would you rather work alone? Breakthrough entrepreneurs like working with people and dealing with all sorts of personalities.

Discipline #4: Breakthrough entrepreneurs focus on the solution, not on the problem. If there’s a problem, do you spend time finger pointing or fault finding? Breakthrough entrepreneurs acknowledge the problem, quickly identity the cause, and move on to finding a solution.

Discipline #5: Breakthrough entrepreneurs are willing to share the pie with others. Are you a believer in winner-take-all and zero-sum games? Or do you believe in win-win and are willing share the pie with others? Breakthrough entrepreneurs  are big on having strategic partners and generous incentives to employees.

Discipline #6: Breakthrough entrepreneurs are always itching for something new. Are you content with what you’ve accomplished? Or do you keep trying to shake things up? Breakthrough entrepreneurs are always experimenting and trying new things.

Discipline #7: Breakthrough entrepreneurs are innovators. Do you believe in the adage “don’t fix it if it ain’t broken?” Or do you enjoy experimenting and doing something different? Breakthrough entrepreneurs are creative and innovative in their business approach.

Discipline #8: Breakthrough entrepreneurs have adequate backup resources. When you start a business or launch a new product or project, do you go “all in?” Or do you have adequate resources in case something goes wrong? Breakthrough entrepreneurs always make sure they have a Plan B.

Discipline #9: Breakthrough entrepreneurs are lifetime learners. Do you think training and investing in learning is a waste of time and money? Are are you always learning new things? Breakthrough entrepreneurs are open to new ideas, knowledge, and information — and are willing to invest in learning.https://iluvlearning.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=540&action=edit

Discipline #10: Breakthrough entrepreneurs know and live out their winning business philosophy. Is money all there is to it for your business? Or do you consider your business also in terms of your purpose? Breakthrough entrepreneurs serve a cause higher than themselves.
