The Atlas Summit, the premiere conference of open Objectivism, is featuring a "Symposium on Success in Business."

Ayn Rand was one of the few moral philosophers in history who regarded business as a noble activity, on a par with all other forms of creative achievement, and she celebrated business achievers as heroes in Atlas Shrugged.

The moral code of her philosophy, Objectivism, provides a strong and motivating foundation for the traits needed for business success: rationality, productiveness, integrity, and independence. At the same time, the skills and methods that successful businesses employ can be adapted to other areas of life. They can give us insights about how to apply the abstract principles to day-to-day life.

The Success in Business Symposium will explore this two-way traffic in a series of three talks and a concluding panel session. The speakers are accomplished entrepreneurs, consultants, and educators; and all of them have a deep grounding in Objectivism.

Join them to depend your own understanding of how to be an entrepreneur in your own life.

Sessions

Robert Bradley, Success in Business Symposium: Ayn Rand and Best Business Practices

The heroes in Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead are successful businessmen. All readers of the novels can agree that the heroes behave heroically. But do they behave in ways that characterize successful businessmen?

This lecture will compare the behavior of Rand’s heroes with the insights of four authors in the classical-liberal tradition whose works identify key aspects of free-market business success: Samuel Smiles, Joseph Schumpeter, Ronald Coase, and Friedrich Hayek. Along the way, it will demonstrate that the classical liberal capitalist Charles Koch has adopted and updated all of these insights. It will then argue that Rand thoroughly understood the insights of two of these authors but slighted the insights of two others. And it will suggest that her moral and aesthetic philosophy may have been responsible for her oversights.

Patrick Gentempo, Success in Business Symposium: Unleashing the Power of Philosophy in Business

The most important word in the world, is probably the most misunderstood word in the world. What's the word? Philosophy. What comes to mind when you hear the word "philosophy"? Old guys in robes walking around in ancient Greece? Academics having abstract conversations that have no practical entrepreneurial use?

In "Unleashing the Power of Philosophy in Business," serial entrepreneur Dr. Patrick Gentempo will make a passionate argument about the VERY practical use of philosophy in business and life.

In this very unique presentation, Dr. Gentempo will share:

  • The 5 step sequence from philosophy to prosperity.  
  • The branches of philosophy and how to apply them practically the power of premise͛ and the importance of identifying premises in business and life.
  • His unique "Philosophy Formula" that pulls it all together.

Whether you are a business owner, C-level executive, or an employee, understanding the practical use of philosophy in business can truly change your life. Don't miss it!

Kim Sawyer, Success in Business Symposium: Wealth is More Than Money

Life, Liberty and the Creation of Wealth: Aren't these what a going human concern in the Business of Life requires?

Life and liberty? Sure. But what about Wealth? What is it, really? Is wealth money? Is it Stocks or Bonds? Think again!

What is success in life, really? Your title? Your bank account? Your portfolio? Your toys? Think again!

Every moment of your life is an investment decision. Come and explore the idea of building success in every area of your life using the same principles and techniques we use for building financial success

Success in Business Symposium: Panel Session and Summit Closing
