Topic:    Spirituality in business is the hottest topic in the business world today.  Most business experts agree that lasting personal happiness and sustained wealth will come from the application of spiritual business principles.  Noted business speaker David Snyder, author of the critically acclaimed book, How To Mind Read Your Customers, brings these principles to life in a stirring and life-changing day of pivotal lessons, uplifting stories and specific business strategies gleaned from the experiences David has had in interacting and collaborating with inspiring business leaders around the nation as he continues to travel as a strategic consultant and speaker.

The Principles:

G--God.  The word God is no longer taboo in business circles.  As a matter of fact, many successful business people say that despite your belief system, it is always best to make God a part of your business and that your business will never be as successful as it can be without God's guidance and advice.  Why ignore the creator of the universe if it is true that God also wants to help you build your own galaxy of success?  Don't be afraid to tap into the wisdom of the loving creator who hung the stars above your head.
  

I--Inspiration.   Many people fail to realize their own potential or their best inspirations.  It is essential to nurture your originality and creativity--even pamper it when necessary.  Never let other people scoff at your ideas, and do not let the ideas that excite you go to waste.  Excitement is from God.  You simply have to learn to focus it.    If anyone has ever called you crazy, feel blessed.  "Normal" people seldom ever get rich. 

V--Vitality.  Once you have decided to follow your dreams, despite the criticism of naysayers, nags, jealous people and doomsday prophets, you need to build your physical and mental strength.   Use spiritual principles to stop worrying or having any anxiety.  Worry zaps 90 percent of our strength.   Just don't do it.  Listen to your heart.  Pray.  Exercise.  Ignore the critical judgments of most human beings unless you know them to be a saint or a genius.  Have them tested first to make sure.  Give generously to yourself.  Enjoy each day.  Do something nice for yourself each day even if no one else does and thank God for it.

I--Integrity.  Integrity equals innocence.  Just never do anything that you don't think God would be proud of.  If you do your best to behave this way, and always put the other person's interests first, you will always be right.   If you act this way and people still criticize you, just laugh and go about your business and pray that God might help them.

N--Neutrality.  Try to keep a neutral mind about everything.   Never allow yourself to get angry.   Never take things personally.   Always remember that human beings are rarely in a position to judge anyone else's behavior accurately.  Always remember that "Superior People are Persistently Kind and leave the Rest Up To God."

G--Generosity.   Give generously to others and give generously to your own dreams.  Don't be afraid to help people for free.  It will come back to you tenfold.

Specific Business Skill Set Training:

* Where to Invest.    Invest in yourself.   Limit your expenses to specific business needs. Useless purchase of overly expensive and unnecessary material goods does not indicate a future millionaire.  Investing in other companies is fine for a hobby, but remember, when you invest in your own ideas, you keep everything that's not taxable.  That beats Wall Street every time.

* Product and Service Development, Marketing, and Management.
It's all about simplicity.  Drawn from his highly acclaimed American Management Association book on the psychology of sales, marketing and customer service, David Snyder will show you exactly how top performing small companies define their market niche, plan their marketing, develop content, write proposals, and advertise on a shoe-string.  You will learn the entire development to marketing process.

* Basic techniques of advanced selling.  It's all about naturalness.  Believe it or not but people like to give money to nice people.  Why not take some of it.  There's a lot of it out there.   Also, based on Snyder's forthcoming book, How to Mind Read Your Customers, this seminar will give you the basic rules of salesmanship fast.

*   Networking.  Where does this expression come from?  Originally, it referred to fishermen working their nets, casting wide to maximize their chances for catching fish.  Now with the world wide web and the easy use of the "Net" it is easy to see how working your nets takes on a whole new meaning.  Learn how to create the mushroom effect in your business to gather more word of mouth marketing.  How to get other people to help you build your network for free.  The best strategies for beginners to begin creating and managing their network.

*   Managing Fear.   God knows no fear and desires for you to be fearless as well.  Arrogant self-important blowhards will try to frighten you like Goliath.   You will learn how to laugh at them and shoo them away with the stone of self-confidence.

*   Reality Check Maintenance.   You probably have more money than your high-spending neighbor.  Try to stay that way. Always remember that most real millionaires dress so that you would never know.  Many of them drive used cars and buy their clothes from K-Mart.  On the contrary, more than 70 percent of some people living in "gated communities" are on the verge of bankruptcy.  Ever driven by fancy neighborhoods and wondered where all the money comes from?  The bank.  And they're still charging 18 percent whether you can afford to pay or not.

* And finally, you will learn the basics of DEDICATION:

Dedication:
How Winners Make Their Dreams Come True

D:	Determination.  Realize that God did not create you for no reason.  You probably already know in your heart what you were born to do.  Stop disbelieving that you can do it.   Admit that God has been waiting for you to ask His help.
E.	Enthusiasm.  Be enthusiastic about yourself and others.  The more time you spend showing appreciation and enthusiasm for others, the more you will learn to appreciate yourself.  This is vital.
D.	Development.  Don't worry about the finish line.  First and foremost, you must enjoy the race.  You must take joy in the small steps you make towards your goal.  Like a concert violinist, you must enjoy the small daily tasks of practicing your scales.  Carnegie Hall will come eventually but only if you love the process and love the daily work to get there.
I.	Interest.   Never waste your life doing things you are not interested in.  If you aren't interested in your job, quit and find one that does, or invent your own.  You should look forward to getting up in the morning just to start working again.  If you don't, you must find another path.
C.	Confidence and Carefulness.   There is no reason for you not to be confident if you remember the gifts God has given you.  But give great carefulness to the practice of your craft.   Great gifts demand great practice.
A.	Action and accuracy.  Always plan your actions carefully.  Never take on more than you can handle.  Set reasonable goals and when you have finished, relax.
T.	Time.   It is wrong not to invest a least a little time each day towards fulfilling your dreams and talents.  You must give time to your talents.  It is your obligation to God, who is patiently waiting to help you.
I.	Intelligence.  Never let anyone undermine your belief in your own intelligence.  Your mind is a miracle of God.  Do something every day to expand it.  Stay away from junk magazines, sensational newspapers and TV.  Study meaningful works.  Avoid worldly gossip and media hype.  It pollutes the mind, creates envy and confuses our values.
O.	Opportunity.    Never lose an opportunity to show the world what you learned this week.  Small opportunities always lead to bigger ones.
N.	Naturalness.  Always be yourself and people will love you. Never conform to any human expectations.  The only person you need to please is God--and by doing so, you will please yourself and the people who count.  And you will become enormously happy and successful.
