• Grow Your Business During A Recession - “Hey Clay, Thanks for all your help last year, we’ve done a lot of work, reading and investing and the results are truly amazing. Our best staff ever, continuous increases and overall happiness like never before, (and yes more profitable than in years and in a down economy)! I feel like we now have entirely new understanding on the importance of culture in the workplace. Do you have any more books you could recommend? Thanks again Clay!” – Dave Bauer – Owner / Operator – Maytag Appliance Stores

• Increase Your Sales & Your Flow of Prospects - “I had the pleasure of working Mr. Clark in 2010 when I managed over 2.2 million square feet of downtown office and retail space. I can recommend him highly and without reservation. I had hired Mr. Clark to rebrand the portfolio, and to reach out to prospective tenants. Throughout the course of the campaign, Mr. Clark was a consummate professional. He conducted market research, built a web-site, and coordinated obtaining pictures, print materials, and gaining media attention with-in what I would deem record time. With-in the first week of Mr. Clark going public with the campaign, he generated hundreds of prospective tenants.  Mr. Clark’s positive attitude is contagious, he is hard worker, and he is genuinely a great guy to work with. I hope that in the near future I will have the opportunity to work with Mr. Clark again.” - David Atkinson – One Place, LLC 

• Dramatically Grow Your Business - ”Hi Clay. You have no idea how you blessed me with our conversation and the book recommendations. When I was in Tulsa, the Brazilian government made a sudden change in the regulations for the housing market that drove a lot of people out of business. We pretty much had to reinvent our business to survive.February through June were not fun… However, God blessed us and we were able to survive and prosper. We have now about 20 employees working on 3 different construction sites. The principles in the books you recommended and the ones I ‘caught’ during our conversation have helped me a lot! I often tell my wife: ‘If Clay Clark can run 5 businesses, then why can’t I run a business and a ministry?” You have been an inspiration! Thanks my friend!”- Rubens Cunha – Assembly of God Missionary To Brazil

• Inspire Your College Students - ”Inspiring, funny & brilliant! Clay, thank you so much for the brilliant presentations you made to our students in the Spears School of Business atOklahoma State University. You motivated, entertained and educated us! We truly appreciate your time and hope to see you again in the near future.” - Professor Jeretta Nord – Oklahoma State University: Spears Business School

• Revolutionize Your Approach To Time Management - “I attended the afternoon session of your Time Management session at the Permian Basin Regional Planning Commission and I was blown away!

I know for sure that it will not only save me lots of money in the near future but make my appliance business profit more than it ever has. Many of my colleagues who attended were completely wowed by your presentation we could not stop talking about it among ourselves and with others.Since implementing these systems, I have already been in contact with a customer who purchased 3 appliances from me that operates a small sports card shop and also has a radio spot on Saturday mornings with over 10,000 e-mail addresses. I will definitely be in contact with you. Continued success and well wishes for you and your family. Sincerely!” - Rick Gallatz – Owner / Operator – Maytag Appliances

• Improve Your Public Speaking Skills - “It was on my newly made to do list to send you a heartfelt “Thank You” for coming out to West Texas and giving a encouraging presentation. I know that I was really inspired by what you said, and I called on your words to help me through the presentation that I had to make at the Annual County Judges and Commissioner’s meeting this morning. You probably remember that I was pretty anxious about it, but I was prepared and it went fine. I remember your story about stuttering, so I decide just to be candid with the audience from the beginning, so I started my presentation with the fact that I had never given a presentation to such a large audience, never stood on a podium, and never spoken into a microphone. I then proceeded to tell them the story of my childhood disaster at my piano recital. I knew my piano piece perfectly, and my teacher told me that it didn’t matter if I made a mistake, just to keep going. After starting out well, I got nervous and my hands got on the wrong keys. I remembered her advice to keep going, so I finished the whole song with my hands on the wrong keys. I believe you helped me, by your words, to prepare, do the best I could do, and then go on to the next thing on my list. I would like to purchase your new book from you, and if you would be so kind as to autograph it for me, I would be delighted. Your fan for life!” - Gail Robinette – Conference Attendee – Midland Texas 911 Dispatchers

Thank you for encouraging that I read, The Laws of Success.” I ordered it!” - Paige P. – Conference Attendee – Farmers Insurance

Pleasant, SC

• Raise More Funds For Your Non-Profit Entity - “You certainly were the on-site leader that we needed for this calling campaign. By watching you work with these students and seeing the result, I became reassured that hiring you to do exactly what you did was the right thing to do. Your team brought in over $120K in gifts and pledges, which may be an all-time ORU phonathon record! But I’ll have more for you later. Again, thanks for everything….and don’t drink too much Red Bull!” - Jesse D. Pisors, B.A. (1996) M.A. (2005) – Director of Alumni & Ministerial Relations and Annual Fund – Oral Roberts University

Have great day.” - Warren Unsicker – Small Business Program Manager – Tulsa Metro Chamber

• Grow Your Business In A Scalable & Duplicatable Way - “Clay Clark has been instrumental throughout in providing me with the business guidance at the right times! I have a big vision in what God has called me to do and sometimes as an Entrepreneur you can dream so big that you can lose focus. With 3 successful companies I knew that it was time for growth and sustainability so that we could reach the people that we needed to reach. I truly believe that God brings certain people into your life at certain times and I thank God for bringing Clay at a time of need. Clay has been instrumental in combining his business savoy with my big vision. The bottom line is that I am in business to help people… but to not run a business but to make money doing it, and that is what clay has helped me do!

Clay’s Philosophy: Study Successful People & Businesses, Then Do What They Did To Become Successful While Making Slight Modifications To Fit Your Life Style, Your Values, Your Business Model & Your Goals.

“A Carnegie or a Rockefeller or a James J. Hill or a Marshall Field accumulates a fortune through the application of the same principles available to all of us, but we envy them and their wealth without ever thinking of studying their philosophy and applying it to ourselves. We look at a successful person in the hour of their triumph and wonder how they did it, but we overlook the importance of analyzing their methods and we forget the price they had to pay in the careful and well-organized preparation that had to be made before they could read the fruits of their efforts.” - Napoleon Hill
