Mark Moses in New York: Overcoming Adversity in Business and in Life

 Overcoming Adversity in Business and in Life: How Do You Plan for the Unplanned? 

Your building catches fire threatening to put you out of business. A key employee (and best man at your wedding) leads a mutiny taking 85% of your employees with him to open a competing business two blocks away. Your four-year old son needs multiple emergency brain surgeries. Overnight, Wall Street pulls out of your market and the entire industry collapses. The business is out of money. The bankruptcy papers are filled out…

What’s YOUR surprise? Is there a train wreck heading right for you and you don’t even know it? As CEO, Mark Moses faced these adversities, turned them into the 10th fastest growing company on the Inc. 500 list and the #1 fastest growing company in Los Angeles. He also managed to sell his company just before the subprime meltdown. Cats aren’t the only ones with 9 lives. Let Mark show you how having 9 lives is a state of mind.

 Learn how to:

1.   Make major decisions under pressure (even brain surgery!)

2.   Plan for the unplanned

3    Recognize when it is “midnight,” Cinderella

4.   Go through bankruptcy without actually “going through it”

5.   Traverse an industry as it implodes

6.   Survive and thrive in spite of massive adversity
