Learn to be Outrageously Successful

Speaker and business coach Scott Hunter brings success secrets that can help owners transform their companies

After more than 20 years of working in and observing companies of every type and size, Scott Hunter has noticed a trait all successful firms share.

“They have enthusiastic, confident, optimistic, appreciative and happy people who work together on behalf of a future they have all committed themselves to,” says Hunter, a speaker and business coach who presents a series of seminars at the Pumper & Cleaner Expo in Louisville, Ky. on “The Mindset of Leadership” and “Creating an Outrageously Successful Organization.” His March 2 Education Day program begins at 8 a.m. at the Kentucky Exposition Center.

Hunter, also author of the book, Unshackled Leadership, helps companies transform themselves through his keynote speeches, workshops and retreats. Since 1985, he has worked with hundreds of businesses and more than 250,000 people, helping to produce breakthroughs in personal and professional lives and setting the stage for companies to achieve results far beyond expectations.

All about people

“People who come to the Pumper & Cleaner Expo have a particular expertise, and there is an art and science to what they do,” Hunter says. “But there is also an art and science of how to run a business successfully and profitably, and that’s what many people don’t understand.”

The morning sessions focus on the people skills it takes to be truly successful. “We’ll show attendees how to be a leader, how to build a team, how to inspire and motivate people, and how to have their business be a place where people want to work,” Hunter says. “It’s about listening to people. It’s about caring for people. It’s about being focused on building a team.

“You don’t want to be focused just on making money. You want to be focused on creating that group of enthusiastic, confident, optimistic, appreciative and happy people.”

Mood drives success

The afternoon sessions explore “laws of the universe” that, if obeyed, put a company on the road to outrageous success. “A business is a collection of human beings, and as a result it has a collective energy, or mood, that determines what is possible,” Hunter says.

“Your results are very much a function of not how skilled you are but of the mood of the people in your organization. If the mood is upbeat, enthusiastic, positive and optimistic, and people are all pulling together, you’re going to have great results.

“The Law of Attraction says we attract to ourselves that which is consistent with our predominant mood. So if you go around being frustrated and angry, you’ll attract things that support you in being frustrated and angry. But if you go around being happy, joyous and appreciative, you’ll attract things that support you in being happy, joyous and appreciative.

“Another law says we’ll always find what we go looking for. So if you think life is rotten, guess what — it is! But if you think there are opportunities out there, you’ll start noticing opportunities. Your brain is wired to help you find evidence for what you believe to be true. So why not believe the world is full of great opportunities?”

Hunter says people tend to underestimate their power to influence others. “People will show up around you as who you believe them to be,” he observes. “If I think you are wonderful, then around me you’ll get to be wonderful. You want to think about your employees and customers as being fabulous and wonderful. Look for the gold and the goodness in people and you’ll notice how they show up as wonderful around you.”
