Michael Port has lectured, trained, inspired, and provided coaching and consulting services to over 20,000 business owners in the last two years alone. He has given everything from keynote presentations to breakout sessions to three-day seminars on his Book Yourself Solid® system in almost every corner of the earth: from the East Coast to the Middle East, from North America to South America. He has extended his reach even farther by leading seminars on the telephone for up to 1200 business owners at a time.

Book Yourself Solid: The Fastest, Easiest, and Most Reliable System for Getting More Clients Than You Can Handle Even If You Hate Marketing and Selling

A complete, easy-to-follow roadmap for starting and growing a service business that works: 93% of clients who have used the Book Yourself Solid system in Michael’s live seminars and intensive coaching programs have increased the number of clients they serve by over 34% and increased their revenue by over 42% within the first year alone. Even so, it’s so much more than an ordinary how-to manual for getting more clients and raising a business profile. Michael draws his audiences into a journey of self-discovery that leads to a major and necessary shift in thinking about marketing and sales: If you feel called to share a message—your work—it’s because there are people in the world who are meant to receive it. The proven methods Michael teaches have helped thousands of service professionals realize their dreams.

Beyond Booked Solid: Your Business, Your Way, Your Life—It's All Inside

Book Yourself Solid focuses on the first basic function of business development—marketing. Beyond Booked Solid: Your Business, Your Life, Your Way--It's All Inside, focuses on the second basic function of your business—innovation. It will help you discover your capacity to innovate in your business. Beyond Booked Solid gives you the strategies, techniques, and tips you need to build a bigger, better business.  It will inspire you to take action and help you stay accountable so you build the best business that’s best for you. And by the way, growth (a bigger, better business) can mean many things—bigger revenues, bigger profits, bigger operations.  What it will mean in your business is up to you.  Growth is a very different challenge from booking yourself solid. 

Think Big Manifesto: A Personal Manifesto for Thinking Bigger About Who You Are and What You Offer the World

Most people operate from only a fraction of who they are and what they are capable of. Why? Because it can be confronting to express yourself boldly in the world! The desire for bigness causes problems for people. They don’t know how to create it for themselves. They don’t think they are capable. They don’t think it’s possible for them. Even those who are successful need support in thinking even bigger because we are never thinking as big as we possibly can. Michael Port, the leader of The Think Big Revolution and the guy to call when you’re tired of thinking small, has his audiences design a Personal Manifesto for thinking bigger about who they are and what they offer the world in an authentic, meaningful, and prosperous way.

The 7 Simple Rules for Producing Remarkable Projects

The building of a business is the successful completion of one project after another. If you want to be successful in business, you have to learn how to produce remarkable projects—projects that other people are able to remark on. Why? Because your projects are your marketing. Remarkable projects will build your identity in the world because you will become known for being able to fulfill certain kinds of offers. You might think of it as reputation building, but it goes further. It’s also business building and “you” building. Remark-able projects are emergent. The future is uncertain; therefore, we can’t determine a result—we can only create circumstances for navigating to a result. Michael’s seven simple rules for producing remarkable projects help the entrepreneur create circumstances for navigating to remark-able projects.

Create Information Products For Money, Image, and Success

During this presentation, based on Michael’s 90 Day Product Factory course—the most successful information product creation coaching program on the Internet—audience members learn how to create an unlimited number of information products on virtually any topic. To many, creating multiple streams of passive revenue and becoming known as a expert in their field may seem more like a dream than reality. But after Michael’s presentation, they’ll be only a few clicks away from hearing the beautiful, melodic, "ka-ching, ka-ching" sound of their website turned cash register as the orders come rolling in.

Testimonials

“While I respect Michael greatly for all of his accomplishments, to me the most valuable assets Michael brings to his speaking are his kindness and his great love and compassion for people. I love to watch him captivate an audience with positive reinforcement, humanity, humility and passion. The passion that he brings to his presentations has been unmatched in my experience. He is constantly giving his audiences valuable tools to help them move forward both personally and professionally.” -- Caroline Kohles, Programming Dir. JCC Manhattan

"I want to thank you for the excellent “Book Yourself Solid” conference that you gave at the Sales Summit in Mexico City this past September 10th, 2007. Our Mexican audience of sales professionals truly enjoyed your insights, your comments and your presentation style. You did a terrific job and we are very pleased because our audience was pleased. We must do this again! Muchísimas Gracias!" -- Francisco Rodriguez, President, Congress Capacitación Ejecutiva

“Michael Port was the star of this year’s Annual Project Café. We can’t stop talking about him. His keynote presentation set us on fire. He is fresh, original and innovative. Not only was his presentation clear and fast paced but he managed to immediately create an experience that set the stage for a full day of open and highly creative work. I attribute the success of the Project Cafe to Michael Port.” -- Katherine Gotshall English, Creator, The Project Cafe

“Michael is very warm, personable and down to earth. He is the perfect blend of speaker, one who commands attention with poise and connects with the audience through lighthearted humor and sensitivity. He receives a standing ovation at the end of each and every speech, as well he should.” -- Stasia Carr, Coachville Member Services

"My name is Scott Tyler and I was a contestant on the TV show 'American Actor' which Mr. Port judged last Sunday.  I wanted to thank him for all the encouragement and helpful critiques he gave me.  Although my run in the competition ended last Sunday, the whole experience was one of a kind and will not be forgotten anytime soon.  Mr. Port's speech towards the end of Round 3 was particularly inspiring to me as a young actor trying to find his way.  I'm only sorry we couldn't talk with him more." --  Scott Tyler

"Michael Port really is an inspiration and a most entertaining speaker. Lots of info packed into one talk!" -- Linda Barnes, IFDA Executive Board Member

"I loved your session at the NSA convention. There was so much food for thought that my brain has been reeling ever since. Trust and integrity and being of service is what I'm all about, which is why your message was so valuable for me. WOW! Thanks for your engaging style and for sharing your powerful wisdom with us at NSA."-- Mellanie True Hills, author, professional speaker

"I was really impressed the way Michael Port handled his number-two position in the recent Sales Excellence seminar. Following the legendary but older Brian Tracy, Michael came off as an expert from a more hip generation. Several things he said actually seemed to contradict Tracy. But Michael was able to tie it all together, off the cuff I suspect, without making Tracy look old and stodgy. At least, that was my read from afar." -- Anonymous

"I want to thank you for sharing your strengths and talents with us at the YES (Youth Economic Success) Conference on Saturday, November 4th.  What an amazing presentation!  I think that you started a quiet revolution inside each of the young people that day that inspired them to think big about themselves and their futures.  You were wonderful with our young people!  I know that they are not your typical audience but I want to commend you on how well you related to them.  You held their attention and gained their respect which is not always an easy thing to do with that age group. As you can imagine, these types of financial literacy and money management workshops are critical to our young people’s growth and development since, for the majority of them, these topics have not been addressed at home.  Of equal importance is the need for our young people to reflect upon their talents and skills and realize how much potential they have.  While we help them on this journey of self-discovery and tell them how much they each have to offer, the message is often more powerful when it comes from an outsider who immediately recognizes their potential and encourages them as you did that day. We appreciate your time as we know how busy you are, as well as the effort and energy that you put into your presentation.  In addition, I want to thank you for donating your books.  I know that they will be a great help to our young people and I look forward to sharing the one you gave me with my nephew over the Thanksgiving holidays. I sincerely hope that you will consider speaking to a different population of youth within Good Shepherd sometime in the near future.  Thank you once again Michael." --  Sr Paulette, Executive Director, Good Shepherd Services

"Thank you for coming to our chapter at such short notice.  It was great to meet you and hear what you had to say about building a foundation, creating trust and credibility and brand identity.  It was refreshing to hear your person-to-person approach towards building a business and stopping the typical pushy “sales.”  In the end, you nailed my thoughts on “cash-flow” through your sales cycle suggestions." -- Aliya Nylander
