his goal is the same for those who can learn from his experience,
cultivating his knowledge to enhance their professional and
personal lives.

Scott
Flansburg
 Scott
Flansburg, better known as "The Human Calculator,"
has developed the remarkable—and totally teachable—ability
to calculate numbers in his head, even faster than
a calculator.
While in grade school, Scott was constantly
searching for a better way to accurately solve math problems.
He developed a fun and easy system that stunned his teachers
and amazed his classmates. After completing high school, Scott
joined the U.S. Air Force, where he served in the Intelligence
Division and later as a computer programmer.
While in the service, a friend asked him to
help his son who was failing miserably at math. Scott turned
the boy’s F’s into A’s. A short time later,
the boy’s teacher called and eagerly invited him to teach
his techniques to the rest of the class. As word of his amazing
math ability spread, the producers of Live! with Regis
& Kathie Lee booked him as a guest on the show. Regis
Philbin was so impressed that he dubbed Scott "The Human
Calculator." The rest is history.
Today, Scott travels the world helping adults
and children alike overcome "math phobia." He continues
to appear on national TV and radio shows, including Larry
King Live, CBS This Morning, The Today Show, Entertainment
Tonight, and Prime Time America. And Scott regularly
delivers keynote addresses at seminars hosted by companies
such as NASA, IBM, Polaroid, The National Council of Teachers
of Mathematics, and the Software Publishers Association.
In total, Scott has influenced over 5 million
educators, parents, corporate leaders, and children—and
reached an estimated 125 million viewers. His Mega Math
home study course is now the most successful "math-made-easy"
home study course in history.

like Debbi Fields, Jim McCann, Joe Sugarman; famous trial
attorneys Allan Dershowitz and Gerry Spence; many Olympic

Blair, Muhammad Ali, George Foreman, Troy Aikman, Peyton Manning;
coaches Lou Holtz and Jimmy Johnson; entertainers, Naomi Judd,
Johnny Cash, Christopher Reeve; and popular speakers Zig Ziglar,
Tom Hopkins, Tony Robbins, Jim Rohn. And the list goes on
and on. No other professional speaker can match Mr. Kennedy's
speaking resume, which is why many of his own peers invest
in his consulting services -- and 225 of them attended his
Speaking Business Boot Camp last year. In fact, when occasionally
offered, his own multi-day seminars are sold out every time
at per-person fees as high as $3,000.00.
Well over a million dollars worth of Dan's
educational materials are sold annually, he has eight books
simultaneously available in bookstores, and his books have
been translated and published in nearly a dozen languages.
And in addition to his own business and marketing materials,
as CEO of the Psycho-Cybernetics Foundation, he has engineered
a recent renaissance with Dr. Maxwell Maltz' materials, including
re-publication of two books, a new co-authored book Zero Resistance
Selling, and a new cassette album released by Nightingale-Conant;
the #1 seller in their 1998 catalogs.
As a marketing consultant he has worked hands-on
with clients in 136 different product, service, and business
categories. While he works with a number of major corporations,
and his clients have included Weight Watchers International,
Mass Mutual Insurance, Amway Corp., and the #1 TV-infomercial
producer, Guthy-Renker Corporation, his preference is for
smaller, entrepreneurial clients. In the information-publishing
field, he has literally guided over two dozen startups to
multi-million dollar annual sales. He routinely commands fees
beginning at $5,800.00 per day for private consulting, $15,000.00
to $50,000.00 for direct-response copywriting projects, with
over 80% of all clients who utilize his services once opting
to do so repeatedly. Many of these client relationships are
now 5, 7, 10, even 15 years in duration.
As an entrepreneur, Dan has started, built,
bought and sold businesses, brought hundreds of products to
market, and at a relatively young age achieved millionaire-plus
financial independence, without a nickel of family money to
begin with, and with only a high school education.
Dan and his books and products have been repeatedly
featured in SUCCESS MAGAZINE, in ENTREPRENEUR, INC., USA-TODAY,
BOARDROOM REPORTS, BOTTOM LINE PERSONAL, and countless newspapers,
business journals and trade journals. One of his books made

and ‘gimmicks’. I do believe a golfer should have
one purpose and one purpose only: to deliver a powerful and
one correct impact of the golf club dead in the back of the
golf ball. The straight- shootin’ system will reprogram
your personal swing computer so that you instantly learn and
understand how to play in the fairway. Folks, your frustration
with the game of golf stops here!”

Earl Nightingale
 As
a depression-era child, Earl Nightingale was hungry for knowledge.
From the time he was a young boy, he would frequent the Long
Beach Public Library in California, searching for the answer
to the question, "How can a person, starting from scratch,
who has no particular advantage in the world, reach the goals
that he feels are important to him, and by so doing, make
a major contribution to others?" His desire to find an
answer, coupled with his natural curiosity about the world
and its workings spurred him to become one of the world’s
foremost experts on success and what makes people successful.
His early career began when, as a member of
the Marine Corps, he volunteered to work at a local radio
station as an announcer. The Marines also gave him a chance
to travel, although he only got as far as Hawaii when the
Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941. Earl managed to be
one of the few survivors aboard the battleship Arizona. After
five more years in the service, Earl and his wife moved first
to Phoenix then Chicago to build what was to be a very fruitful
career in network radio.
As the host of his own daily commentary program
on WGN, Earl arranged a deal that also gave him a commission
on his own advertising sales. By 1957, he was so successful,
he decided to retire at the age of 35. In the meantime, he
had bought his own insurance company and had spent many hours
motivating its sales force to greater accomplishments.
When he decided to go on vacation for an extended
period of time, his sales manager begged him to put his inspirational
words on record. The result later became the recording entitled
The Strangest Secret, the first spoken word message to win
a Gold Record by selling over a million copies.
In The Strangest Secret, Earl had found an
answer to the question that had inspired him as a youth and,
in turn, found a way to leave a lasting legacy for others.
About this time, Earl met a successful businessman by the
name of Lloyd Conant and together they began an "electronic
publishing" company which eventually grew to become a
multi-million dollar giant in the self-improvement field.
They also developed a syndicated, 5-minute daily radio program,
Our Changing World, which became the longest-running, most
widely syndicated show in radio.
When Earl Nightingale died on March 28, 1989,
Paul Harvey broke the news to the country on his radio program
with the words, "The sonorous voice of the nightingale
was stilled." In the words of his good friend and commercial
announcer, Steve King, "Earl Nightingale never let a
day go by that he didn’t learn something new and, in
turn, pass it on to others. It was his consuming passion."

The Nightingale-Conant Corporation was formed
in 1960 by Lloyd Conant and Earl Nightingale. At the time,
Earl was the host of the most popular radio show in the world
- Our Changing World and Lloyd was the owner of a company
called "Specialty Mail". Lloyd and Earl decided
to combine their talents, and in February, 1960, the Nightingale-Conant
Corporation was incorporated. The Strangest Secret and Lead
The Field were instant best selling programs. The Strangest
Secret went on to earn a gold record. Those programs led to
a proliferation of over 500 programs on personal and business
development. Earl Nightingale passed away in 1989 and Lloyd
Conant passed away in 1986. The company is now owned and operated
by Victor Conant. Today, Nightingale-Conant is considered
"The World Leader in Personal Development". Everyone
at Nightingale-Conant is dedicated to one mission - to help
people achieve happy and successful business and personal
