September 21, 2024 The Power of Saying No: Say Yes to Success
The Power of Saying No: Unlocking Success Through Selective Opportunities
Mastering the Art of Saying No.
In today's fast-paced world, where opportunities seem to present themselves at every turn, the ability to say "no" can be a powerful tool for achieving success. Steven J. Manning, a seasoned entrepreneur with over 47 Billion of commerce under his belt and marketing expert, shares his insights on the importance of being selective and the benefits of saying no to the right opportunities.
The Perils of Being a "Soft Touch"
Manning acknowledges that he has often been chastised by his wife for being a "soft touch" - someone who finds it difficult to turn down requests from others. This tendency can lead to taking on projects or commitments that may not align with one's goals or provide meaningful value. As Manning explains, "people can take me as a bit of a soft touch. So they ask me to do things that perhaps benefit them more than they benefit me."
The Power of Saying No
Manning emphasizes that the ability to say no is a crucial skill for success. He believes that the most important word in business language is not "free" or "yes," but rather, "no." Saying no allows individuals to focus on the opportunities that truly align with their vision and priorities, rather than getting sidetracked by requests that may not contribute to their long-term goals.

July 19, 2024 Failure is Not an Option: Essential Strategies for Unstoppable Success
This week was a wild ride – internet outages, jujitsu injuries, the whole nine yards. Steven J. Manning talks about failure not being an option and about turning challenges into wins? His advice was golden this week!
First, the internet went out three times in two weeks! Construction took the blame initially, but the third one...well, let's just say I might have been the culprit (details coming!).
But here's the thing, even with a sore eye from a wayward knee at jujitsu (ouch!), I wasn't giving up. Washing the car with sunglasses on became a funny adventure, and my determination only grew.
This week was a test, for sure, but one that led to some unexpected victories and valuable lessons. Stick around to hear how I tackled the internet myself, even with blurry vision, and the cool new skill I learned in the process. Get ready for some laughs, some learnings, and a whole lot of triumph over setbacks. Let's do this!

July 12, 2024 From Startup to Scale-Up: Essential Tips for Rapid Business Expansion
Scaling Up Your Business: Essential Tips from a Seasoned
Entrepreneur
Identifying Market Needs and Creating Demand
As an experienced entrepreneur who has grown a business from $1 million to $1 billion in revenue, Steven J. Manning shares his insights on the essential tips for rapid business expansion. He emphasizes that the key lies in identifying specific needs in the market and either fulfilling them or creating new ones.
"The opportunities lay in identifying specific needs
that you can fulfil either as a primary or secondary. By that, I mean, you're the first one or you need to, or you actually create a need."
Manning cites the example of the "pet rock" craze,
where a friend of his created a product and a need around it through clever marketing and copywriting. This illustrates how an entrepreneur can succeed by
understanding the market and crafting the right message to capture attention
and demand.
Steven is grateful for the great early reviews of his
book, THE BUSINESS OF LIFE. Taking a wrecking ball to conventions and
norms, in search for independent thought.
The eBook is now available on Amazon
The Audiobook will be available on Audible shortly.
Thank you in advance for reading Steven's book. We know you will enjoy it! I will be most appreciative for a five-star review on Amazon, helping make
my book a BEST SELLER.

October 05, 2023 Sustainability Or Not? Manning and Schooler Discuss
A must from Manning & Schooler: much about the unholy alliance of resources, sustainability, climate hysteria and profits. How about the perversion of both sustainability of resources and profit-making, the reason d’etre of business, in the intellectually bankrupt pursuit of climate hysteria?
Let us be clear: without profits, continuity in business is not possible. And, corporate altruism does not exist. And much about how the relevance, and abundance or lack of resources have taken a back seat to ownership and control of those.
In this podcast Nat Schooler was joined by Steven J. Manning — a noted business leader, advisor, author, speaker, broadcaster. A founder, CEO, Principal and Board Member of enterprises in the US and Europe. He writes and speaks on success, advertising, marketing, conflict resolution, writing, leadership, politics, social constructs, history and more. His professional and personal relationships include captains of industry, world-renown educators, authors, thought-leaders, sports personalities.

August 11, 2023 Bani VS Vuca VS Tuna VS Rupt And A Partridge In Pear Tree!
This week, we have a special guest, Steven J. Manning, who is an expert in strategic foresight and scenario planning. He joins me to discuss the various acronyms that are used to describe the uncertain and complex future we are facing, such as VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity), BANI (Brittle, Anxious, Non-linear and Incomprehensible), RUPT (Rapid, Unpredictable, Paradoxical and Tangled) and TUNA (Turbulent, Uncertain, Novel and Ambiguous). They explore the origins, meanings and implications of these terms, and how they can help us or hinder us in making sense of the world.
We also challenge the idea that these acronyms are just word salads that obscure rather than clarify our understanding of reality. Tune in to this fascinating conversation and learn how to navigate the future with more confidence and clarity.

March 04, 2023 Women In The Workplace: Facts, Opinion And Political Correctness
Businesses are certainly doing more to support employee well-being and inclusion, but this critical work is spreading them thin and is mainly unrewarded. Therefore, it is increasingly important for women leaders to work for companies that prioritize this flexibility, employee well-being, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). If companies don’t act, they risk losing their current women leaders and the next generation of women leaders. Nelly Shein and Nathaniel Schooler discuss in this short interview.
