Business Thinking for Entrepreneurs/ Techies/Business people/employees - for Business Success
Successful business people are good business thinkers and successful businesses have an abundance of business thinkers. Whether your audience has entrepreneurs, employees, executives or business owners, each of them could become more valuable, get more interesting work and become more successful. Companies can achieve greater success by fostering a culture of business thinking.
Win in Business & Life with the Successful Immigrant Professional’s
Mindset
The mindset of highly successful immigrant professionals – like Elon Musk & Sergey Brin – can help individuals, businesses, organizations and countries become more productive and successful. I have distilled insights from immigrant Nobel Prize winners, CEOs, entrepreneurs, executives, techies and non-techies. I am an immigrant professional who has succeeded and failed with different mindsets.
Transform Your Business with Business Thinking
If you seek to affect change with a group, getting individuals to align with your vision for the business could be challenging. A common reason why transformation efforts fail is the lack of business thinking – clarity of the value provided and received by each individual and several key factors in between. Companies can achieve greater success by fostering a culture of business thinking.
Win in Business & Life by Taming the 'Silent Killers of Success'
Many people fail in business and life because of who they are and what they already have. It is an uncommon perspective from my experiences and the findings of a survey of 320 business people, including 75 multimillionaires. Learn to ‘Win in Business by Taming the Silent Killers of Success’, whether you are an entrepreneur, business owner or an employee in a business.

If any of these opportunities describe what you are looking form, reach out to us to arrange for Ram Iyer speak at your event. He will speak from personal experience (successes AND failures), firsthand research data and insights. You will not hear regurgitated and worn ‘wisdom’ that has failed to reduce the 70% plus failure rate in decades.
Get practical insights from an MIT graduate with engineering and business degrees who has started 5 companies, worked at Boeing and Lucent, been a VC in Silicon Valley, and interviewed billionaires, millionaires and CEO’s across the US, Canada, Europe and Asia. He lost over a million dollars of personal money on a ‘guaranteed to succeed’ business. From his personal successes and failures, Ram Iyer has identified the six pillars for business success (some not addressed with a business school education) and the ‘silent killers of business success’.
* Most entrepreneurs believe the myths and platitudes and “follow the herd” to the 70% failure rate.
* Many never learn to identify and remedy the ‘missing recipe for entrepreneurial success’ or develop the ‘business thinking’ and a ‘business mindset’ necessary for business success.
* Many get into business but never develop the ‘business mindset’ required for sustained success.
* Many get into business but never follow a framework (the ‘six pillars of business success’) to acquire/rid and develop knowledge, skills and mindsets. They end up constantly chasing fads without developing the composite for sustained business success.
Ram has validated his insights by surveying 320 business people including 75 multi-millionaires and others not-as-successful (Cronbach alpha of 0.8 for the statistically inclined). His findings are immediately practical and uncommon common sense.
Ram is a passionate speaker who will educate, entertain and engage the audience.
